I don’t know why you are going to this ancient and incredibly beautiful city, but personally I would advise you to take a bike and ride along the canals of Amsterdam. Personally, I was struck by the incredible tranquility of the people and the place. Probably, I think so, outside the tourist madness like the "red light district" Amsterdam is a very pleasant city for living, although cramped from medieval buildings, but very friendly to people. In the new quarters, the feeling "people are comfortable here" intensifies : -) Would I choose a hotel-ss again?
probably yes, by no means the only and not the most pretentious but quite pleasant accommodation
