This was our first visit to Amsterdam and it was only for a 4 night stay on our to Spain. We searched for a hotel that was central to the city, as well as close (walking distance) to sites and locations we were interested in ... the Schiller fit the bill!
The hotel and staff were great and very helpful as we needed transportation to the airport and some hints on where to dine and drink. Take advantage of the great food and drink at the hotel restaurant connected to the hotel lobby.
Yes, the hotel is in close proximity to an all night music/dance club, so if you're a light sleeper, then take that into consideration. Personally, this did not bother us and we understand areas of nightlife.
Great restaurants located all around and some amazing bars to have drinks, including the Smokey Coffee Shop.
If you enjoy a vibrant night life with great accommodations, close (walking distance) to many great tourist areas of Amsterdam then, I highly suggest the NH Amsterdam Schiller.
