psittaciformesaviculturist Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Bloody computer geeks nicking all the hotel rooms they wont be the coffeeshops as they can't claim it on expenses tho may have to put my trip off as there seems to be only 1* hotels left and my friend has "Hygene needs" SB Groenhoff in Vondel park was clean and tidy with a blind eye to a few J's before turning in. 3 nights stag party Jan 2006. Not my first choice as it's a fair job getting back from town when wrecked but fine for a long weekend with wife when there is no mad rush to get mashed. Bit too far from Grasshoppers which is still my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insurgent Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hotel Keizergracht - on Keizergracht, just hope my spellings behaving Nowt special, never tried the breakfast, but clean rooms, working bathroom bits and a nice canal view if you ask for it. Didn't complain once about us smoking it up something rotten after a day's tramping about had made our feet sore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jozie Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) Only found this site in the week, checking the posts, have been to Dam 4 times in last 2 years and stayed in different hotels each time, three of which i would recommend on the basis of comfort, price and acessibility to everywhere. Hotel Luxor (2 mins from CS in RLD), The Delta (on the Damrak 5 mins from CS) and La Boheme on Marnixstraat 2 mins from Leidesplein. Always book thru hotels.nl - they dont screw up and u dont pay til you get there, and they offer discounts upto 60% which gives u more spending money when you are there - bonus!! All the afore mentioned hotels offer ensuite and breakfast included in the price, each were no more than £40 for double room per night! They were all smoking hotels, with comfy rooms and plentiful buffet breakfasts. The hotel i was not so impressed with was Vijaya (RLD) on canal, very noisy, tiny rooms in which you wuld brain a cat if you swang it, and ensuit bathrooms which weren't - they were down the hallway, also very steep stairs and no lifts - not good when you are incapabe of coordinated movement. . Apologise if ave repeated info posted by others but did not read all previous posts on this thread -bad girl!!!! Feel free to PM for further details Edited September 2, 2006 by Jozie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest friendly electrician Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 that camping island is rough. at night, some woodlouse, with rather humped backs, patrol the loo's as there drawn to the light. one of my mates took a spade to one and didn't crack it. there like 4" long. errrrrr! my mates head to travel hotel on beursstraat. thats very cheap, but shared bathrooms and itchy grey blankets. furniture unfit for oxfam. just along the row is hotel terminus. got a great room in there, with balcony onto warmoestraat. to get to beursstraat, you head down the damrac from the station. left towards grasshopper, than at grasshopper turn right, thats the street. our room became everyones meeting point. loads of space. dead clean. onsuite. all in pine with a nice round table and pine framed modern pictures on the walls. bang up to date. nt cheap, but worth it . breakfast was in with the price, but i was never up, so my mates wondered in and helped themselfs it was a big buffet job, eat all you wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StonedBrittania Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 look no futher than the Greenhouse Effect stayed in both the Market Square appartment and one of the rooms, no the cheapest place at around £30-40 per person per night, but very smoker friendly (munchies in the mini bar ) and in a great location on the warmenstraat the Market apartment is about 5 mins walk away just round the corner from the Bluebird, def worth looking into SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 check out the hoel brian on singel if you dont care where your staying coz your neva gonna be there, for the price of a two person room (20 euros a night off season weekdays, 27.50 on weekends all year and on season in the week) you will be sleeping in a room the size of a toilet with two beds in (one attached to the wall)! Look out for the owner of the place (brian) he is an english bloke who came to amsterdam and neva left, anyone who has met him will surely know what i mean when i say he is VERY monty python, also remember dont ask the drinks machine for fanta, instead of nazi coke it spits out beer!

Ian Smeaton Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 RHO Hotel-on the corner of Dam Square behind the pointy column thing-on the street that leads to NES cafe-it's a proper hotel but the staff have seen it all so you can pretty much do anything you want. Slump to the floor in the corridor and need to rest there for a few hours? No problem -the cleaners will be sympathetic and help you back to your room-etc etc bout £30 if you share with friends-£60ish for a single or double and you can wander in any day of the year and they WILL have rooms yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
