Ghost. We can fly from Bmth.. If we book > 3 months in advance it'll cost us less than 60quid return.. Sweet..
 
I have to be honest guys.. This should be a Lads' weekend. Leave you're partner at home..
 
What about clubbing??
Heiniken Brewery tour is fun when stoned..
They have a really good comedy club but I can't recall the name.. got it.. Boomchicago (something like that..)

Allready had that written down as one of the BIGguys suggested that.
If it's a large group in total I reckon a part wants to go clubbing but I also reckon a part would rather go to a bar or such...

I checked that one. I don't believe this location has alot of rooms.
I was thinking about this 1 Pen; Hostell

I'm sure it will be fine..... after all mate, you're the one indigenous to the place.

I guess it depends on what you're planning to do. Vondelpark is quite a way out of the centre - We normally didn't stay too far south of DAM Square - but that's because most of the stuff is contained - use  Spuistraat and Waterlooplein as the outer markers.

Isn't most of the stuff you're talking about really localised to the east of Damrak though? Nice to be walkable from the hotel?

Anyway it's been a few years since I've been - we used to go every 6 months when we were clubbers/smokers. Can't even remember the names of the clubs we used to go to - still remember our favourite Coffee Shop though - called Coffee shop 36 at no. 36 Warmoesstraat (looks out over the Damrak Canal). That or Suzie's Saloon (off Dam Square) if you wanted a beer with it!

I can still hear the mantra of "50 F*** or 50 s***" from various parts - well that was Guilders so it must have been a few years back! Can't say I ever took the offer though..

Cheers

Probably even cheaper than that dude. We need to book early and i think ryan air could give us some good deals.

[DuVeL]

As I know how expensive a plane can be, that's why I want to arrange it upfront!

PEN, FYI;
 

 
Just remember; decent shoes, although the way back is probably twice the distance :norty:

[Penfold]

Yeah,




I'm sure it'll be fun whereever the accommodation is. Just wanted to give you a heads-up that the 'entertainment' is severly localised.

long walk - or short tram !

Either way as I said - you're indigenous to the place

I always stay at the Hotel Winston when I go to the Dam. Its close to the station has lots of themed rooms and is on the edge of the red light district.  http://www.winston.nl/  Booking  http://www.st-christophers.co.uk/amsterdam-hostels  Location  http://www.st-christophers.co.uk/amsterdam-hostels/map-to-amsterdam-hostel
