The Melrose Hotel is amazing! 10/10! 5 stars! This hotel is really nice and clean. As well, it is on the best street in a great neighborhood near the canals. The neighbourhood is quiet and pretty. The hotel is on Elandsgracht, which is an amazing street. There are coffee places, restaurants, ice-cream, shops, supermarkets, pharmacy etc. all in the same street. The tram stop is just a few minutes walk. A beautiful canal is two blocks away. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the Leidseplein, which is full of bars and restaurants. As well, there were two small bars nearby on Elandsgracht street. The nine little streets shopping area is just a few minutes away, with lots of cute shops. And we even walked home from the train station one night although it is a long walk. It’s a very safe neighborhood too, where lots of residents live, not so touristy. Totally awesome!
