De
Admiraal Herengracht 563 (626 21 50). Modest but friendly hotel in city center close to the bustling Rembrandtplein and the city's nightlife. Smallish but comfortable rooms, some of which overlook Herengracht canal. This is a lively area, so it can get a bit noisy at night. No restaurant or elevator. Rates double €75-€105. [6 reviews, avg 8/10] Amstel Botel NDSM-Pier 3 (626 42 47). 
Floating 4-deck hotel moored on the north shore of river IJ, so quite a bit of water between you and city center, but there's a free shuttle bus and river ferry service.
Though some find it romantic and adventurous, the Botel very much resembles
a cross-channel ferry, with the same small cabins and narrow corridors.
Nonetheless the rooms are clean and modern, and the riverside rooms have
an attractive view. Rates double €87-€94. [65 reviews, avg 8/10]
citizenM Prinses Irenestraat 30 (811 70 55). 
A bit of a trek out of city center but close to the RAI convention center and the financial district, citizenM offers designer luxury on a budget. The hotel has 215 rooms with wall-to-wall windows, king-size beds, rain showers, free WiFi, VoiP, and a 'MoodPad' that allows you to control about anything electric in the room including the color of the interior lighting. There's a 24/7 food & beverage outlet serving anything from sandwiches to sashimi and a lounge area to relax in, with a nice selection of designer furniture of course. Rates double €79-139.

Downstairs bar with a relaxed atmosphere and moderate prices for drink and snacks. This is a lively neighborhood and the Crown is right in the thick of it, so do expect some nighttime noise. Rates double €80-€120.
