Thread: Any hotel recommendations for Amsterdam

  1. #26

    Re: Any hotel recommendations for Amsterdam

    If you've got a bit of money then The American Hotel sounds appropriate for a 25th Anniversary. I've stayed a couple of times and it's a great Art Deco hotel close to the Rijksmuseum. I think it was Hitler's HQ in Holland during the war.

    Obviously you'll be doing the Van Gogh museum but the Concert Hall is also world class if you're into Classical music. Also have to try their Ristaffel (sp?) meals.

    Enjoy Amsterdam. One of the great cities.

    EDIT. Just seen binmans post and it's located in that area.

    We stayed at a hotel opposite the main train station called the park plaza Victoria
    Often find that the area by a City's station is hanging.

    Is that not the case in Amsterdam ?

    we were actually on our way to the heiniken brewery and nearly walked past the coffee shop lol
    well I saw that as a sign lol and had to go in lol
    I had a few cakes ect and din end up going to the brewery
    it was also the wrong time to go to anne franks house straight after
    the giggling was frowned on lol
    Was thinking while we were over there, no wonder the Gestapo found Anne Frank's house, there's signs everywhere pointing it out.

    Its very busy area with lots of restaurants, comedy clubs and is a short walk to Van Gogh Museum, canals, etc. (there's also a sports bar there)

    It was not at all seedy with lots of outside bars etc lots of tourists. The red light area is easy to find from there if you're so inclined - I was!

    However this was 11 years ago

    google it mate

    Not in this case. Train from the airport into the central,station, then a short walk to the hotel.

    The red light district is close enough to walk to, but you’d have to go out of your way to get there iykwim. Down the road a bit is the central square “the dam”, shops etc. We walked pretty much everywhere, but you can catch a tram to places further afield. Make sure you do a canal cruise.
    I wanted to see the Van Gogh museum but the wife’s a bit of a phillistine.
    I’ve been to most major European cities, but Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful is been to.
    If you want to visit Anne franks house, book early. I can also recommend the Heineken brewery tour.

    I meant places to walk around - rather than just the Art It looked quite good as an overview of Amsterdam from my memory.

    Copenhagen would be a nice place to take Mrs Mower. Or what about Dubrovnik or Split in Croatia?
