Hey guys, planning a first time trip to amsterdam on Nov 23 to Nov 27th. Are these hotels any good? Im more concerned with location rather then hotel quality, although it does matter. novotel amsterdam ibis centre Krasnapolsky Park hotel best western lancaster Thanksss
never stayed at these two but the locations are great and everybody seems to give them positive reviews. what is your budget, how many in your group?
I've never stayed in any of the hotels you've mentioned but several people I know have stayed at the park hotel, krasnapolsky and ibis. All good hotels by what they say.
i've stayed in Ibis hotels in several European cities and find that they have a consistent standard of quality as well as cleanliness and service. The rooms are tidied and beds remade in a timely fashion. This chain of hotels hasn't let me down yet. The others I don't know although I do know that a lot of people on this and other boards seem to like Krasnapolsky.
I didn't stay at the Kras but I almost did instead of the Singel. I have heard GOOD things about it and they have great room service, which is nice. I'm stuck on my little hotel that I fell in love with though. Don't know if I'll ever stay anywhere else. I stayed on a canal with no boat or tram sounds... sweet peace and a beautiful view from the 4th floor, not to mention VERY close to my favorite coffeeshops. Peace, islandgurl
For hotels in this price range the NH Amsterdam Centre has a pretty good deal that weekend -- buy 3 nights get one night free; includes buffet breakfast for 2 every morning.
thats where were staying..seems nice, in a quiet part of town,right across from the zoo...and near some cool coffeeshops like the bluebird and the het ballonjet...nov6th thru 27th..see ya there
by artis zoo? F that.... too far east imho not much public transportation out that way. if its REALLY close to the zoo then I think there is one tram line. other then that you will have to learn the bus schedule or endure a 15 minute walk just to get to the RLD.
Make sure you go to Bluebird and get the Blue Cheese!!! Awesome stuff I'll be arriving on the 17th, BONG. Maybe we could meet up somewhere like Amnesia. GREAT place to hang with excellent mint leaf tea MMMMMMM and even better weed. Make sure you print a copy of NEMESIS' coffeeshop map... it helps IMMENSELY! Here's a link... Amsterdam Coffeeshops by Nemisis If you can't print it out, right click on it and click on "save picture as", name it and save it. Then print it out from wherever you saved it to. Usually your pictures, maybe documents. Nem's GREAT for doing this, thank you again, NEM! It was my map the last 2 times I've been to the dam. See you there soon! Peace, islandgurl
2 trams..9 and 14,,,but im still young i like to walk...only 40..geez ...ill be up at 630 every day headed for coin or central...all good man..and not too expensive either..but if yer crippled or lazy it wouldnt be for you,,,never woke up to an elephant screaming so should be fun...RLD isnt important...smoke is ,,,37 days...grrrr
bringing my gps thing with me..tom tom..all loaded with every coffeshop in town...its a great little toy..gets ya around real nice...amnesias good too...amnesia haze...mmmmmm..with a white coffee...alright now ya got me excited again,,,tonight its mazar night....be back with the bong...see ya soon gurl...
nah not lazy..... walked from pink floyd to blue bird to katsu and back multiple times this queensday. not to mention pink floyd to leidseplein nearly every day i'd just rather start in the center and walk to the outskirts! its all good though, your right
WOW you ARE prepared, aren't you???? LOLOL Ok I'm totally impressed. I love my map but it's not a gps Amnesia Haze is one of my FAVES... yep we'll have a good smoke. Do you know how to roll those cone j's? I don't, but I've watched quite a bit. Maybe one day I'll get it, but I don't even roll here so... I think the cones are cool for over there and more than one person, but I would never smoke them here like that the way I use a pipe. It goes much further here that way. Sure am looking forward to a big fatty with some American friends over there though wheeeeeeeeeeeeee see you soon, BONG!!
Guys thanks for the replies. It looks like I might book the Golden Tulip Inntel . I think it has the best location out of all of them . Anyone got any info on Clubs and nightlife ova there?
hi .just go to amsterdam get a hotel near the station .lots of them .then you are near all the clubs and caffs ,somthing for every one great place THANK GOD FOR AMSTERDAM.
great location http://world.maporama.com/idl/maporama/drawaddress.aspx?GC_address=NIEUWEZIJDS%20KOLK%2019&JsEnable=1&GC_city=AMSTERDAM&GC_cityCode=34677&GC_zip=1012&GC_country=NL&xml=map&xsl=map&MD_scale=0.0002&MD_scaleMode=0&sessionid=2aba7df5-688b-46cd-8888-3df710770ead&MD_mapTemplate=maporama_asia&MD_zoomToFit=1&MD_size=500x380 you are 5 minutes south of central station. you have a tram stop extremely close by. the western canal belt is just 1-2 blocks to the west. the main red light district is just a few blocks east. a smaller red light district a couple blocks southeast. there are some nice bars and clubs on nieuwezijds voorburgwal but most clubs are down near the leidseplein, the rembrandtplein, and overtoom. absinthe bar is near you. www.dnb.nl has info on some shows. click on "agenda" (its the party calendar)
WOOHOO! See you in 27 days but who's counting? LOL ME! I'll be the one smokin' my good friend, Willie Nelson. Can't Wait! Don't forget to bring a favorite to Amnesia, BONG. We'll decide a date and time in a week or so, ok? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
