What more cheap beer!
Back on the bus off to Amsterdam, we arrive to a sunny early evening in this stunning city of tall houses & water canals everywhere you look, probably our favourite city so far (sorry Washington you are now 2nd). Our tour guide warned us about all things 'local' none of which I need to mention except for the bikes. The bike rule the road we …
Sunny Amsterdam
OK, where did I leave my inner directional device again?? I thought Madrid was bad but this is like looking at a mirror room of same streets, even with a detailed map I'm having trouble, and I’m not even high – I swear! Maybe it’s all these chemtrails in the sky? Hmmm
My friend rose had suggested a few things for me …
We made it JUST fine!
We're HERE! Well it took sometime and backtracking to find our hostel but we made it, even in the rain. We'll update with photos when we get to Avignon! A bit mild and damp but the rain only lingers. Seem to have nice boys from Las Vegas in the same room. It's just begun!
Party Time
Amsterdam was another one of our favorite big cities- that and Munich. There's just soooo much to it. Yes, there's the drugs... the sex... ...and more drugs.... but there's a lot of neat history to it as well.

Internet is really bad! Male staff seemed nice but one of the female staff were horribly rude and continued to type away on her computer even after standing at counter for 2 minutes until i actually said something, and decided i she didnt want to help me out the tiniest bit.

This hostel is close to the amenities of Amsterdam, yet far enough out of the red light district that it doesn't dominate your stay. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms do not have bunk beds, are clean and maximum of 4 people. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean. You can leave your bags in reception for free while you explore the city.
I was actually amazed by the value of this place, especially considering the unreasonable costs added on by the majority of other hostels in the city. They were also able to squeeze me in after I emailed them, only wanting one night.
The only slight snag is that the walls are very thin, so although everyone was very considerate in my, and adjoining rooms, you do hear everyone arriving home and getting ready for bed. However, compared to other places in Amsterdam, this really was kept to a minimum.
I would recommend the International Budget Hostel as a great and reasonably priced place to stay in Amsterdam. Thanks!
