Quentin Golden Bear Formerly: Golden Bear Hotel / Hotel Unique
The site of Amsterdam's first ever gay hotel, dating from the early 1950s. However, on 1 October 2013 the Golden Bear changed hands dramatically and is now part of the small non-gay Quentin Hotels chain, which owns five Amsterdam outlets (Quentins Amsterdam, Arrivé, England, Zoo and Golden Bear) and four in Berlin (Quentins Berlin, Boutique, Design and XL Potsdamer), plus one in Prague. In 2016 and 2017 the hotel experienced a physical reinvention with a conversion of its 17 rooms from budget to full-blown modern. Prices remain relatively inexpensive, and the location — seconds from shopping mecca De Negen Straatjes (The Nine Streets) — is gay-convenient. Adjacent to Leidse Square.

great place!
Lovely hotel, friendly team. The room is amazing - much better standard than the 4* I stayed in prior to this hotel. Breakfast is lovely - fresh produce a bonus! The beds are comfortable and the en-suite bathroom is clean and well equipped. Worth the price and will stay here again with no hesitation.
Great 1 Star B
I stayed on the room on the lower level. It was spacious with a sink and safe in the room. I find the beds soft and the pillows thin. Shower and toilet just up the stairs outside the room. Affordable. 15-20 minute walk from Central station. Warning-if you bring a lot of luggage-the stairs to the upper floors are steeply inclined almost like a ladder-no joke. Breakfast is nice light plate of breads, meats, jellies with coffee/tea juice. Friendly staff. Close to Thermos if you like Saunas.
