Stayed anywhere nice? Any recomendations?? 3-4 star

Depends on budget. When I go there on business (2-3 days a week over the lasty 6 months) I stay at the Best Western Appollo which balances budget with somewhere resaonable to stay

I pay 95 euros mid week and 120 euros weekend. You can get cheaper hotels online but watch out as the photos usually make them look a lot better than they are! The Apollo is bang in the centre so the location is great and you can walk everywhere. It's like a slightly posher Premier Inn. Quite small rooms but recently refurbished.

The Ibis by centraal station is not bad, all depends on budget really.

Radison on Rusland,

Basjoe's is on the corner

So close that the friendly staff will escort you to the Concierge at the Radison who will be able to tell you your name and have the bellhop show you to your room.

Allegedly....of course

Was thinking around the £60 per night twin sharing.

I don't seem to find many offers. Is it the norm to get discounts asd a walk-in?

Book online with expedia, they tend to have some cracking deals....much cheaper than walk in prices.

I can only advise the Rad as it's the only place we stay, as I would not be able to remember let alone find anywhere else.
