Conscious Hotel the Tire Station

Amsterdam


Located in the former Michelin tyre station, doors away from its sister Conscious Hotel Vondelpark (there are four Conscious hotels in total), this hotel is popular with travellers for its sleek yet ecofriendly rooms. Comfy beds are backed by cork pin boards and decorated with quirky pictures, while smallish bathrooms have good showers and an encouraging 'Get Naked' sign.

Downstairs, there's the Sticky Fingers cafe and the excellent organic Moer restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful, and you can hire bikes.
