just came back from a week in amsterdam to check out some shows. had a great time, beautiful town, the hotel was right in thr red light district. i didn't realize this when i booked it, but figured i should stay with it. it was a very nice hotel, small rooms, as i learned that most around there are, except maybe for the bigger chain hotels. i was by myself, so i had a single, and the room was a little tight, but as long as i had a bed, and tv, i was fine. private shower, very clean, they gave me clean towel and soap every day. nice people working there, though sometimes they seem busy, and don't like being asked too many questions, but it's pretty much like that every where there. they were still patient, and gave me my envelope where i kept my passport and money in their safe any time, though they asked to do it before 10 at night. you have a key, so you can go in and out of the hotel anytime, but i wou;dn't recomend staying there alone, because the junkies can be very annoying. no serious probs, but still very annoying, so personally when i go there again, i would prob stay in another area, but for a cheaper stay, nice hotel, i would recommend this place.
