I have booked the Air travel.


I'm at a loss to scan all the posts again so I hope to get some recommendations on a Hotel.

I have the Van Cleve in mind from the 15th to the 25th. It's serious coin.

So if you have other recommendations I would appreciate the information.

Smoke friendly, private bath and I would like a heated pool.

The private bath is the absolute minimum.

Experienced visitors may know whats better/best.


Thanks

Jack

I usually use a web site called easy to book that way I get all the hotel prices in one go.

Glad to read it was useful to you jack forgive the lateness of the reply often stoned and rarely remember where I put my head never mind what I have posted.

I just wonder about the prices of these hotels.. Man this is some expensive room rates and it looks like it's easy to book a dive at high prices.

I guess I'll have to get to know Amsterdam a bit to understand the hotel game better.

Relatively cheap but Amsterdam is expensive for above 3 star hotels

I'm looking at the Park Plaza https://www.parkplaza.com/amsterdamnl_victoria because it seems to be an easy first timers place..

Across for the train, close to most things..

I was reading they charge for breakfast whether you eat it or not.. I guess i can get unused breakfasts removed from my bill. That's odd that there is an extra charge at the rates they are getting for the rooms.

The pool seems to be next door and they charge for it..
Mini bar is expensive.. They demand $400 if you smoke in non smoking rooms/floors as damages.

But mostly the reviews are good.

I'll have a look at where you stayed. I'm not an owner of a "Real Credit card" so I'm doing my best to book something. I've been off the credit grid 15 years now.. I have no credit not bad credit no credit.

That's more the price that would be fair but, they are fully booked a couple nights for my stay.. I'd need to find a place to be two different nights.

I wondered if there were any hotels in a reasonable range. The $300 and $400 a night stuff is off the chart expensive.

Well next trip I will plan better.

Thanks for the tip tho..

What you need to do is a search for 2 star hotels and apartments as they will be in the price range of 50 euro plus or minus a tenner per night. I used to book using a friends debit card but the one I gave the link for I paid cash on arrival and actually same with the apartment. You should be able to do it without a credit card just if you don't get there by check in time you risk losing your booking.

Try doing a search for addrians apartment in the Jordaan that was 70 euro a night but supposed to be non smoking.

Best of luck as you have found booking late at this time of year means a lack of rooms since there is a few events happening in Amsterdam during April. Hopefully someone else wil have more help for you.
