Hi

i was thinking of booking this for 6 of us stay on. It is in the jordann area, what are your views on it.

Looks great Chris. I love the Jordaan, something different around every corner, and the Brouwersgracht is a nice area. I'd go for it!

Thanks i've put a request in for it. I just keep checking my e-mails for a reply.

I've done some research on the area and i liked the look of it.

I didn't actually visit this area when i went to amsterdam. so that is something new. The boat looks nice. And there is a decking area that we can sit on and have a drink at night.

Hi all

Me and a friend got some cheap flights £58 return from are local airport.

We were wanderinf if its easy to get somewhere cheap to stay once we are there.

We thought it would make it more fun this way. But obviously we dont want to get there and be stuck with nowhere to stay.

Has anyone done it this way before?

Planning another trip to Amsterdam in March and the hotel I wanted to book (The Luxer) is fully booked, have found the above hotels, has anybody stayed in them or know anything good or bad about them. Another one was Prins Hendrick. Have checked on Tripadvisor and seem to be okay.

Thanks

Now booked for our 4th trip to Amsterdam, go on Saturday 24th March for 3 nights, we are staying at the Frisco Inn : http://www.friscoinn.com as recommended by a member of this forum a couple of posts back, sorry do not know how to post a link to the posting but it was pinkladywales, really looking forward to it, will post a report on my return. Just me and hubby on this trip but we are going again mid June (nothing booked yet) but with friends this time, guess we like the place

Well we are back, weather was lovely and we had a good time even though I managed to fall over a piece of concrete down one of the little side streets on Sunday night (was not even drunk enough to deaden the pain) and ended up with a black eye. Hotel was good report to follow in hotels section, cheap and cheerful, only slight downside was the steep stairs up and down to the rooms, but was only a minor blip in fact we are going to stay there again in June with our friends. Had a lovely meal in the Grasshopper but paid £5 for a bottle of Magners at the bar. We briefly visisted the red light district on Saturday night but spent most of our drinking time at Liedesplein or Rembrandt Square either in the Irish Pub (had a nice meal in there as well) and the pub just down from this Cocos Outback and for a quiet drink the Three Bells which was on the opposite corner. We also went to Artis Zoo which was very good, the meerkats were sunbathing and really enjoyed walking through where the butterflies were flying around in the tropical atmosphere. We caught the tram alot this time as well rather than walking everywhere, we bought a two day ticket.

Roll on June when we go again with our friends who have not been before, will take them to Anne Franks, the Heineken Factory, the Zoo and the Sex Museum for a laugh and of course a wander throught the red light district on Saturday night.

Just got back, had a great time as usual. Stayed at the swissotel on Dam Square - was amazing. Just wanted to let you know I've done a report for it.

Back already Donna? Thanks for the hotel review, sounds like it was a good choice. Looking forward to the trip report now!

I've just booked my cousin and her boyfriend into the NH Caransa which gets good reviews.

Can anyone comfirm that the Westropa is now called Tulip Inn?

August weekend all fully booked

Back to google search

Kazzzza try :- http://www.hotels.nl/amsterdam/caransa/ I've done a quick search and there's availability but am not sure of your exact dates.

http://www.hotel-rates.com/netherlands/amsterdam/nh-caransa.html have it also.

Best bet is to try the above then do a Google search for the hotel and check each one. Some may have allocated rooms.

Thank you Glynis,
