The ‘Balcony Room’ has the nicest view, but you can better ask for a room in the back of the house if you’re a light sleeper. Due to the narrow staircase the guestrooms are less suitable for the disabled. Shopping and sightseeing The location of Marcel's Creative Exchange’s is perfect: right in the centre of bustling Amsterdam, so most places of interest are within walking distance. The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Modern Art Museum are less than 5 minutes away.
Nothing but Creativity Marcel’s creativity is reflected in every corner of his guesthouse. He gives each room its own unique character, whether it’s with beautiful ceramics, or a surprising design in one of the lavatories. This is a great address if you’re looking for a stimulating alternative to the big, generic, anonymous hotel chains. the Barcelona Room
