Flickr member gladiolaroot gives one of those short, to the point, Flickr caption reviews where we learn just enough about The Times Hotel in Amsterdam, a small canal side hotel:
Cute green room at the Times Hotel, on Herengracht in Amsterdam. That little door is the closet. The ceiling was very high and the paint treatment was cute. The poster on the wall is a Van Gogh. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
The hotel can be had for around $250 a night.
HotelChatter Tip:
If you want to try and add a star to your stay, try one of the canalside rooms, where you will look out over the canal instead of at your Van Gogh poster. Room 451 on the top floor offers sweeping canal views.

Tags: Anti-View
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

The person who took this photograph from a room at the Times Hotel in Amsterdam says, "It's not really a bad view, but it's not great either." Still, it's a rooftop and despite the sunny day, it's not very appealing.
