The first thing to know about the Best Western Leidse square is it's well located, really well located in fact. You're a few minutes stroll from the Leidseplein, a few minutes stroll from the Vondelpark, and not much more than that from the various rather wonderful museums Amsterdam has to offer.
I stayed in a single room, it was compact to the point of being rather reminiscent of some university accommodation - a bathroom, a bed a couple of desks and sufficient room to move between them. The bed was adequately sized, I'm 6'2" and it fitted me comfortably, if you're much larger than that you might find it a little cramped mind.
That said the room was well designed so as to fit in the essentials in a way that despite the size of the room didn't feel too crowded.
The bathroom was the standout feature, again not large but clean, modern and well maintained.
The staff were very friendly and helpful as well, if you use the shuttle bus from the airport to get to the hotel (strongly recommended at 23 euro's for a return, compared to 39 euros each way for a taxi) they'll book your return journey for you if you ask.
By no means a luxury hotel, but for the price highly recommended if what you want is somewhere clean, comfortable and well located.
