yeah, the first time I went with my lady - she insisted on staying somewhere nice - we were in the amrath...that's pricey haha...free mini bar tho and was filled up daily..
Geert Wilders is a great man, but his hair is greater.
His followers shout :
Haar van Wilders U-Akbar !
( Wilder's hair is greater )
Perhaps best to keep politics out of travel data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
looks nice, and not that far from Leidsplein too... that area rocks of a friday night - especially during the warmer months with buskers etc...
Easily walkable to anywhere data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Just have a nice stop at one of the many bars for a drink; Nutricia Chocomelk met slagroom (yup that words makes my wife giggle).
I've stayed in that one , you did the right thing about upgrading the room , the room we had was tiny lol , for what the trams cost I would think about using them
Cool, other than that was the hotel good?
Also is Amsterdam an English speaking city? As opposed to Paris where they look at you like you just farted if you speak English!
Yeah it was fine , nothing flash but by far from the worst I have stayed in !!, close to a tram stop, which is well worth using believe me !!, As for English , you may as well be in England , you won't have any issues there , how long you going for ?
the only issue with amsterdam is what I would call tourist tax - as if you go in some small shops for food etc - there's no prices on them and I'm sure they just make the prices up...went into one corner shop and got charged about 7 euros for some mints and chewing gum... then went into some bakers and this really stoned guy got charged 15 euros for some waffles and cream..I just walked out when I heard the price..!
5 nights. Arrive on a Sunday around 6pm but will be pretty tired that day after just landing back from Canada.
Head home again on Friday afternoon.
