Having stayed in the busy craziness of Amsterdam previously, I was looking for something quieter and uniquely Dutch. Loved staying at Hotel De Fortuna and eating there for four nights. Our room, location, food and service were splendid. The included breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Mr Dekker, the manager, provides a wonderful experience. For us, Edam was a great way to enjoy a tranquil, idyllic setting, conveniently in the middle of the north Amsterdam area. EBS bus line sells a 24 hour pass for about 12 euros which let us zip out to Alkmarr for the cheese rituals, Zaanse Schans for the windmills, Horn, Marken, etc. and even the 30-40 minutes down to Amsterdam Centraal Train Station whenever we felt like sightseeing without having to pay the high price to sleep in a cubbyhole. I'll stay here again next time!
