havent figured out the dates yet as its very sudden. will hopefully have it figured out within the next week. can anyone reccomend a nice clean/cheap place to stay this time of year? i know its the tourist season and prices will have risen.

Bob's Youth Hostel used to be cheap n' cheerful, don't know what the 'clean' is like anymore, CS in the basement. Haven't stayed there for a few years now....I'm a bit to old to be a youth anymore
Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 92, 1012SG. Some reviews here;

...I know from US is not easy&cheap...anyway flight should cost less now, r u working a lot?Can't come for the summer?
flights are expensive, dollar weak, i have my own graphic design business and work is hard to come by here bec of recession, unless u have any work for me
also have a wife and kid i cant just ditch, unless i came for a weekend.

yea im thinking about the flying pig. as long as the place is smoker friendly. stayed at the sheraton schipol last summer and although a great room and cheap when i used my starwood points, was a pain not being able to smoke there.
