Advantages: Friendly family run canalside b+b cheapest in Amsterdam Disadvantages: If there are, I haven't found any
My mother and I have been coming here for the last three years. We have just booked to go in June this year. It is the ONLY hotel that we would consider staying at in Amsterdam because of it's beautfiul location, it's friendly staff and it has the cheapest tariff after hostels.
THE LOCATION
The Prinsenhof is located on the Prinsengracht which is the prettiest of all the canals in Amsterdam by far. You can request rooms that overlook the canal, as we have always done and waking up to a view like that is sensational. It is easy to find, although not in the very centre of the city.

The gardens span some 25 hectares and if you are anything like me, they will fill as much time as you have to spare and then some.
People with bad knees or small children be warned though - it's pretty steep and you may struggle a bit! There are some mobility scooters available though. I came here ...
"In Africa there are no murders, only regrettable deaths."
The Constant Gardener is an adaptation of a John Le Carre novel, a thrilling adventure of immense social relevance which highlights commercial exploitation and political corruption in Africa, whilst simultaneously celebrating the astounding beauty of the landscape, culture and people. The political focus of this movie is cleverly interwoven with the struggle of a British diplomat to discover the truth behind his wife's murder, to learn who she really was, and to realise a greater love and trust in her than he ever had when she was alive.
