Amsterdam in May *March*

Posted by Greece x9-dopevRTGEEZ on 2011-12-01 20:05:52
Hello everyone, me and 6-7 friends are going to Amsterdam in the 1st week of May so i'll need some help regarding hostel's/hotels, clubs, coffee-shops and some amazing sites to visit.

We're between these 2 hostels:

1) www.hostelbookers.com/property/index.cfm?fuseaction=propertyDynamic.maps&intpropertyid=33050&
;strArrivalDate=2012-05-09&intNights=5


2) www.hostelbookers.com/property/index.cfm?fuseaction=propertyDynamic.overview&intpropertyid=23598
&strArrivalDate=2012-05-09&intNights=5


but if you have a better/cheaper one please let me know.

you don't want a fucking hotel going to the Dam.

The Globe is a QUALITY hostel. I was there like 3 times or something and it was quality each time

The Globe seems quite good and also is near to everything.
The only negative is that you cant smoke in the rooms..:P but i suppose the same applys for every other hostel/hotel.

Mind telling me how much you paid for your stay ?

we smoked in our room each time. Just smoke by the window, they don't care bro lol.

It was pretty cheap, I think it was like 30 each for like 5 of us or something? I can't remember.. And that was for like 3 days or something

The main coffee shops to visit are Barneys and greenhouse

oh and the food in the globe bro, nothing better than coming back to hostel after a chilled out session across the river in a coffeeshop to buy a big plate of fucking ribs. The Globe <33

Of what I can remember from our trip to Amsterdam, we smoked a lot in route 66 coffee shop. That whole strip has tons of places to go too so finding places isn't too hard. Also there's an awesome shisha place near there too, on the street opposite the globe hostel, we had a lot of fun in there!

Have a good trip :)

key words to understand how the bank-capitalism system works is

bank-loan-rate-benefit (and definetly not for the greek ppl but for the banks)

the goverments blame the greek ppl just to hide the real cause which is the capitalism crysis and not the debt crysis that talking about.

Everything in amsterdam is quality so enjoy!

Stayed at the Rokin and Rho Hotel (run by the same people) in the past, not far from the main station, about 5-10 minutes walk if that - pretty expensive a while back, so expect it to be even more so now. Perhaps try the YHA youth hostel, might be cheap?

Smokeys Coffeeshop was good tbh, also susys saloon for your brekkie around the corner.

Not sure if these places exist anymore though, been 9 years since I've been to the dam, love it!

Enjoy yourself.

well about the coffeeshop, visit the bulldog @ leidse square, thats the most famous coffeeshop of amsterdam and on tuesday evening u have a awesome karaoke show there which is fun for stoned tourists rlly :)

About clubbing, if i was you i would visit the Chupitos Shooter Bar which is 2minutes from leidsesquare. its a shooterbar where shots are not just a shot but a experience. www.facebook.com/ChupitosNL
This is a awesome bar/club to start ur evening before u go clubbing. I go here like 3-4 times a week and its awesomeeee.

For clubbing go to rembrandsquare i think, thats more the place for tourists to go out!
The clubs/bars at leidsesquare is more for the dutch people etcc.

and the 1st hotel is way better, thats just next to leidse square and thats the place to be. the 2nd hotel will cost u 20euro for a taxi everytime ;;)


Some nice attractions to go are; The house of Bols(rly nice for tourists/young ppl) , rijksmuseum, van gogh museum, madame thoussaud.

U can pm my xf for more questions;)


AMSTERDAM IS EXPENSIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As for smoking in the room, a good old air out + cellophane or a plastic bag over smoke detector does the trick ;)
