This Amsterdam accommodation would ideally suit business or leisure travellers seeking a tranquil base on the edge of the city centre, perfect for both relaxation and exploring the sights. Reclaimed from the IJ River in the 1600s, the Eastern Islands owe much of their heritage to the booming shipbuilding days of centuries past, creating an industrial yet picturesque setting brimming with history. For a fascinating insight into the area, head to the neighbouring National Maritime Museum, which has recently emerged from a dramatic renovation and is now considered one of Amsterdam’s finest cultural attractions.   

Primarily residential, the quarter boasts a great selection of supermarkets, stores, cafes, restaurants and public transport links, granting easy access to all four corners of the capital, with Central Station reachable in less than fifteen minutes. For affordable and delicious Thai cuisine, try Siam Thais Eetcafe just 150 metres from your doorstep or take a brief stroll east to Gare de L’est for a cosy evening amongst the locals. After a satisfying dinner, head to the Brouwerij ’t IJ, a delightful microbrewery highly recommended for its tasty beers and welcoming ambience.
