Hi everyone,
First time poster but ive been reading heaps of stuff on the forums! This site is awesome!
Budget is £50 per night, can maybe stretch a little further! Travelling beginning or december.
I dont want to be too far from the red light district or coffee shops (ive read that central station is the best area to stay in for this)
I dont want to share a bathroom and would like my own room.
Doesnt have to include breakfast but I've read that most do anyway.
a safe in the room would be a bonus!! but as most of you say amsterdam is pretty safe so its not essential.
Size of the room is not a big deal, im planning on not being in there a lot anyway!
Cleanliness is important but i wont freak at a little bit of dirt!
Can anyone help me or suggest a hotel? im all for booking direct with the hotel and getting flight seperately as i know the price will drop further!

Welcome to this site,
I know a hotel that matches your criteria.
Hotel Van Gelder conveniently located on the Damrak, 60 EUR (£52) for a single room, breakfast is 5 EUR extra, only if you take a breakfast. I staid there one night 3 years ago. I didn't hear much noise, since my room didn't give onto the Damrak Avenue, not sure if the same goes for all rooms. The rooms are clean and the hotel seems to be well looked after. My only complain was having to go through so many stairs and corridors before getting into my room.
Just be careful at this range of price (under 50 EUR), mostly scams and ratholes. The terrible stories I read on Trip Advisor would be a perfect script for a horror movie.
