Re: Amsterdam in October There are lots of hotels in Amsterdam, but the rates are depends upon the service. I just returned from Amsterdam just 3 days back and I believe the Hilton hotel is the best option. It is not located centrally but located in a quiet area and very close to the museums and Vondelpark. Access to the central areas by tram is quick and easy. I always prefer this hotel as it is cheap and affordable. Also, I got great value from the executive lounge breakfasts, everything I want and ****tail hour snacks and free drinks.
If you prefer a cheaper 5-star hotel, then you could try the Bilderberg Garden Hotel. Having quiet rooms, but not located really in city centre but in my opinion located in the best part of Amsterdam. Public transport will take you in less then 10 minutes towards the Damsquare.
The Dikker En Thijs Fenice, a lovely hotel which is located in city centre and having friendly staff. Few years back I Stayed there and it was very clean. Easy access to the tram, shopping centre and good restaurants. The attractions are very nearby from this hotel.
The top 10 attractions in Amsterdam are Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk museum, Van Gogh museum, Magere Brug, Begijnhof, Leidseplein, Royal Palace, Vondelpark, Oude Kerk, Maritime museum, Amstelkring, Anne Frank House. And the Nemo (science museum) would also interest you. Having lots of interactive things.
Get there and enjoy your vacation! |
