5. The three families below are going to Amsterdam on a weekend break:
1). Mr. and Mrs. Brown: a young couple on their honeymoon. They would like somewhere quiet and romantic, with a good restaurant. They would prefer a room with a bathroom rather than a shower.
2). Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson: an elderly couple who want somewhere as central and as cheap as possible.
3). Mr. and Mrs. Green: a couple in their middle-thirties, with a son aged 11 and a daughter aged 12. They have friends in Amsterdam so they won’t often be eating in the hotel. Mr. Green likes to go jogging in the morning. Their children want a hotel where will be other young people.

each family to stay at? Why?

Once a private house with a rich history, this hotel is highly recommended for the standard of its accommodation.

These are larger, superior rooms with a view of the canal (available at a supplement).
Downstairs you will find a quiet bar and a small breakfast room. The hotel has no lift and some of the stairs are quite steep so please request a downstairs room if the stairs could be a problem. All rooms have a private shower.
