Things to see and do in Amsterdam
Tourist Inn is one of the most centrally located low budget hotels in Amsterdam. You stay in the heart of the city within walking distance of 'must sees' such as the Red Light District, the Dam and the Anne Frank Museum. Tourist Inn is therefore ideal for an 'all in one' city break. Nearby coffee shops, cafes and clubs.
Leave your bags safely stored at the Tourist Inn hotel and stroll straight on to the center of Amsterdam, where you can find countless coffee shops, cafés and bars.
