Amsterdam: The Hilton Hotel
It was raining pretty hard as soon as we arrived in Amsterdam, and it remained fairly wet and quite chilly throughout the trip. As soon as we got to The Amsterdam Hilton, made famous for John Lennon & Yoko Ono's "Bed-In-For-Peace", all we wanted to do was have a quick bite to eat and some tea. So, while we waited for our room (not the John Lennon/Yoko Ono presidential suite, alas), we dined at one of the hotel's resturants, the Half Moon Lounge. We ordered some teas and a falafel sandwich with a side of fries. How amazing was this sandwich? And the service was wonderful and unintrusive while we relaxed by the huge canal side windows. Highly recommend this hotel, which has beautiful rooms and bathrooms with gorgeous canal views and a spectacular breakfast buffet, which may make an appearance on Foodhogger, later.

I'm really into the tiny anchors on the carpet! I love hotel reviews and photos in general. (I am posting about where I stayed in London this week!)
Oh and I really want to visit Amsterdam!
Hey Daisy, I loved the anchors on the carpet, too. Looking forward to your London hotel reviews - I love all of your restaurants reviews, so I'm sure they'll be a good read!
