"live" in Amsterdam
by ACoolJeweledMoon about www.citymundo.com
We rented a great space in a canal house and loved it! It didn't cost anymore than a hotel room would have, and we felt like we were living there instead of just tourists. It was definitely the way to go! Another site it simplyamsterdam.com.

Choice of 4 Hotels
by nbeno
My friend gave me a choice of 4 hotels to stay at, we're students on a budget, and wanted to be close to the nightlife, but also close to the museums. Can someone tell me which of these 4 hotels would be best to stay at, we will be in Amsterdam from February 26-28:
1. Keizershof
2. Prinsenhof
3. Museumzicht
4. Wynnobel
Thank you so much
RE: Choice of 4 Hotels

Keizershof:
Website: http://www.hotelkeizershof.nl/
Very small canal house hotel; 4 rooms from Euro 65
5 minutes walking from Rijksmuseum.
Prinsenhof:
Website: http://www.hotelprinsenhof.com/
Somewhat bigger canal house hotel; 10 rooms from Euro 45.
Popular hotel with Internet cafe.
10 minutes walking from the Museums.
Museumzicht:
No website
14 rooms hotel in the museum quarter; outside the city center.
Average price Euro 110.
10 minutes walking from the Museums.
Wynnobel:
No website
12 rooms hotel in the museum quarter; just outside the city center.
Close to the Vondelpark & Leidseplein.
Average price Euro 85.
5 minutes walking from the Museums.
Budgetwise I think of Wynnobel and Keizershof.
On average I prefer Prinsenhof (If the cheaper romms are not booked this will be the best deal).
BTW Carnival is in the same weekend (before you arrive, but there will be some activities going on).

by ginmoll
My husband and 22 year old daughter will be in Amsterday for about 6 days in June/July. I would like a charming (canal?) hotel close to the main attractions. Any ideas? How about renting a flat?
Thanks

hi there. my husband and i have stayed at two small hotels in a'dam and enjoyed them both: hotel estherea and canal house hotel. both were on major canals and both have websites. in fact, i booked both on-line, i believe.
all too often, tourists only visit a'dam and the other large cities in the netherlands. i hope that you all will venture out and see the rural areas and those that have been less touched by commercialism. everything is very accessible by train. have a great trip. gatorgirl :)

gatorgirl, I'm so glad you said this. The Netherlands is much more than just Amsterdam. Indeed, venture outside the western part of the country, visit the little towns and villages. In presenting my country on VT, I concentrate on the lesser known places. The train network is thick, even if you are in Amsterdam for a few days, you can still visit other places too.
Hotel Fantasia

Has anyone stayed in the Hotel Fantasia in Amsterdam?
Is it good?
Re: Hotel Fantasia
by pieter_jan_v
Well, it looks like a small hotel in a centuries old canal house. You have the major Amstredam attractions within walking distance and still have a hotel at a quiet location. The rooms in the attic appear to be very small. Have a look at:
