Josie, for an unknown reason, I could not get the 'comment' link to work for your query.   Last May I stayed at the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel, Kattengat 1, Amsterdam.   It is a comfortable hotel well located near Centraal Station, tram lines, and ferries.   My stay was booked through Viking as a pre-trip stay so I'm not sure how its rates compare.   But the location is on a quiet side street and superbly located.   While there, we found the nearby Ava Cyril Italiaans Restaurant to be a cozy local restaurant with huge portions so, if with a friend, you might want to share.   Enjoy!
