Hi, does anyone know any reliable hostels in Amsterdam? -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau@ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "The important thing is that you're alive" - Roxanne
The only one I know of, is http://www.flyingpig.nl/ But I haven't been there so I can't vouch for it! When I was in Amsterdam with a friend a few years ago, we tried getting in a hostel for one night, but everything was fully booked. We entered one of those flying pigs things and it looked rather cozy (lots of young people with all different nationalities hanging around the bar etc). But we couldn't stay there so I couldn't say whether they are reliable or not! Take-home message : book well in advance because we ended up staying in another city (we didn't mind, we didn't really like amsterdam all that much tbh) Sofie Kenny Billiau wrote:

Hey, Last time I was in Amsterdam, I stayed at a camping (how Holland can you go?): http://www.campingzeeburg.nl/index.php?page=home You can rent cheap cabins (really small bungalows with a table and a bunk bed) and it's a short bus ride away from the city center. If you insist on a hostel in the city itself, I'd suggest searching on http://www.hostelworld.com/ Easy bookings and the reviews seem rather trustworthy. enjoy, T. -- ================================================================== Thomas Van Parys Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM thomas.vanparys@psb.vib-ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
