    We use Hotel De gerstekorrel Damstrat 22-24 - it's clean compact convenient - saves fortune in taxi fares.

    It's a short straight walk, from Central Station, dead centre, but not too close to Red Light district.

    It has main hotel above American Pizza House, with 2 other sets of rooms above other shops.

    Get your room in the main building, then you only need walk downstairs for breakfast - the pizza place is your eating area! Sounds strange, but it works well - no pizza customers in the am.

    & as the continental breakfast is inclusive, stock up on rolls, n stuff for your bay out & about!

    Try & find one of the booking links on www one called The Channels Discount or similar. That way you get a 5-10% discount form normal room price.

    If you want other tips on what to do/look out for in Amstredam, just ask!! There's a couple of other Moneysavers, who, like me really love the place!!

    NJOY!!

    Check back, as this one keeps coming up. I can recommend the Van Onna. Online, on the canal, ask for a room at the very top overlooking the canal. They don't take credit cards though.

    Winston Hotel. Right in the middle of all the action. Cheep and cheerful.

    house boats & apartments, have stayed in a house boat before, much more fun than a hotel room
  • we stayed at the Hemp Hotel http://www.hemp-hotel.com go there with an open mind and you'll have a very relaxing stay and a lovely breakfast! It's more of a fair-trade bohemian type hotel than a pot den! Beware if you have mobility problems though as the stairs are very steep.
