I am due in AMS for a conference between June 7-9.
From there I am due to travel to Hamburg, first thing on the morning, and from what I have checked, a car is the best way.
So, I am looking for a nice (could be very nice) hotel, from which I will be able to relatively easily go to the conference (Wenckebachweg 210, 1096AS, Amsterdam; near Amstel business park); and which will be in close proximity to a Rent a Car (Avis, Sixt, and sort).
Thank you :-)
think bastion hotel (https://www.bastionhotels.nl/nl) is relatively close by, otherwise check google maps (http://maps.google.nl/maps?hl=nl&client=firefox-a&hs=hfx&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=hotel+spaklerweg+amsterdam&fb=1&gl=nl&hq=hotel&hnear=spaklerweg+amsterdam&ei=mryTS431PIr5-AbX0OiaBg&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQtgMwAA)
Bastion is not recomended.
I know I can Google, but I was asking for a personal recomendation.
I personally never stayed in an Amsterdam hotel but I am sure some of the guys that visited Amsterdam 2 years ago should be able to give you a proper recommendation ^^
Just remember that you're paying top price for a tiny room and won't be too disappointed.
If you're looking for something different then the Botel (http://www.amstelbotel.nl/)can be fun. I've stayed in the Gerstekorrel (http://www.gerstekorrel.com/) which isn't expensive but quite small - however it's right on DAM Square so perfectly located.
I'm sure we've had this conversation here before so search the forum.
