Bed and Breakfasts in Amsterdam - Prices and Reviews

Despite the late night, we managed to wake up and make it to breakfast, which was included in the price of our hotel, before it closed. The breakfast buffet was excellent and had the most variety we've had since our trip started. We gorged ourselves and made plans for our second assault on the city.

We took the tram back to the city cent...

Got into Amsterdam at 6:35am (12:35am in our time!). Immediately took the train into Centraal Station from Schiphol airport (about 20 minutes). Walked to our hotel and checked in - holy cow, I cannot believe how TINY our room is!! It's barely big enough for two twin beds. However, we have a great view of a canal right outside our window and it j...

I lived in The Netherlands for years. Never really visited Amsterdam, just went there to do whatever I needed to do. Now we no longer live in The Netherlands and for some reason I have to go to Amsterdam for my business quit often, can you imagine? The first trips I stayed in hotels but I don't like the value I get for my money. A business relat...

We are back! Or better: we are gone. First of all, I want to apologize to all those people we wanted to see but did not. We really really were surprised: those 4 weeks were a blink. But I always say: you have time for what you make time for. So: for some of us: we did not try hard enough and I am sorry. I still have to write the 'Belgian' storie...

We had my work summer BBQ on Saturday - which was lovely - it was held at one of my colleagues homes - she has a huge shed that had the band in one end and plenty of room for the BBQ at the other. Her place was out of Norwich so it was really lovely to see another area of Norfolk. We left Norwich and flew to Amsterdam on Sunday night. It was eve...

Good beer, good chocolate, beautiful spring weather, bicycle paths and wind on our back! Folks, we made it from Amsterdam to Brussels and this is even better than what we were hoping for. What kind of wine do you have? One kind And what kind is that? One kind. You want or no? This conversation with a barman in Amsterdam and we knew right away we...

Alas, you won't find many photos here because it was raining the whole time we were in Amsterdam. Not that I was in much of a mood to take photos anyway. However, I did catch a few shots from our coincidental encounter with Hugh Grant. When I told Terry that we had run into him in Amsterdam, she said, "Of course," assuming he was there to take a...

(Val) The girls were on the 6:10 am flight out of Dublin to Amsterdam and we were on the 11:20 am flight. We were hoping to change that and fly out together but it just didn't work out. So we said good-bye in the Dublin airport. It was depressing knowing the trip was over, but it was even more depressing being separated again. So I pretty much s...
