What could be more exciting and unique than to stay in a place that was Amsterdam's most famous brothel back in the day? Cocomama is housed in a monumental building, complete with high ceilings, chandeliers, and lots of daylight. On top of that we were fortunate enough to have a large garden where you can find some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still be in the city centre.
As we like to say, we are situated in the good part of town. All major museums within walking distance, a nice big daily local market around the corner, and a few blocks away from the Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein. In short it is a perfect starting point to explore the city.
