A prime location in the heart of Amsterdam accounts for much of the WestCord City Centre Hotel Amsterdam's popularity, but colorfull rooms that include modern additions (like Nespresso machines) add extra appeal to this 106-room, mid-range property. Small, pleasant rooms feature vibrant, funky decor and modern comforts such as flat-screen TVs, though not everyone will appreciate the lack of privacy created by glass bathroom walls. Sparse features include an inviting lounge and breakfast cafe, though breakfast comes with an additional fee. The nearby Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Centre has similar rates with additional features like a fitness center, restaurant, and bar so its worth considering as well.

Scene
This mid-range hotel in central Amsterdam has a blend of retro and modern decor.
The WestCord City Centre Hotel Amsterdam greets guests with a lobby that is both retro and modern, mixing a '70s aesthetic of earth tones, striped armchairs, and dark wood veneer paneling covering the walls -- plus mid-century, white shell chairs and minimalist communal tables. There's plenty of seating in the lounge-like area and large tables are conducive for getting some work done as well. The hotel's Piazza D'Oro breakfast cafe is similarly clad in earth tones, with vibrant red accent walls. Velvet backed chairs are clustered around wooden tables and framed black-and-white photographs hang on the walls. The hotel attracts both leisure and business travelers who value the central location that is within walking distance of many sights.
Location
Located in the city center, close to Centraal Station and within walking distance of many sights
Situated on one of the major roads running through the city center, the hotel is within walking distance of many tourist attractions, including Dam Square, Amsterdam Centraal Station, and the famed red light district, which are less than 10 minutes away. The hotel is surrounded by lively pedestrian streets packed with shops, restaurants, and cafes. Other popular sights and attractions can be easily accessed via public transportation, and there are tram and bus stops right outside of the hotel that serve several lines. Schiphol Airport is about a 20-minute drive away.
Rooms
Modern rooms have funky decor -- and glass-walled bathrooms that might pose privacy issues for some.
Rooms are outfitted in funky, modern decor that includes brown carpets with teal or lavender stripes covering the floors and continuing up one of the walls in each room, adding a quirky decorative feature that also helps with soundproofing to some extent, though street noise can still be an issue in street-facing rooms. Transparent plastic chairs and brightly colored drawers add to the funky vibe. Rooms are fairly small, with often cramped layouts due to the position of desks at the foot of beds. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, and tea-making facilities, though they lack mini-fridges or minibars. The bathrooms have partially frosted glass doors and walls that might pose privacy issues for some, but they're clean and modern, with transparent glass sinks, walk-in showers, and limited toiletries.
Features
Lobby lounge with vending machinesmNespresso coffee machine, and business corner -- plus a breakfast cafe
The Piazza D'Oro breakfast restaurant has a big hot buffet in the mornings, along with continental standards like croissants and yogurt -- but it's not free and the hotel does not have a full restaurant or bar. The comfortable lobby lounge has a selection of snacks and drinks available from vending machines, as well as an industrial-sized Nespresso machine. There's also a business corner cubicle with a computer and printer. The hotel has no parking of its own, but an underground parking garage is right out front.
