ITC Hotel

I had a medium and a small suitcase. The small one was heavier than the medium, due to the bottles of genever that were in it :--D. I carried the small one upstairs and a staff member carried the medium for me, which was sweet of her! I didn't ask for help but she went the extra mile. My room had a canal view. The bathroom was shared which was not a problem, as there was never a line LOL ;--) It is a five-minute walk to Rembrandtplein, and another five minutes from there to Spui or Dam Square, depending on which direction one takes. Tram #4 on Utrechtstraat is a two-minute walk from your room. One can take the #4 from Centraal Station and reach the ITC hotel in less than 15 minutes. It is a tranquil location; at night, one can faintly hear people partying in the distance, and it is not disruptive. 20 meters away is Amstelveld, a square with a playground, football pitch, and museum. There are houseboats lined up along the Prinsengracht canal. There is one with a unique design which is a good landmark. Nearby on Reguliersgracht I saw kids on a boat netting plastic and other rubbish. The photos I've attached are near the property and in and from my room. My room was on the top floor so part of the ceiling was pitched. I had to be careful when I sat up in bed so I would not bump my head. It was not really an issue. The room was nice and had a table and chair. There was a sink in the room. Being on the top floor meant taking the stairs, which range from spiral to straight and narrow. Be careful going up and down and don't bump your head :--)
