Anyone tried www.bookings.nl?
 

Found the hotel I want for a rate I like, but, want to hear about people's experiences with this site.

I want to make sure the hotel will have my reservation as well as my request (more than just a request, since Im paying for it) for a canal view room in Amsterdam.

FYI - in case this matters - its the Hotel Estherea.

Thanks!

I used bookings.org to reserve a hotel in Brugge last year with no problems.

A question I had was answered promptly, and everything was as presented.

Wanda,
I used bookings.nl last time I went to Amsterdam and had a good experience with the site. About three weeks before my departure, I booked a stay at the Doelen for about $130 per night. Two days prior to my departure, I looked up the Doelen on the bookings.nl site again and found that they were offering rooms at $90 during the dates of my stay. I cancelled the first reservation and made a new one to take advantage of the lower rate (and a bigger room at the lower rate, I might add!). No problems at all doing this.
FYI, some hotels do offer a "last minute rate" on bookings.nl, some don't.
The Estherea has a very good reputation and is in a very convenient part of the Canal Ring neighborhood.

I used them to request reservations (some hotels don't book online,they respond to an email from bookings.nl), cancelled one and booked another, all with no problems.

Thanks all, now I am worry-free. Thanks for the last minute tip, I will look into that!
Im so psyched!

We're thinking of trying Bookings.nl...
Is it possible to get details about the accomodations before booking - size of bed, floor, view, etc? Thanks for any input.

I don't see those questions being answered by the booking site, but after you make a reservation, you could contact the hotel directly to ask your questions. Check for the hotel's and website's cancellation policies first.
