Not meaning to sound catty but from the experience I have had trying to find a place ~ starting in December ~ you should have already had the reservations!!! <BR> <BR>But, having said that, you can try the Hotel Prinsenhof, we will be staying there in 7 days. The mgt. worked with us & were very nice. <BR> <BR>http://www.hotelprinsenhof.com/hotel/map/showroom.html <BR> <BR>Good luck! <BR> <BR> <BR>

A'dam DOES fill up fast. Here's a site that will give you availability. Not every hotel is on it and I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. You could get the info there and then contact the hotel directly if you prefer. <BR> <BR>http://www.bookings.nl/ <BR> <BR>I did a 2 & 3 star search and most of the hotels are at the airport. If you widen the search to 4 & 5 star there are some options fairly close in.

There is a Hotel Janson that seems to have some avaiolability and is just beyond the center near the Museums. <BR> <BR>After that the best location vs. price is Swissotel. They are running a weekend special of about 240 euro per night. They are right on the Dam. <BR> <BR>Good luck! We were in A'dam in March and loved it

We just returned Sun from Amsterdam. We had reservations for several months at the Acro (email: [email protected]). The hotel is in a great location--a couple of blocks from the Rijksmuseum and Leideseplein. <BR> <BR>The rooms were tiny but spotless and very well appointed (double bed, color tv w/remote, hairdryer in bathroom). We paid about $78/night. <BR> <BR>This hotel was listed in Frommer's Little Book of Budget Hotels 2001. We would stay there again. <BR> <BR>Sandy

We stayed at the Owl Hotel in September 2000. It is near Vondelpark and a few blocks walk from the Leidesplein. It was easy to book online. <BR>http://www.owl-hotel.demon.nl/index.html

We always stay at The Bridge (www.thebridgehotel.nl, I think) on Amstel near the Skinny Bridge and have never paid more than $90 or so a night, including breakfast. Also check with Amsterdam House (they have a website) about rentals - they have good rates. Good luck finding a place and have a great week-end!

I have stayed at the Westropa and liked it. Its small inexpensive and includes a good dutch breakfast with the room. The staff is also very friendly. The hotel is near the Leidseplein. The hotel is inexpensive and very clean! <BR> <BR>http://www.westropa.demon.nl/ <BR> <BR>
