So, I arrive in Amsterdam on the 16th and leave for the US on the 20th. This gives me 4 nights in Amsterdam, during which time I will be staying at the Hotel Artemis. Here is a photo of the hotel and a link to their web site. Ultimately, I decided to go more upscale on the Amsterdam Hotel because I want to have a comfortable base of operations and a reliable concierge service as I execute my days of tourism.

Upscale is definitely the way to go, if you have the means. Hostels, etc. are not as charming as they were when we were 22, and they weren't that charming then.
ReplyDeleteOne night I blew 100 bucks on nice room in Amsterdam when I was only budgeted for 18 bucks at the hostel, because I couldn't find a room any cheaper. I didn't regret it at all.
