Where is a good priced hotel?

Post by mjr1990 »

Hi, I'm new here and I was wondering where is a cheap place to stay? Iv'e been to dam before but stayed in the green house effect, but this time I wanted to go for a little less as I'm a student and I have fallen in love with the place!

I'm not that good at getting around Dam, but I know how to get to hill street blues etc on that road.

Any replys would be fantastic! :D

Thanks for all the replys peeps!

Also what do you lot do for food while your there? As everything seems so expensive even a can of coke costs like 2 euros!

But I suppose they can charge that much, as when you have the munchies your willing to pay over the odds.

For Hotels try: http://www.booking.com/country/nl.html?aid=200156

and have always found that the Old Nickel is clean and cheap.

as for food and the like try shopping in Albert Heijn (Dutch version of Morrisons) at the back of the Palace. You can get more or less everything you could need there. They also have Albert Heijn 'to go' in Centraal Station.

Cheers Kermit,

Yeah it was a real tonic. Only went to my usual shops this visit as had the missus in tow. However did like the LA confidential and some really fine hash that I can't remember the name of from Anyday and Central totally made my trip with offerings of Peacemaker, XXX, Bio-Skunk (I think) plus I had some really nice solids in Sahara and Black Bombay.

^^You have made my day with the listing of XXX at central, this shit rocks and is without doubt the strongest weed i have smoked in the Dam. That was a good 5 years back since i last saw it in Central. Hope its on the board come sept i realy do^^

I hope I can find my way around amsterdam, Iv'e been for 3 days before so should be able to know some areas.

I really fancy going one friday morning and come back late sunday, I just need to find a cheap place to stay, but as soon as I decide on one I'll let you guys know, as I'm gonna have to plan my way around on a map or something haha!
