Hotels in Amsterdam - Prices and Reviews

The trip was supposed to be a family reunion, (I invited everybody & some people were planning/thinking of going) but when it was time to go-- nobody other than my son Kristof could definiely do the trip with me. So here we are---a cool, funny young dude and his silly mom roaming around the Netherlands checking out the local flavor---.

Customs was a breeze. They had us hand our passports to a guy, no checking our luggage, no even picking up our checked luggage before passing through. No worries. Finding the hotel was an adventure as always. First I took a tram into downtown from the airport. Then I took a second tram, which is located a little ways outside the station that I w...

Not enchanted by Amsterdam left heading to see Yves and Popaye Heinrich in France. Train to Luxembourg,

We went to Amsterdam! FOR FREE! wow, i love our government. Even if we had been flying for 10 hours, we weren't going to let that get in the way of enjoying our time in Amsterdam. When we finally reached the airport to leave DC, people started freaking out. "oh **** guys were going to Africa...were going to the desert!" could often be heard by m...

We're headed by modern highway to Amsterdam, but hit some traffic in the process. Along the highway are small villages and scattered windmills, canals and cows. It's congested getting into Amsterdam. Since we did not stay here the first night, I'm anxious to see some of it. Our lovely hotel for two night is the Pulitzer. A very beautiful propert...

In 2004 I knew I really loved Kelly. Of course, I had been telling her that I did for the bulk of the past year. Had I been lying? No, I wasn't lying. I loved her, but I wasn't sure then, as I am now, that we would be together for life. We arrived in Europe for a proper twenty something backpacking trip. We followed familiar paths through Wester...

I was definatley not prepared for the weather conditions that awaited me when I arrived in Amsterdam. When I left Centraal Station, it began snowing. I was in a new city and intending on taking my time and leisurely walking along to gain my bearings and eventually make it to my hotel. Instead I hopped the tram and ran furiously down the street t...

Our drive up to Amsterdam was long (nearly 6 hours) but uneventful. Driving on the German Autobahn is an amazing experience... where else can you cruise at 90+ mph and still have other cars whizzing by you as if you're standing still? It's such a rush - we're hoping that the EU initiative to enforce a speed limit on the Autobahn will not get pas...

Hi all, Steve and I are back home in Amsterdam. It's very relaxing to know you don't have a ton of things you really want to see. The weather here is of course cool and cloudy with rain off and on. It makes up happy that we take the advice of our favorite travel writer and "if you can pack one coat, make it a rain coat". Dam square doesn't even ...

On this day, I was back at the Shelter City Youth hostel, where I went to a bible study the staff led and met a new friend, Laura. We instantly connected and spoke in English and Spanish together. We went out that night to a party that was going on at the local YWAM base and talked for hours. AMsterdam was breathtaking that night, especially in ...
