Red face Where to stay in Amsterdam

Can anyone possibly tell me where the best parts of Amsterdam are to stay? I have found a relitively cheap hostel in the red light district (I will be staying with my boyfriend) and I am wondering if it is safe to stay there (especially because I am very interested in the Amsterdam club scene and we probably wont be returning to the hostel till 4 or 5 am.

If this isn't a safe or great place to stay can anyone offer a suggestion abou the area that I should be looking in?

Thanks so much!

Steph

It is very safe. I was around there like 2 years ago and had no problem, even with getting back to the hotel at 5 you should be fine. Hope you have a great time. If you have any question just message me.

it's safe and the red light district is good if you want to explore some clubs.

I agree, I have stayed in the red light district before, a very nice little hostel. It was safe, clean and surprisingly enough not very noisy. It was great because your in the centre of the city where everything happens!

I stayed in the red light area once, and was robbed by a junkie asking for my mobile and cash while pointing a knife at me. It is lively area but also clusters the city's drug addicts and dealers.
Afterwards i have been back in amsterdam on a regular basis, as i love the free spirit the city emits.
My prefered area by far is around leidseplein (bars, clubs and restaurants) with the main musea and vondelpark right there as well.
I can recommand a stay at Hans amsterdam apartment, which has a great bohemian atmosphere
