Lonely Planet review
Art history buffs will want to stay here, where you'll find a portion of the wall where Rembrandt painted the Nightwatch. The Doelen's location at the confluence of the Kloveniersburgwal canal and the inner Amstel River means grand views.
The Spanish-owned NH chain seems to be slowly taking over every hotel in Amsterdam, but among them the Doelen is a winner for its location, history and intimacy. The atmosphere is considerably post-Rembrandt (1883), but still feels suitably Old World. All you have to do is look up from reception to see the history - its six storeys curve around a massive staircase atrium. The Doelen has been on something of a downward slide (with some of its 85 rooms looking a bit tattered), but is scheduled for a renovation beginning in 2006. This presents both a problem (potentially getting caught in construction) and an opportunity (cleaner, neater rooms once it's done). One thing that won't change is the view, especially from the breakfast room.
