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.

This aparthotel offers travelers stylish digs in a quiet location, still within the canal ring but comfortably distant from the never-ending party of Amsterdam's medieval core and red light district. The four-pearl Amstel Corner has only four guest rooms and suites done in playful, contemporary Dutch design that charms, along with. All come with kitchenettes that contain microwaves, fridges, Nespresso machines, and electric kettles, plus units have flat-screen TVs with Netflix and Apple TV, and there's free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are equally well-equipped, with rainfall walk-in showers, high-end Rituals bath products, and some have heated towel racks. The biggest drawback here is the lack of on-site features, not uncommon for properties of this type. For similar ambiance and design with expanded space and facilities, check into the Mauro Mansion.

Located on the southern edge of the Canal Ring, the 27-room Euphemia Hotel is a basic, hostel-like property offering a budget stay for those who need little more than a bed and a shower. Rooms range from private double units to 10-person dormitories -- all but three of them with en-suite bathrooms. Linens are provided in all rooms free of charge and towels can be rented for a small fee (they’re free in private rooms) but there’s little else in the way of amenities, and bathrooms and furniture are drab. The pleasant lobby lounge has a couple of vending and coffee machines, and a simple breakfast menu with four options is available for a fee every morning. The nearby Budget Hotel Tourist Inn provides a better value, with free breakfast and towels.

Located a block from the Anne Frank House, the 40-room The Toren is an upscale, romantic boutique that occupies two 17th-century buildings (one of which was used as a safe house during WWII) set along the Keizersgracht canal. Rooms range from small Cozy Single units looking out over a courtyard to more spacious options with jetted tubs and canal views. Though each room is unique, they're all decorated with the same sophisticated The Toren touch combining rich hues, chandeliers, and bold patterns. The lounge offers a solid breakfast (for a fee), a good array of drinks, and small snacks in a gorgeous space with a warm atmosphere. However, there are no full restaurant, gym, or spa on-site. In this price range, the Banks Mansion has a more understated feel and offers tons of outstanding freebies.

Located in the Leidseplein area of Amsterdam -- a main tourist area that ultimately leads to Dam Square -- Acostar Hotel is a basic, affordable place that lacks amenities (including an elevator) despite being big on charm. Its stone front facade is aided by the quaint cobblestone street it sits on, and guests can rent bikes to visit the bevy of nearby shops, cafes, and art galleries. The lobby is a great indicator of the size of the rooms, which are smaller than those of a typical American college dorm. Each features a different relaxing color scheme, colorful artwork, and antique- or plastic-looking chairs that are more decorative than functional. Room decor varies by floor, with each espousing a different style and vibe; No two rooms are completely alike. The bathrooms are nice and contemporary with pretty iridescent tiles; some feature shower/tub combos while other have single shower stalls (these aren't closed off, which allows water to travel all over the bathroom). Free Wi-Fi is a nice perk, but overall this 30-room hotel might be best suited for a younger crowd looking for a cute but basic place to crash.

There's little to find fault with at the Boutique B&B Kamer01. It's set in a beautifully renovated 16th-century Amsterdam townhouse in the heart of the Canal Ring, and serves a five-course champagne breakfast each morning overlooking a picturesque neighborhood scene (it's clear why the Canal Ring is on the Unesco World Heritage List). The three rooms are sumptuously furnished and equipped with DVD libraries and iMacs, while bathrooms come complete with designer toilets and luxury Korres toiletries. While guests can pay a similar price for luxury hotel with much more in the way of facilities, such as the nearby Hotel Pulitzer, many prefer the boutique intimacy and meticulous attention to detail offered here.
