Roy Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 ok - alternatively, what do all think of a day trip w/o the night stop-over ? maybe a very early morning sunday start and a late sunday return ... (maybe not too late for those working monday?) however - keep plugging away boyz and i will as well ... maybe a day trip will encourage more people ie geeza n da lads ..

Roy Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 just my 2p but i think a lot of peeps would prefer the security of knowing where they'll stay coupled with proper parking ... i like the adventourous spirit though .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith C Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I can try contacting someone I know in 'Dam and asking them if there's anywhere decent. What's the budget and numbers I have to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 last i heard about 30-40 pounds per night .... i checked with a few friends in both amsterdam AND rotterdam (shite hole!) and it seems the busy tourist period is doing us in ... let us know how you get on chris ... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Just some observations from my trip. parking is very sparce.. and we parked in an underground carpark which cost 32 euro a day. There is NO way anyone with a low body kit will get on in Amsterdam, a lot of the road side parking that is available is usually accessed by going over raised pavement which is quite steep so expect some scuffs. They have some very steep speed humps too... even the underground carpark had steep ramps. With regard to hotels etc, there are loads of places and you wont find it difficult getting a place. We stayed at the Ibis (right next to the train station - might be a good bet if you guys are willing to share as its easy to find and they'll probably have a fair few rooms available) where a double room cost 130 euros a night and 150 I think for the weekend rate.

Green Peace Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 God that is steep for the IBIS I thought they were budget hotels....I think outa town is the best scenario....with cars locked away in a hotel secure car park being essential....those of us who have ICE installs will not want to leave them in a public car park...THEY WILL DEFINATELY GET BROKEN INTO IN AMSTADAM without a doubt if left anywhere but same goes for parts of London...so no different really. I think we should be looking for somewhere with easy reach of Amstadam by train...Trains are very cheap to use and we can always drive into town cruise round come back to Hotel then go back on train get really stonned and steaming and whatever else grabs you !!!

millhouse Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 there is an IBIS at the airport and you can get a train to town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Yeah Ibis' are usually cheap. Sorta travellodge like. There were about 3 different Ibis places I spotted whilst driving into Amsterdam, but the one we landed was so central it was great.. and remember that room price is divided for 2 people. I think if you're going in a group it would be best to fly over unless you've got your hearts set on the drive. I really dont think you'd wanna be wanting to catch trains in and out of the place at the end of each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
