I've always been anti Bulldog due to its tourist trap nature, but as a sleeping hole with a bar at 30 euros a night I'm willing to look past there money grabbing nature.
ThanksI have a thread on the forum somewhere about your point. 1st, I think perhaps there is a distinction between Bulldog Hotel and the other Bulldog establishments in that at the hotel, much less of their business traffic is public. Yes it is a hostel and some walk in business exists but, a majority of their business is booked in advance on-line.
At the Bulldog Hotel, what you give is what you get back. By this I mean, when I am polite, patient and courteous to the staff they are the same in return. Befriending them, I have come to understand the issue from their perspective. It can be very challenging to manage the multicultural clientele that frequents their establishment, particularly when 90% of them are stoned all day. Somehow, they make it work very well and there is always a beautiful parade of stoners to watch and mingle with. Hopefully you will meet Sandra at the front desk, she is a gem among women. When you check in, you'll get the standard credit card room key and a hotel building pass card. Security and/or Front Desk personnel are supposed to ensure that only guests enter the building. Just having your hotel building pass card ready when you come into the hotel will get you on the good guest list. I have thoroughly enjoyed making it onto the list, I hope!
PS - If you like strong beer, 8.5% LaChouffe on tap @ the hotel bar, look for happy hour specials.

Re: 12th - 16th of January ALONE
First post on this website been a fan if this site for ages now. Hi everyone
Found this funny as I'm coming to Amsterdam first time ever on the same dates 12-16th january and I'm going solo too. Been planning my dream holiday for ages now got fed up waiting for my mates to get their passports sorted or saving up same old story
Used to be a heavy smoker but these days I barely get any due to moving and working in a remote area but counting down the days till I can have a nice smoke session in the dam. So basic just going to the top coffee shops and the least busy one's at night.

You have been posted on the January Whos In Town page.
You can see who else may be in town during your stay.
Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.
By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

or an email address if you want.
You can do a little practice shopping on the Coffeeshop Menus page.

DIdnt mean to hijack your thread chris. You will love going by your self to amsterdam. I have never gone by myself but the first trip I made with a girlfriend she wanted to sleep all day so I went out on my own and had a blast. I think I could do a trip alone.

I too always heard Bulldog was a tourist trap but it was our first stop to smoke when we dropped our luggage at the apt after arriving. We stayed right down the street from the one near Siberie and it was closed so we walked to the BD and ordered chocolope and lemon haze and both of them were damned fine quality smokes! We sat outside and enjoyed our first joints in public where nobody gave a crap you were smoking herb. I went back for chocolope several times and bought some at the red light district Bulldog as well. Both times we were treated nicely, got a good deal and the weed was very good. If these places didn't have so many steps to climb we would probably stay there but I have a bad knee and I'm old and fat. Just not gonna climb that shit every night fucked up out of my mind LOL!
Enjoy your solo trip, let us know how it goes!
