Sarah McClurg and the Wildvines European Tour

... There are bikes everywhere, trams, sex anything stores, the smell of marijuana wafting out the coffee shops, and beautiful canals and cobbled lanes. We loved it immediately. I gave the band my Rick Steves’ walking tour from his Amsterdam book and we saw some neat stuff. We made it from Central Station, down Damrak Street and Damrak Square, to Leidsplein near where our very nice 20 euro each hostel was located. After ...

Dykes and bikes!

... a drink of wine and Belgian beer. After lunch we visited the Holy Blood Chapel where we saw the cylinder that was believed to have been taken on a crusade to Jerusalem in the 12 century and believed to be filled with Jesus' blood. We also had a look at Michaneglo's Madonna - the equivalent of the Mona Lisa at the Lourve in Paris. Brugge's old town was easy to walk around and we spent most of the day having walking. That night we had a few drinks and then went to a bar ...

Amsterdam. We have been here, seen it and done pretty much all of it before so this is the last bit of relaxation before we leave the comfort zone and start travelling for real. Time to get our food stocks ready for Russia and the train and compose ourselves for the real adventure.

This is also the last of the nice hotel bargains that we managed to accumulate in the planning process, after here it is hostels and hostels pretending ...

Let's go for a ride around history shall we?

... the landscape and design, we made our way around town taking in the various points of interest without even breaking a sweat. Most of this city seems practically stacked on top of itself, so in a sense you could probably bike to everywhere you might want or need to be at. While out in the countryside part of the tour, one of my favorite stops was a brewery, conveniently located right next to the working windmill I mentioned earlier. Inside, the bar not only offered some of ...

... other days of the week are, all the timetables list Maandag-Vridag times). Many Dutch words sound similar to the English counterparts, even if the spelling if significantly different. Maybe that is why everyone in Amsterdam spoke perfect English. Often they would just start out speaking English to us and wouldn't bother with the Dutch. We arrived at the campground earlier than we were used to, and decided to just hang out at the campground ...

    Historical Traveler Reviews Falcon Plaza Hotel Amsterdam

    Never again

    from anonymous

    Spent only one night.. and will never again.. no heating.. aww.. yes heating but not in my room.. offered mooore blankets.. dirty.. not cheap..

    Hated it

    from anonymous

    i booked the falcon plaza over the net,i wouldnot stay here again 2 people sharing a room the rooms were to small and dirty,no light in the shower room it was miles from the centre of amsterdam and not in walking distance and the hotel next door looked more inviting.

    Good all round hotel

    from BethsGang

    Just got back with 4 friends following our trip away. Quite anxious about this hotel after reading other reviews on this site, however i couldn't fault the hotel in any way. Not as luxurious as our 3 star hotels at home, but considering the cost i think we got what we paid for. The quad room (rm 406) consisting of 4 proper beds with clean linen, laminate flooring, a powerful shower (worth having the room just for this) and clean bathroom. The staff we met were polite and the receptionist was English. Breakfast was continental and loads of it. Filled up before our day out. Considering we only needed to use the room for sleeping, it was more than adiquate. If we should visit Amsterdam in the future i would not hesitate in using this hotel again.

    This should be classed as one star hotel

    from anonymous

    On arriving at the hotel was dismayed to find it quite a dingy dull hotel and on the website it was stated as a modern and well decorated. The rooms were small and dingy expensive for what they were, you would get at least a 4 star hotel in england for the price we paid for this, in fact the week before in scotland stayed at a macdonald hotel and the price was 90 pounds for 3 nights bed and full scottish breakfast and one evening meal in lovely surrounding with swimming pool gym etc. In the room tea and coffee making facities iron trouser press lovely bright rooms with a lovely bar downstairs everything the Falcon Plazer wasnt, for a lot cheaper. Falcon Plazer advertised a bar but there was no bar the only bar was next door at the Ibis which was a nice bar with nice pleasant happy staff unlike the staff out at Falcon Plazer. 3 shared a room at a cost of 60 euros per person per night i think a bit expensive for what we got. Loved Amsterdam had a ball would go again but not to this hotel

    Stinkotel

    from EARTHLY_PARAGON

    Whoever posted the good reviews must be staff. This hotel should not be allowed to class itself as 3 star. The rooms are small and claustrophobic with no drinking water or teamaking facilities. The bathroom was pokey and smelled of wee wee, its hard to sleep with the aroma of urine constantly up your nostrils. Stayed in many Amsterdam hotels and this has to be the worst by far. To top it all I came in after a great night out on the town at 2 am and I was then asked to settle the bill! I said I would do it in the morning and the chappy on reception became quite insistant, we just ignored him and went to bed. Even worse, a friend who was also staying was getting phone calls from reception at 5 am for the key as it was a fire hazard to keep it in the room, Bizzare! The breakfast was very basic and its presentation did not beg an appetite. I am sure it advertised its own bar, not true the bar belongs to the Ibis which did indeed looked so much nicer. This was a busy weekend for Amsterdam as it was holding a big conference so every hotel was booked up. There was no way we could have got a room anywhere else without the help of the police. Other than that had a great time in such a fantastic city.

    Disgusting hotel!

    from anonymous

    Disgusting, whole room very dirty & unhygenic, bed and bedspread filthy and bathroom too, cannot think of anything nice to say about this hotel, especially as it is next door to an IBIS hotel, that looked so much nicer!

    Do not stay here!

    Plenty of tv channels

    from anonymous

    Stayed here for 3 nights. Was clean except under the bed which was a bit scummy but nothing too upsetting! good bathroom and shower, with lots of towels which were replaced every day. also a tv which had 30 channels of all languages, just in case you can't keep yourself entertained in amsterdam, which i doubt you'd have a problem with. weird decor in the reception/lobby. breakfast was average continental type but plenty of it.

    A good qualitywell priced hotel

    from anonymous

    Roach Motel

    from anonymous

    I have stayed in many European hotels. Some good and some not so good. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms were dingy and dirty. The carpets left our socks BLACK!!The walls had mold & mildew on them. They gave two adults - one bath towel and one face towel. When we asked for another set - it never came.

    We quickly checked out and asked for a refund. The front desk processed our credit but needless to say - it has yet to be processed. I strogly advised whomever rates these hotels to rate this as a NO STAR!!!

    Couldn't stay a night!

    from anonymous

    Never stay at this hotel - its tatty, should be condemned, and the staff were extremely rude.Put simply I would not have let my dog stay in the room I was put in, it hasn't been touched since the 60's and it shows, even the linen had holes in it...When I complained and said I was leaving the staff member on the reception desk told me he didn't have time to deal with me as he was eating his dinner, and turned his back on me to do exactly that!We moved next door to the Ibis straight away...
