The Lloyd is my favorite hotel. Comfortable, friendly, quirky and interesting rooms, comfy beds, great food and lovely staff. The location is really nice. Though it is a little outside of the center, the tram to Central Station is right around the corner or you can walk for 20 minutes along the water and be right in the center of Amsterdam. Nice restaurants and shopping right near by. The Lloyd is a special place, my home away from home in Amsterdam.
