Best Western Delphi Hotel

The four-story Best Western Delphi is intimately sized with a lounge that serves breakfast (for a fee) in the morning and cocktails (for purchase) in the evening, plus free fruit and coffee throughout the day. Hardwood floors and light wood paneling in the front desk area lead into the country-style lounge, furnished with a sofa and matching chairs. Small dining tables are topped with vases filled with fresh blooms for a natural touch. A buffet table holds stacks of magazines.

The Best Western Delphi is located in a convenient and quiet location away from the hustle and party scene of Amsterdam's city center. The neighborhood is mostly residential (rooms in the back of the hotel face neighboring gardens) though there are shops and restaurants nearby. The Van Gogh Museum (along with the rest of Museum Quarter) is a 10-minute walk north of the hotel. From the tram station right in front, guests can get to the city center in about 15 minutes. Of course, this wouldn't be Amsterdam without bikes, and the hotel rents them to guests by the day for a fun way to tour the neighborhood and the city.

While there are some free perks at The Best Western Delphi, such as free coffee and fruit throughout the day, expect charges for Wi-Fi and a continental breakfast. Cocktails and wine can be purchased in the small lounge. Bikes are available to rent and massage services can be arranged. Business travelers should note that while there is a computer for guest's use, the hotel doesn't have meeting rooms. It may be worth checking rates at the nearby Holiday Inn Express - Amsterdam South for meeting room access and free Wi-Fi.
