The one-and-a-half-pearl Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Stadsdoelen is a simple hostel that guests either love or hate, with little in between. Since rates aren’t overly cheap, most travelers are surprised to learn that a basic breakfast isn’t free and towels cost a fee.

The bar gives guests a place to socialize when they’re not out and about exploring the property’s central location that's within a 10-minute walk to the Royal Palace and Waterlooplein Market. Travelers can get more bang for their buck at the trendy St. Christopher’s at Winston Hotel which offers a free breakfast, restaurant, and free towels.

Although part of a chain, Mercure Hotel Amsterdam Centre Canal District feels more like a boutique hotel thanks to its location in a series of old buildings on the outer edge of the Canal Ring neighborhood. Refurbished in April 2008, the hotel has 93 contemporary rooms, a bar, a breakfast room, and a limited number of private parking spaces available for a fee. Sure, it lacks certain amenities of a big hotel -- such as a full restaurant, meeting facilities, or fitness center -- but the boutique feel is definitely present. Communal areas include modern fixtures that coexist with the property's historical charm. Rooms are decorated in a few different color schemes and contain flat-screen TVs and minibars, though no coffeemakers or tubs. Guests who want a peaceful setting will find this hotel ideal -- far enough away from the main tourist drag and yet still close enough to Canal Ring shops, restaurants, and bars.

The upper-middle-range Mercure Hotel Amsterdam City is a solid pick for travelers seeking a contemporary spot in the business-centric Amstel district. Waterfront settings give a taste of Amsterdam's famous canals, but guests are well outside the center here, although nearby transportation connects to downtown. The 368 rooms can be small, and some have more up-to-date decor than others, but all have kettles, fridges, desks, and free Wi-Fi. Laid-back lounge, bar, and restaurant spaces have a trendy, Scandinavian look, and solid wellness, meeting, and parking amenities suit the largely corporate presence. Rates rise nearer downtown, so for a central stay that's reasonably priced, consider the Hotel Brouwer.

The eco-themed Conscious Hotel Museum Square is a quirky, modern establishment within walking distance of the Van Gogh Museum and local tram stations. The lobby features an overflowing live plant wall, which pops against the mostly white area. The eco theme is evident in the tree photo murals decorating the walls in the rooms, but they add a warm touch; without the extra color, the hotel might feel too cold. The rooms are quite large for Amsterdam, and floor-to-ceiling windows allow in lots of natural light for a bright and open feel. Rooms are simple and clean, with soft beds, basic, white bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs -- but no other amenities, not even a mini-fridge or coffeemaker. There's a bright and modern breakfast buffet, which offers a daily organic continental breakfast. There is no on-site fitness center or meeting spaces, which make the hotel a poor option for business travelers -- but overall it's a solid value option for tourists.

Hotel Seven one Seven is an upscale hotel with an exclusive ambiance located right on the Prinsengracht canal. It occupies a beautifully restored canalside mansion dating back centuries. The nine guest rooms are tastefully decorated with period furniture, original artworks, and objets d'art, and feature seating areas, minibars, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. The atmosphere here is more like a posh private residence rather than a hotel. Notable extras include a cozy library with a fireplace and a free breakfast. But the hotel's intimate size also means it's missing several of the usual upscale amenities, like a full restaurant or bar. Another luxury boutique hotel worth considering could be the Canal House, which has swanky and spacious rooms, and an on-site stylish bar.
