Hotel The Golden Bear in Amsterdam - Pictures
Description

Hotel The Golden Bear, Amsterdam's most popular place to stay for gays and lesbians, but also straight friendly, in the very centre of the city. This non-smoking hotel is located in two historical buildings backdating from 1737.

In the street where the hotel is located and in the nearby Reguliersdwarsstraat there are several gay bars and clubs. The entertainment square, 'Leidseplein', is located around the corner and is surrounded by several entertainment venues like the city theatre 'Stadsschouwburg' and a casino.

The central location of the hotel is perfect to easily reach the numerous interesting museums and nice shops but also gay bars and saunas are just a short stroll away from the hotel. There is also a tram stop around the corner, which enables you to reach all the sights even quicker, although Amsterdam is easy to explore on foot.

Different room types are available at the hotel. Some of the rooms have a private bathroom and other rooms share a shower and toilet in the corridor. All rooms are equipped with a washing basin, a safe, WiFi Internet and a DVD-player. On top of that guests have a small fridge in the room.

At the reception, where you can also purchase drinks, there is a world of information and the hotel's staff will be happy to give you all help and information needed and will make your stay a pleasant memory you will never forget.
