Amsterdam Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

day17: arrived in Amsterdam in the afternoon and located our hostel which was a fair bit away from the city center. In the evening we headed to the central dam square and checked out the sex museum which gave a rough history of sex and porn... we then walked through the red light district. It is quite a sight... sort of like a magazine for sex w...

Being that we went the cheapest possible route on our first and only overnight train we didn't get the best sleep. Our chairs reclined far back enough...it was just noisy (the train and other people's bodily noises) and a little cramped. We arrived in Amsterdam at 9:30 in the morning and gave it our all to go all day. After being pleasantly surp...

Arrived in Amsterdam late in the day. Our first impression of the city is not great as the train station is under construction as are many of the streets around it...so negotiating around lots of cyclists, mopeds, streetcars,cars and 1000's of people was not fun...but luckily our hotel was not too far..our packs seem to be getting heavier as our...

So far, the trip to Amsterdam is going well for Tarry and I but for Will and Susie, they had a guest in their room last night. It was a little mouse!!!! At least the manager of the hotel gave them 50% off their room. Carlos is high and Esme is just taking photos every chance she gets. Food is awesome!!! The people are nice and hospitable.

 I finally arrived early sunday morning. Surprised at how relaxed immigration was. No papers to fill in, just show the passport and without any questions it was stamped. I collected the suitcase and walked straight out. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and catch up with relatives.

I met a great Irish guy 'Joe', who manages a sports bar here, so he will show the Ireland game on Wednesday...ok, im kind of hooked now... Today I had hoped to walk around and take photos of this...

After a calm flight over the Atlantic, (and not much sleep!) we arrived in Amsterdam. After two hours of exploring the airport, we took a shuttle out to our transfer plane.

yes, i am indeed in amsterdam. and all the rumours are true. my hostel is slap in the middle of the red light district. which is SO red light, that there are actually barrriers at its perimeter to block of the traffic, and these barriers have big red lights on them, just to ram home the point. coffee shops sell marijuana, cafes are actually bars...

The flight to Amsterdam was leaving at 7:55am, so I needed to be at the airport by 6:30. B and A lived completely across town from the airport, so buses just don't run early enough. So the night before we called for another Mercedes taxi to pick B and me up at 5:30am. I was worried the taxi company would forget, but they were there. We road to t...
