Suprash Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Earth, Clair cant make it as she works on Saturdays, so Im trying to blag a mate, as I dont fancy driving on my own, would ideally like to drive over with another car, as you know what my directions can be like, and abroad, I'll probably end up in the south of France.

Earthrokka Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 I am struggling to find a hotel ..bugger.. can any of u guys try from yer side (like the company´s travel agent or yer favorite secretary etc..) see if u can find us somink near the centre. Budget preferably 40 squid max- per person .. should get us nice rooms.

Ash good idea.. go for it mate. Roy... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget preferably 40 squid max- per person .. should get us nice rooms. The only 4Star or 5Star ones in Central Amsterdam I can find on the net are £75 to £80 per person per night (2 nights, right?) We don't want to be in some flea-pit 20kms from amsterdam do we. I know it's just somewhere to crash at the end of the day but for the extra 25 bucks I'd prefer somewhere without sticky carpet. Opinions? Anyone else want to try to find something better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Totally agree.. i am working on this place called the Belfort check it out on the net.. looks ok judging by the photos.. at 1 km from the centre. better for the cars though.. with car prking facility etc.. 36 squid per night .. read the independent report on it that says .."it is an acceptable place, nothing fancy but ok to be in" so just awaiting their confirmation..the payment had to be up front so if they accept we gonna have to go with it. However, i agree when u say a sticky carpet place.. I checked most of the big ones with offeres written all over ´em, as soon as u start checking the availability .. they either have nothing on the dates required or the price changes (to the double usually).

I'd say go for that if they'll have us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I'm happy enough to pay for my own single, I don't think I'm bringing anybody along (though I might ask my housemate, he won't be interested in the car bit, but the Amsterdam bit might appeal). Whatever hotel is booked I'll do. Rokka, I'll post you a cheque tomorrow (I think it's your address I've been given). I've only been to Amsterdam for work, and stayed in the Amsterdam Central hotel, was 5 star and about 280 euros a night (probably a tad too much for us ) -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Boyz .. I need help for deffo .. couldnt get the rooms.

pulse Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I'd say aim for about 60 quid (90-100 euros) a night? But I'm easy with whatever comes. I'll have a look what I can find tonight, but the only travel agency I've used aside from STA I think went bust.. Will see what I can find on the web. -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthrokka Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 hey.. Sounds good, now that there is few of us on the case we should come up with something. Yeah 60 squid is about right .. but some 2 star hotel charge that in the Dam anyway ..so check it first if they have photos on the web. The 1 i had sort of pre booked was ok @ 3 star 72 squid per twin room is a good 1 they decided to bump us off.. may be they had some bad experience in the past with some hooliganz.. Cheers lads for sending the cheques but i´m in Mexico ..i wouldn´t know til the 06/09..sorry.. thats why i ´m having trouble booking / phoning etc..

Roy Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 doesn't seem to be much avaliable ? especially in that price range and location... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I've had a look at a few places, and tried calling two that looked promising. The website said 110 euros a night, but when I called to ask about a booking they told me 200! The other told me late October/early November for that many rooms, so I guess it's not a very big hotel.. Uuuuuhrm... anybody? Save this trip if you can! -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 if it comes to naught - what does everyone think of maybe spending the night outside the central area ie dam platz, leidseplein etc ........maybe a few smaller places avalilable to would look at group discounts and maybe even safer parking ? just a thought guys ....

Earthrokka Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 There are few clean places at 5 10 KM so plz if u see one boyz go for it .. i think its better for the cars ..
