any ideas on lodging for 2 days while in amsterdam that is in the town center thanks

Firstly Amsterdam is in the Netherlands not Denmark.

Have you searched the forum to see what has been suggested earlier?

Can you give us a budget? Time of year?

One thing I like about Amsterdam is all the houseboat rentals available. We rented one on our last trip to the city and liked it a lot.
Here is a site that has a lot of listings for houseboats: http://www.houseboathotel.nl/

Was in Amsterdam two weeks ago and stayed at the Rho Hotel. Three star rated, a few steps from Dam Square, clean, quiet, friendly staff, good free breakfast including eggs and bacon and a 5 minute walk from cental station. Rooms typically small European. Check out web site, www.rhohotel.com

Try the Owl Hotel. http://www.owl-hotel.nl/gb/

I love this place. It's on a quiet street about 3 minutes to the Leidesplein and 5-7 minutes to the Museumplein.

This is a very affordable hotel for the quality offered.

Trolleys available everywhere. Nice accomodations including breakfast.
