Our 43-bedroom hotel is in a quiet street in the heart of Amsterdam, just a two minute stroll from a wide choice of restaurants and bars. We are also within easy walking distance of Amsterdam’s main attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Musem and the Floating Flower Market. The buzzing nightlife of the Rembrandtplein and the Leidseplein are also close at hand. Alternatively, numerous tram lines around the corner from our hotel will take you anywhere in the city.

For a bed and breakfast hotel it met the equirements. staff were very good and the location was good, with a 10 -15 minute walk to most places, 25 minute walk to the main station.
Nothing negative was experienced during my stay.

Great breakfast, really helpful reception staff, great location, clean and tidy room, comfortable beds, clean bathroom
Barhroom with no windows so smelt a little of damp. stairs are steep and difficult to get up and down by yourself let alone with your suitcase. we were put in a building over the road from the hotel so had to walk to the hotel every morning for breakfast but it wasn't far so no big problem.

We had just come from paris and stayed in the most awful, dirty, horrifying hotel i've ever stayed in. so when we got to asterisk i was afraid it would be the same way, since their website made it look a lot nicer than it wasin paris, i was thrilled when we got to the asterisk hotel. it was clean, comfortable, the staff we very nice and very helpful. would recommend this place to other people.
No smoking hotel
