Could anyone please help me i am just triying to sort out a spur of the moment trip over but i can not get into my usual hotel the torenzicht . I would really appreciate if anybody could tell me if they no of any other budget hotels in or around the redlight district or in the damrak area.
Thanks in advance
Regards

If it's just budget you're after the Continental on damrak - about opposite the top end of Beurs van Berlage - is cheap. Not a wonderful hotel by any means, but cheap and often has availability.

Try the France Hotel. Very good diggs in a good location and reasonable price. Your best bet is going to the VVV Tourist Information center across from the train station and take advantage of the daily specials.

Thanks to both of you i have emailed the continental and i am waiting for the reply do you no if the france has a website also could you tell me if you no when the VVV Tourist Information center closes of the night

Any one ever stayed at Hotel Neutraal on damrak if so is it any good
Thanks in advance

I've stayed there a few times. Cheap and cheerful but a good last resort. Book there and cancel if you find something better (like the Terminus)..

Try www.bookings.nl.

Try the Hotel Hortus. It is near the Amsterdam Zoo and the botanical garden. Low rates 25 - 35 Euros and I think cash only. They have website.

Ok thanks for the help all of you ive booked at the Neutraal i have heard mixed reports about this place but it is all i can get so i will find out what is like on the weekend i will post a trip report on my return. Once again thanks for the help
Regards

It's immediately above a McDonalds which may or may not suit you..

no rooms at the winston mate? i'd be surprised if not.

dam hotel on damrak is also another which has basic rooms but cleaner than the torenzicht where i've also stayed.

have a top time wherever you end up.

Winston books up weeks in advance at weekends.
