working in holland the noo

going to arnhem to the war museums and battlefields on saturday

then coming back up the road to den helder thinking we might pop in to amsterdam for a few sherbets – how ever most town centre hostels/hotels are min 2 nights and are 40 quid a night – there are 5 of us.

anyone know of any hotels/hostels that are out side the centre that are still accessable by public transport during the night that dont look for 2 nights min or are not 40 quid a night (40 quid for 1 night is acceptable – 80 squid is not ! – we aint looking for the ritz )

not looking to go out and get pished just a few jars and to say we have been to/seen amsterdam

failing that we will drive home after (we do have a non drinker who can drive but after last weekends fiasco in alkmaar where one of our number was left behind and ended up staying at a random fella he met while roaming the streets we know how much of a disaster that is ! )

cheers m`dears

We stayed at a Best Western on Apollolaan for Queen’s Day recently.

A short hop from the centre by tram, nice cafes and bars around. It’s nothing spectacular but might be in your budget – not sure you’ll get it for £40 a night though…decent breakfasts and clean rooms with showers that worked fine.

Best Western Delphi

Guys at work go there every few weeks and stay at a hostel called the flying pig

No idea what it’s like other than cheap and clean

150 euro for 2 at the best western

flying pig is full

i for one think we have left it too late … was supposed to be going offshore on monday so hadnt planned owt – but jobs slipped and going off a week on monday – will be a long week of nothing next week !

Have stayed here before: http://www.hostels.com/hostels/amsterdam/euphemia-hotel/647

Basic but clean and quiet (at least it was a few years back!). They have rooms for up to 4 people.

150 euro for 2 at the best western

😯

Jeez, sorry, dude…we booked a load of rooms so got a bit of a discount. Didn’t realise it would be that pricey at short notice. Why don’t you try tripadvisor?

cheers anyway min

we have bailed -im driving down , might put a blanket in the back of the hire scenic for some kip ! niyi is going to drive us home after 😀

Bear in mind that parking anywhere near town is prohibitively expensive. I saw lots of hostels there when we visited.

Try the Boatel, next to central station, cheap, can do one night, they have a website

I was going to say Hans Brinker, but looks like Saturday is all booked up, looks like Sunday would only be £26 each!!

Worth noting for next time maybe?

With 5 of you surely you can all chip in and rent a hooker for the night. I am sure they will have a bed.

or, . . . get arrested and spend the twighlight hours in the Police Station,

. . . you’ll have to pay a fee next day though?

happy days . . . .

here you are – double rooms about 80euro
Botel

botel – full

amsterdam is just too expensive and busy

change of plan …. utrecht tomorrow night followed by dortmund on saturday night !

hostels sorted in both !

i once stayed in a spanish hotel in amsterdamn, it was not the best but cheap, no idea what it was called, it also had a bible and a hammer in the bed side table… 😯

flying pig is full

Uptown or Downtown? there are 2 flying pigs in Amsterdam.

actually – just had a look, they recommend an alternative:

St Christopher’s at The Winston, Amsterdam, Netherlands

5 Bed Private Ensuite: £36.
