Riks' place is a typical Amsterdam building situated directly in the center at one of the beautiful canals (Gracht). It has completely stylish and modern facilities, yet maintaining beautiful furnishing details of the traditional 'Grachtenhuis'. The location is just perfect - I came to Amsterdam for a conference and could still enjoy the city: Centraal station as well as authentic cafés and restaurants in the attractive Jordaan-district are just around the corner. Comparable hotels in this area are likely two to three times the price. Check-in and Check-out went outstandingly smooth. Riks is a great host. Highly recommended!
