If you dislike grand marina-themed hotels and castle-like structures, better stay at the Hotel Toro if you’re in Amsterdam. While Amsterdam has many more treasures to reveal and a friendly population to boot, it’s best to spend a quiet retreat with your loved one at this petite but luxurious hotel. Located centrally in the city, the hotel is only 16 kilometers from the nearest airport, Schipol Airport.

The hotel is close to many bars and restaurants, a sure way to make your dining experience in Amsterdam as variegated and interesting as Amsterdam’s history itself. Even if it’s a small hotel, the Hotel Toro also has meeting facilities, complete with Internet and fax services.
