I recently spent a weekend in Amsterdam and Stayed in the two star Amstelzicht Hotel.

We booked it through the web at www.booking.nl, which is a great site that is easy to navigate and gives good deatils on hotels. Booking cannot be taken on line but when I sent them an email they were very prompt in replying and I had no issue at all in reagard to booking the room.

The Hotel is in a great part of town. Its right on the Amstel river and is just behind the Rembrandtplein - one of the major suqres in Amsterdam. We stayed in a "superior" room as there was no standard accomodation left. The building suffer from the same lean and quirky angles that alot of Amsterdam building suffer from, but I cannot fault the hotel in anyway at all.

The room was large and overlooking the canal. To give you an idea of the size it had two 2 seater lounges, a side table, coffee table, TV, huge wardrobe, double bed and Ensuite and room to move around. It was kitted out in quite old but, ornate but funky furniture and even had two chandileers! The bathroom looked newly refurbished and teh shower was great!

We had cable with about 30 channels and a bar fridge that was very reasonable. Breakfast was extra and we decided to eat out around town istead. The front desk is manned 24 hours a day and the staff are very very friendly and have no problems (liek anyone in Amsterdam really ) speaking English.

All this for £66 a night per room - twin share.

Highly recommended - we were never more that 10 -15 mins walk away from anything of interest and had some great pubs and resturants in the area. Right next doot the the "Macho Macho" gay bar if that takes your fancy. Transport no issues - trams all around!
