This establishment's young owners hit on a cool idea: Cater to visitors who wish to explore Amsterdam on bike. They're helpful in planning biking routes through and around the city. You can rent bikes for 5€ ($6.25) daily, no deposit, and stable your trusty steed indoors. The recently renovated rooms have new carpets and plain but comfortable modern furnishings; some have kitchenettes and small balconies, and there are large rooms for families. The hotel is a few blocks from the popular
Albert Cuyp street market, in the somewhat raggedy De Pijp neighborhood. Two old bicycles hang 6m (20 ft.) high on the hotel's facade, and there are always bikes parked in front. There's no elevator.
