hey dudes

im planning a last minute trip to amsterdam, well me n my girlfriend are going on the 2nd of sept for 3 nights before going around germany/eastern europe. for abit. All the places iv looked at only either dont do private double rooms, or seem ridiculously expensive! iv looked on hotels.nl, they were asking for £300 for a 2 star hotel stay.

i was thinking the centre of amsterdam might be outwith our price range, but i know haarlem vaguely so thought it would be cool to crash there n day trip into the dam. has anyone stayed in haarlem before that could reccomend a decent budget place? cheers!

I have found these ones for Amsterdam they are supposed to be the better hostels in the city

Bob's Youth Hostel - Nieuwe Zijds Voorburgwal 92

Flying Pig Downtown - Nieuwendijk 100

Flying Pig Uptown - Vossiusstraat 46

Bulldog Hostel - Oudezijds Voorburgwal 216 – 220

StayOkay - Vondel Park / Zeeburg / Stadsdoelen

Meeting Point Hostel - Warmoesstraat 14

And here is a few that I have found for Haarlem aswell

Stayokay Hostel - Jan Gijzenpad 3 , Located north of the town centre.

Amadeus Hotel Grote Markt 10, Budget Hotel

Hotel Carillon Chinese/French kitchen with free wi-fi in rooms.

Hope this helps, enjoy
