dude check out the flying pig hostel by vondel park its like 20 euro a night...... or the stayokay hostel is right across the park its like 19 euro... not much cheaper but.... a euro is a euro.... and the american dollar aint worth shit over there............
that sucks man.... good luck.... sounds like you might have to resort to sleeping in the park for a night or two. peace & love, sophia
Sounds unfortunate mate. Hate to say it, but why not cut your loses and not go if money is that tight. Failing that the only way to do it is the Hostel route or put up a tent soemwhere.?
Theres always the campsite, I can't put my finger on the web addy at the moment but I'm pretty sure someone else will be able to help with that?! Jon
Camping Vliegenbos and Camping Zeeburg are lower cost alternatives. A tent site for 1 person is just under EUR 10/night.
I worked it out, staying at the Flying pig hostel downtown, saving a bundle which helped me big time. Let me know what to expect, never stayed at hostel. I know the dorm room set up, Ill be in a room with 4-6 persons I think. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Queens day here I come, thanks again. peace.
I hear that The Flying Pig Downtown is fantastic. The location is excellent, on Nieuwendijk close to the coffee shops and centre of town and it has an entryphone system so you can be assured that you're in complete safety. See Ya Soon!
yeah... flying pig dt is great; you're probably not in the mood for fun, but it can get pretty loud and wild late at night so try and have a good time! have a beer downstairs, play some pool... it's pretty straightforward; they'll give you a room number and a bed and you go in, find your bed, pushing people off it, if necessary, lock your bag and stuff in the locker provided; i wouldn't leave anything valuable laying out. good luck man... peace, sophia
I've never stayed at a hostel either. Is it really that much cheaper than a hotel.? For instance, I only pay €35 a night, breakfast included, etc, for a hotel. How much is this Flying Pig place a night, out of curiosity.?
such hostels are cheaper when traveling alone. if you have a group of 3-5 i'd always go with an apartment, houseboat, or hotel in amsterdam. But for the individual, a hostel is much cheaper than paying for a single hotel room.
Your right. I did'nt take that into consideration. If there's a group of you it's more of a laugh and cheaper to get into a hostel or houseboat.
