The bedrooms are all very different and unique and offer some of the best accommodation of any 3 star hotel in Amsterdam. They are all influenced by various philosophers, hence the hotels name. An example of some rooms is the one decorated with antiques, chandeliers and quotes painted on the walls, or the Asian style Confusius room decorated in purple and silver. All rooms are in very good condition and are very tastefully decorated with much attention to detail. The bathrooms are also in very good condition but consist mainly of showers only.
