Nice hotel a bit away from the city center
Me and my best friend stayed at Bastion Centrum Zuidwest Amsterdam Hotel in March 2008 for a weekend break. The hotel is located a bit out of Amsterdam's touristic part with its gorgeous canals and charming houses but thanks to excellent transportation links, to reach these beauties takes only 15 minutes by tram. (You will have to walk for about 10 minutes to get to the tram stop from the hotel). Apart from its location, the hotel has a cosy atmosphere with friendly staff. We stayed in a twin room and the room was comfortable with satisfactory facilities. Bathroom was nice and clean. It is a good hotel to stay in Amsterdam if you don't mind a little bit of walking.
