Looking to stay near Park 118 (within half a km or so) in an area with cafes and coffee shops, near the 3 or 4 tram. Any open-minded (female visitors allowed) 3-star hotels (private toilet; option for double bed; etc.) hotels in this area that are reasonably priced? Some good deals in January in 3-stars near Vondelpark, but that area lacks a coffee-shop scene, has touristy prices for food, and may not be close to trams 3 and 4.

Also, any budget outcall websites that are accurate in case I don't want to go to Park 118 only? I'm happy with 7s in their 30s, being a too-old-to-still-monger guy.

Also, this has probably been debated to death, but are there any prives that are OK still left aside from Park 118?

Thanks.

If you're willing to venture outside of Amsterdam, I know a few prives that can be better than Park 118 (or at least, equal service at a much cheaper price).

Within Amsterdam, Park 118 is still my favourite place to go, and I still find good reasons to go there.

That info would be appreciated, Jimmy, maybe for a day trip---or a stop-by in Amsterdam to pick up weed and hash and head someplace else. From what I understand, only Amsterdam serves tourists weed these days. And yes---I'm sadly on a budget, so cheaper would be great. Thanks.

The three I've visited often enough to speak of are Amersfoort Prive (Amersfoort), Huize Monique (Amersfoort), and Huize Fleur (Apeldoorn). In all cases, a great experience is not guaranteed, but I think the probably is much higher than Amsterdam. DFK and DATY are usually included in the base price (but not BBBW or anal), but this might vary with some girls. Sometimes I'll go without an appointment and make a choice on the spot, but often I'll read reviews on Hookers.nl to get a better idea of what to expect (I do the same for Park 118 also). Here's my take on each:

Amersfoort Prive. €120 for one hour (just went up from €100 a few weeks ago unfortunately). Out of about six girls, my experiences have been a range of decent to outstanding. My tendency over the last couple years is to just visit one girl there now, so maybe I can't speak for most of the current girls there.

Huize Monique: €100 for one hour. Out of about six girls, my experiences have been excellent with one average/disappointing. I usually go here if I want to take a chance without planning to visit a specific girl.

Huize Fleur: €120 for one hour. I haven't been regularly for a few years, but out of about a dozen girls back when I used to visit regularly, it was 90%+ amazing service. The only girl who wasn't amazing still did everything, but there was a language barrier and we didn't really click, so maybe it wasn't really her fault. Like I say though, it's been a while since I went, and there's currently only one girl there who I know.

Anyways, hope that helps. Let me know if you want more info.

Thanks for the tips, Jimmy. Amersfoort seems close to Amsterdam---is there a reasonably priced train from Centraal Station that goes there?--- Amersfoort Prive seems very convenient to reach by foot.

Is English spoken as freely as in Amsterdam? From a tourist perspective (one girl a day is enough for this old monger), is it worth staying a night or two?

The direct trains to Amersfoort take 35 minutes, run every half an hour, and cost €8.60 each way. You can check http://ns.nl to get exact times and any possible delays just before you travel.

Amersfoort Prive is indeed easy to reach from Amersfoort station by foot. In fact, this is how I did my first several visits there.

English is pretty widely spoken across the Netherlands. The only girl I remember meeting who didn't speak English was the one I mentioned in Apeldoorn.

Aside from the prives, there isn't really a whole lot to see or do in Amersfoort as a tourist. Apeldoorn is slightly better in that regard, but neither of these towns are really tourist destinations.

One more thing regarding coffee shops: I've never had issues buying weed in either Apeldoorn or Amersfoort as a foreigner, although it's not something I do very often. Just make sure you have ID on you because they almost always ask for it.

Thanks again, Jimmy---I may make a day trip of it for a change of pace. Last few Amsterdam vacations, I just stayed local and only hit Park 118. Too old for window-girl quickies, too young to go celibate. ;-)

Even when I did a day trip to Antwerp a few years ago, the rain was so heavy that day I didn't bother doing any prive mongering or explore their RLD.
