I've always found the weed in Haarlem to be of a consistently high quality and often significantly cheaper than Amsterdam... Any of the Willie Wortels will do the job splendidly, or try the Birdy - if I'm staying in Amsterdam for more than a couple of days, I will usually try to get on a train to Ha...

100ml limit still stands I think. Bang on the money Boner... xxxcronicxxx - you have to put your toiletries in a clear plastic bag... hang on; These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack these containers in one transparent, re-sealab...

The last flight I booked with BmiBaby cost me £39.98 inc taxes - £1.04 each way for the flights alone! This is for an early (06.45) May 12th flight out, coming back in the evening on the 15th. Two weeks earlier they had another sale on, but the same flights would have cost me about £60! :roll: Most ...

Nice one Boner! :wink: I knew if anyone could find it, it would be you, fella... I think I came across this meself quite a while back, but was surprised at how much extra the rooms were compared to when I'd booked the place direct and so neglected to bookmark it - then I realised I was completely ba...

I've stayed at the Hotel Beursstraat a couple of times - very cheap, but with en-suite facilities... No brekky, but at the price, you cannae argue. Good location too. Big thumbs up, but not bookable online as far as I've found. Would happily stay here again, but for the fact that I like to book in a...

BmiBaby flight sale til midnight Tuesday 20th!

I was looking at the flight sale BmiBaby had on a week or so back, but couldn't work out with a couple of mates which dates to go for.. Most of the flights were then snapped up - cheapest at the time was about £60 return from BHX to AMS. Sale finished and I resigned myself to having to pay a lot mor...

As with most all the coffeeshops in Amsterdam, it is always regarded as good form to actually buy something, CarlMarx - think of it like this... If you went to your local pub/club and produced a bottle of Vodka or a few cans of beer and sat down drinking them, what do you think the reaction from the...

I emailed them from their site to check availability for March... I'm still waiting to hear anything back from them... :? I guess I'll just have to pass my business on to someone who responds to their emails (and clearly wants the money!) I thought, after reading a few positive reviews of the place,...

Hiya Puffin! To be honest, I haven't been into Barneys on either of my last two visits, and wasn't impressed by the prices and food on the visit before that, which is a shame because I used to come here all the time. Things change. Amnesia was my second favourite hangout before the re-furb, which wa...

Indeed, Sir Niall... For a first time visitor, Barneys ticks plenty of the right boxes - unlike the Grasshopper/Bulldog style places, the weed isn't bad - I've had pleasant surprises here as well as bad ones, but once you've been a few times and have found the "right place" for your own pa...

You'll enjoy the stay there... I've been to more expensive places and found them lacking compared with this hotel - you can store your bags after (or before) checking in/out, and as I say, the staff are really nice - Nadia, I think it is, is a real sweetie and she goes out of her way to make your st...
