Hotels in Amsterdam

[Fortjefferson]

Going to Amsterdam for a week in March. Can anyone recommend a Hotel not far from central station. John

[sleep envy]

A few PHers did a trip last July, we satyed at the Swiss Hotel. Can't remember the name of the road it's on but it's on one of the main squares/roads in town.

The area near the Central Station along the canal is quite well interesting.

Stayed in a floating hotel in Amsterdam called - wait for it "The Boatel".!!!

Went for a stag weekend and have to say that this is one place to be avoided at all costs.!!!

I know you're looking for recommendations for a good hotel, but this is advice worth noting

One plus point was the TV - some VERY interesting channels available...........

and im led to believe its pretty during the daytime too.

the canal house hotel is superb if you get a canal facing room.
It's on Prinzengracht IIRC, about 20 mins from the station

Unbeatable value for a stag weekend, literally 1 minute across the road walk from central station.

Stayed there 2 years ago, booked for May this year too.

ETA: I'm sure its great for non-stag do's too.

I have stayed at the "Cok City Hotel" ( correct spelling ) - for a lads weekend , a nice , modern hotel easy walking from the train station and also very close to the Red Light district ( but not right in it ).

IIRC we spent every night in a really good Blues club ( "Bourbon Street" ?)

Bourbon Street is great - and bring your guitar for a jamsession! Good and cheap and fast Indonesian food around the corner at Bojo's . . .

May be I should have said, "the wife" and I are going to Amsterdam for a week.

If you want to splash the cash you can always stay in teh American Hotel

Best value 'nice' hotels in Amsterdam are those in th NH chain

the City Centre hotel is an ex-warehouse with very large rooms and close to the centre (about a 15 mins walk from Central Station)
