imo thats alot of money for 2 nights, if you dont care about smoke, try Priceline/NYOP, idf you decide to ttry priceline i suggest zone 2 or 3 and bid for a 4 or 5 * Hotel, you will most likely ay the same amout maybe less, on hotwire a quick search of your date 5-7 april

And also have a look at booking.com. They have always been the cheapest and I see 4 & 5 star hotels for cheaper on your dates.

Thanks guys. Not sure what price you were seeing, but last night there was a single room for about £70pn, which sounded about right for short ish notice, but it was sold out this morning, so got a bit spooked & booked another place quick.€220 for 2n. More than I wanted to pay for shared bathroom, but managed to find a flight for £93, which is £30/40 less than I was expecting, so swings & roundabouts.
Obviously have a lot to learn about the art of finessing a bargain crash pad

I stayed there many years ago & found it to be a acceptable. Though I remember them cramming us into a room in the attic, which was no larger than a closet. I remember being awakened early in the morning by a man who entered our room after only a single knock on the door. He walked between the 2 beds..opened the window & rigged the pully outside with a rope before yelling down to the guy on the street. Apparently the needed to hoist something up...lol. A bizarre experience, but an experience nonetheless. It was only my 2nd trip to the dam; so I basically figured this was common in Europe & just rolled with it.
The location is great...the hotel average; though I know they've made some improvements since I've stayed there. I do recall hearing some stories of folks having stuff stolen from their rooms; alegedly by housekeeping, but I didn not have any issues during my stay. I think there are better options in that area in the same price range.

Pretty sure I've got the same room (elsewhere)

Location OK, not Picadilly Circus and not too far to walk if I miss the last tram (how late do they run anyway?)
I've got till April 1st to cancel, so might keep looking for a better deal, but sorted if not.

The link didn't take me to hotel just a list of available ones for your dates. Trams stop running at 00:30 but you can't always rely on the last one of the evening. Besides unless you are in De Pijp, still not fat, the Avenue is not more than a 20 minute walk form anywhere in the center.

That's weird, just tried the link & it took me straight to it
Budget Hotel Titus City Centre

Just got the same/similar room at Titus Hotel for E30 cheaper with Easytobook.com (first booking was with Booking.com)

That's an extra couple of g of quality weed!
