“Hotel Library Amsterdam charms with its 18th-century canal house setting and uncommon literary focus; the book selection in the library definitely caught my eye. While the location puts you within a short walk of Dam Square and other major sights, be aware that some rooms may be compact. For travelers who appreciate a blend of history and intellectual curiosity, this could be a compelling choice.”
