We loved our stay at the Max Brown hotel in the Museum Quarter. The hotel is perfectly located half a block from the tram/bus stop and easy to get directly to and from the airport on the bus (about 30 min). You are in an upscale neighborhood with Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton stores a block away. Walk half a block to the museums in one direction, or a few blocks the other to Vondelpark. The location really is superb. The hotel itself is in a traditional Amsterdam building, which means it has VERY narrow and steep (my son said it was basically a carpeted ladder) stairways, so please consider accessibility if you have hip, knee, or other mobility issues. The reception area doubles as a cafe/bar, so it can be a bit confusing when you arrive. The staff are incredibly friendly and allowed us to check in very early after an international flight which made the difference between losing a day to jet lag or getting a nap in. The room is spacious, as is the bathroom. A few notes: 1) no lock on the bathroom is awkward when you are traveling in a group or family, 2) you can't prop the bathroom door open. Again, this can be a mobility issue as it is a heavy swinging door. 3) you can't regulate room temp. Our room had a small balcony, but it was locked, so it got hot. The other issue with facing the street is that scooters loudly run through the neighborhood at all hours. Ask for a back-facing room if you are a light sleeper. We travel with a sound machine, so it was fine.
