Hello- I'm looking for any suggestions for a hotel in Amsterdam. Would like to be near nightlife but would settle for walking distance if thats a scary part of town! Want to spend $70-$100 a night for room with private bathroom. Thanks

We like The Bridge Hotel (www.thebridgehotel.nl, I think...). We've stayed there on every trip and have always been pleased with it. Our rate has never been more than $90 a night. It's on the corner of Amstel and Prinsengracht. We've always stayed in the same room (#123) which is is quite spacious with views over the river and canal and has a large bathroom. Breakfast is included in the price. It's about a 5 minute walk to the nearest tram and metro stop and about a five minute walk to Waterlooplein.

Hotel Doelen, quiet location at the university end of the old town.

anybody else can help robert?

Been to Amsterdam three times now and my favourite is the Dolen - in the university area which is a very nice area, also close for nightlife.

I stayed at the Hestia Hotel and the rate is between what you are looking for. It os a 5 minute walk to the Leidsplein area - lots of restaurants and bars. You can find their website by searching trough a search engine.
