Description

This stylish 3-star hotel is situated on the 'Oudezijds Kolk', one of the oldest canals in the ancient heart of the city.

The Central Station, the Royal Palace, Madame Tussauds, and the famous Red Light District are all less than 300 meters away from the France Hotel. Moreover, the nearest metro station and bus station are as close as 20 meters, so that the hotel guests have an excellent connection to the remaining attractions of the city.

The well-maintained exterior breathes the atmosphere of the old city centre, and the modern interior is tastefully decorated. The rooms on the street side of the hotel have a beautiful view of the old canals. The hotel has 55 single, double, or triple rooms, each of which has its own bathroom, television, radio, and telephone. Right next to the hotel you may find the hotel’s own restaurant and an Irish pub, where you can enjoy our breakfast buffet in the morning.

Anonymous Great location for budget: 28 September 2010; 7.2; + nice decor, awesome location; - was able to book last minute online. the woman at the desk was surprised that there was any availability. when asked if there was any more availability for the rest of the week, she said "no" without even checking. I asked her 2 more times, and she did the same thing. she could have at least checked.

ANNE-MARIE HOTEL BIEN SITUE MAIS TRES MOYEN: 31 May 2010; 4.6; + Situation centrale de l'hôtel. Proposition de l'hôtel pour parking voiture par l'intermédiaire d'un voiturier externe : solution assez onéreuse.; - Sanitaires vétustes et la propreté très moyenne. Petite surface de chambre avec fenêtre de type vasistas avec vue sur un mur.
