hotels in amsterdam

Recommended Posts

In my experience, hotels in Amsterdam are expensive and the rooms are small, so you might want to look a little bit further out to get value for money. I also had friends who stayed in a floating hotel, it was a barge I think. It seemed to be better value than the hotels.


Whatever you do under no circumstances stay in the Heart of Amsterdam hotel - it is cheap for a reason. I was there for a wedding a few years ago and another guest (famed for her last minute and disorganised approach to life) booked her and her Canadian friends into this hotel. She did not realise that they specialise in renting rooms by the hour. Ahem.


They arrived late on the night before the wedding - too late to look for somewhere else. They all woke up covered in flea bites and brought a nice dose of scabies back to Canada with them. I believe her Canadian friends have not been in touch since.

The Posthoorn Guest House is incredible. On the same street as the Anne Frank house. A quiet area surrounded by beautiful architecture, restaurants and cafes that is also a short and enjoyable walk from the city center. Honestly, best place I have ever stayed and the host is so welcoming. http://www.posthoornamsterdam.com/

    • Yes,I presumed so , but having been unable to find one ,I thought I'd ask on here.   It may be because I need to.virw the map on something other than my phone .
    • Sorry to hear that, New Wave. I hope you find something soon. I genuinely had this situation in Superdrug on the south coast yesterday. I was buying their own version of E45 cream (it's about a third of the cost) and they asked if I had my Superdrug card with me. I didn't. Who does?  But they were able to apply the appropriate discount to my purchase due to them having my mobile phone number and email on record.  You can fill in any old bollocks for the loyalty card. I found it quite funny when they asked me to confirm that I was Dr. Dave Dave, of Dave Road, Dave, London, SE15 5DV. I'm actually not a real doctor!  
    • With gym memberships, it depends how often you go and how much you get out of it. If you go 3 times a week or lose 10kg in a year, that's a bargain. If you never go, it's incredibly expensive. There are people who will happily spend £50 2-3 times a week at the pub or on takeaway food or coffees over the course of a week or leasing a car. Whether it's worth it is up to you. 🤷‍♂️
    • Also, if you keep receipts but don't have a card, they will give you the discounts you would have had. Probably a good idea to take the receipts in at a quiet time, though 🤣
