Netherlands: Amsterdam cheap, safe room
 

Would like recs for cheap safe room for 2 young women travelling next week to Amsterdam. What areas are best for safety and sightseeing? Thank you

Quantify "cheap" as relates to your budget, please...

My daughter and I stayed in Hotel Kap last September. Was upgraded to a quad when the clerk noticed how jet-lagged I was. Good breakfast. Good rate, IMHO. Real close to public transportation.But she and I chose to walk to most places and had no problems whatsoever.

Have a great time. Oh, BTW, we took a train trip to Brussels one day and totally enjoyed the trip.

I also stayed at Hotel Kap, traveling solo female to Amsterdam for 5 days. It's an nice enough hotel with excellent breakfast included.

For sightseeing I used the "Let's Go Amsterdam" guidebook.

I did not feel a problem with safety in most places, but do keep your eyes open and your wits about you. Several time when I was walking in outlying neighborhoods, I noticed a sudden change of 'atmosphere' when I turned a corner or crossed a bridge.

We stayed at Hotel Acro, very close to the Rikjsmuseum. It was decent for the price, and included breakfast. Also close to Leidsplein - lots of restaurants and nightlife.
