The location on the north side of Rembrandt Square gave us walking access to everything Amsterdam has to offer: museums, churches, the National Ballet and Opera, restaurants, coffee shops, an Albert Hein grocery store, and the Pathe Tuchinski (the oldest and most beautiful movie theater in Europe!). The tram stops right out front for easy access to Amsterdam Centraal train station and most of the city. Their sister hotel, the NH Schiller is directly across the square with a lovely tavern and cafe. An offer to forego room service at the Carnasa gave us 2 drink tickets daily to have a nice cold Heineken at the Schiller's bar. Nice perk! The staff was so accomodating, from Ainhoa helping me with a reservation snafu before arrival, to Marta at the front desk finding us the perfect room for our 16 day stay. The room attendants made our stay smooth and comfortable, even without daily service. Clean towels, coffee and bottled water was graciously provided upon request, with a big shout out especially to Nikita who always smiled at my requests and Christina's cheerful welcome to us on day one. Rutger made sure a room problem was handled immediately the very next morning to make our long stay more pleasurable. The rooms are not large, but adequate, clean and comfy. Keep in mind the hotel is located on a busy, popular square so it can get noisy when bar patrons are let out at 4am, but the positives about this nice hotel far outweigh the noise.
