Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Ok, so I was trying to get back out to Amsterdam for the end of this months meet and greet. But I have a hectic schedule at work and too many deals that are relying on me to be here. Very annoyed but money's money at the end of the day. So me and the missus have decided that rather than wait til 420 meet and greet and just cancel November altogether, we are planning to go for new years. As you can guess- very busy time of year to be booking so late.

Our fave cheap and cheerful hotel Cornerhouse is fully booked so this has left me in a situation. I don't wanna be paying through the nose at these grotty hotels charging 100 euros plus a night. So has anyone got any ideas?? I need a decent hotel we can smoke in for under 100euros! We get 60 a night deal at Cornerhouse so anything remotely close or even better would be ideal!!

Have you looked into an apartment?

Hotel wise, I'd have a look and see if the Abba is available, I haven't stopped there myself but everyone that has says its good the money: http://www.xs4all.nl/~htlabba/

Thanks man.

I've looked into this, Hotel Abba have no vacancies for this time.

Apartment Pauls website seems to have closed down.

Now I'm just waiting for an email back from the other one...fingers crossed!!

I have a culled list of cheaper apartments here:

Great tip about Apartment Paul, Boner. I just tried booking various combinations through him, in two different stays totaling nine nights of an 11-night trip in July, all prefaced on spending the two middle nights in Zandvoort.

Paul e-mailed me back and said he didn't have all the combinations I want (Apartment F is no longer rented and Apartment C will be renovated next summer), but if I'd take Apartment B for all 11 nights, he would only charge me for the nine I originally requested, since he couldn't rent the middle two anyway. So it came to 11 nights for E900.

The apartment has a lofty staircase and a low living room ceiling, but for the money saved, we can take the train to the beach every day if we want.

The Beach? I would not be going to the beach while I was in Amsterdam!

But hey! Each to their own!


Have fun!
