Nadia Hotel Amsterdam

The Nadia Hotel sits right on the Herengracht canal in Amsterdam’s Canal Ring, offering boutique rooms in a pair of 17th-century canal houses. The location is hard to beat — right between Leidseplein and the Nine Streets shopping area. Rooms are small (this is Amsterdam, they all are) but well-maintained and the canal views from the front rooms are lovely. Mid-range pricing for the area.
