The guide
Where exactly
Number 1, 2, or 5 tram from Central station ten minutes away. Get off at either Kaisergracht or Prinsengracht tram stop as Kerkstraat is smack in between them, 3 minute walk from either one. Turn West on Kerkstraat and the hotel is a couple doors down from Leidsestraat, next to the "Dolphins" weed and coffee shop. Cross street: Leidsestraat
Etiquette
Nice breakfast area where you can meet other hotel guests who are looking for the same thing you are so just talk it up. Cruisiest Spots: Right in the middle of the Kerkstraat gay area, just a few steps from the best gay saunas in Amsterdam.
Nudity: Most rooms have a common shower and toilet, but you can wear a towel if taking a shower since you may have to climb stairs to get to them. If you like nude beaches, go to Zandvoort (see listing) only 30 minutes from Central Station. Policy: It is a gay hotel
Safety
Typical Amsterdam stairs more closely resemble ladders, but good handrails. Ask about the charge to use 800 number phone access, which is not posted anywhere but you can do it if you ask.
