Christmas in Amsterdam

Post by freewheelin frank »

Looking to spend Christmas in Amsterdam. Divorced this year and feel like Amsterdam is where I should spend Christmas. Does anyone know of any good hotels or apartments that you could recommend? I have stayed in several locations but do enjoy the De pijp area...( really all areas) Anyone else want to have a Christmas blowout in Amsterdam from 19 Dec to 29 Dec?

Sounds like a merry Xmas. The only hotel that comes to mind in De Pijp is The Bicycle Hotel. I think this place might be pretty cool, never stayed there though. Have fun. I wanted to head out for early December, but it's getting too damn pricey for me.

I have posted you on the December Whos In Town page. Have a great trip.

Maybe extend a few days and do New Years too.


Enjoy

booking.com has saved me a fortune over the last few years.

Spent xmas '05 in the Dam wth my little brother. Great times and they still serve late!
Also, they don't have all the tacky crap you see over here. I love the Dutch

Yeah, it's pretty easy. They will give you instructions based upon your arrival time. I stayed there last trip, they gave me an hour window from when I arrived to meet the host at the apartment. We were about 5-10 minutes late, but she seemed cool about it. I would let them know if you think you might be later. I've heard some of the hosts require you to call them when you arrive in town to arrange the meet. All this depends on the host. You will pay them the remainder of the cash on arrival. Way better deal than a hotel in the same price range. It's much more relaxing in your own apartment and you might save money by cooking your own meals.
