Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam

The Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam hotel is one of the iconic buildings as you exit Centraal Sation.  Located right next to the Thomas Cook and the Heineken buildings, the Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam sits almost at the gateway to the Red Light District.

The Park Plaza Amsterdam is easy to spot, just look for the planters in the revolving door that sits at the entrance of the hotel.

The lobby is clean and fairly updated, but is sort of small.  The check-in desk is to the left, and was very fast and efficient.

As you enter the room, there is a small entry way with a closet.

To enter the "bedroom", there is a small step down that could be somewhat hazardous if drunk, or intoxicated in some other manner.

Bedroom

The king room is very small, and the bed takes up almost the entire space.  Oddly, there is a small desk right near the bed.

To the right is the bathroom, which is rather small.  There is a small sink, with a shower/tub combo.

Bath Amenities

Near the foot of the bed, there is a small sitting area with a dresser and TV sitting close by.

The rooms are somewhat tired looking and are in need of renovation, but with the its great location, I don't see much money going into improvements until absolutely necessary

Rooms were ~$350 a night when I stayed there, but thanks to the Club Carlson "Big Night Giveaway", I was able to book this room with 50,000 Club Carlson points.
