Hello all those reading my post!
I go on with the Hotel InterContinental Amsterdam review.
The hotel is easy to reach by car and it offers excellent parking facilities, the cost is EUR 45.00 per day (expensive compared to other Amsterdam hotels, but you pay for luxury here!)
You will find all possible facilities to relax and exercise in style and comfort – The Health & Fitness centre is equipped with a heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, cold plunge bath, Turkish steam bath and solarium. You can also enjoy massages in a tranquil environment. There is everything to relax your body and soul.
There is also a Business Centre within Amsterdam InterContinental Hotel, which is open 24 hours a day and offers excellent facilities for business meetings and conferences.
A young couple of newly-weds, Marbee’s relatives, spent their honeymoon in this gorgeous hotel. Their guest room was huge and elegant with the river view out of their window from many rooms and had all the facilities that one would desire. Antique furnishings, a wonderful sitting area with a small library, an excellent minibar, DVD player, in room movies, new stereo system – these are just a few out of numerous amenities available in their apartment. The bathroom was very spacious and comfortable. The bed was large, that’s what you need for a good honeymoon!
Throughout the Amstel InterContinental Amsterdam hotel you can enjoy a delicious breakfast: in La Rive restaurant, the Amstel Lounge, at the pool in the Health Club in your own room. Breakfast is not included in the room rate.
Amstel InterContinental Amsterdam hotel is the best hotel in Amsterdam and the best place to any people looking for a special weekend in a special city.
See you!

Hello, friends!
I have been describing only cheap Amsterdam hotels and budget accommodation options in Amsterdam so far keeping in mind my sister’s plans to visit me here in Amsterdam. But these Amsterdam hotel reviews are not only for my sister and her husband, but for all of my friends, acquaintances and even for people whom I don’t know at all – for all those people who consider my posts about Amsterdam hotels useful and worth reading, for all those people coming to Amsterdam on different reasons. And I realize that there are some lucky people who have enough money to afford luxurious 4 and 5 star accommodations when traveling around Europe. There also some other cases when people prefer de-luxe hotels with extra services and amenities, for example, newly-weds on their honeymoon. In order to make their getaway the most romantic event in their lives, they usually decide spend some extra money on their hotel and book luxurious accommodations. I would like to review some of top-end hotels in Amsterdam rated 4 and 5 stars for such special occasions. Thanks to Marbee for the information shared with me.
Amstel InterContinental Amsterdam, a 5-star Amsterdam hotel, is often regarded as the most luxurious hotel in Amsterdam and even in the Netherlands. The Amstel InterContinental Amsterdam ranks with the best hotels in the world. That’s the reason why many celebrities, members of the aristocracy, political leaders and royalty book apartments in this hotel to hide from their eager fans here.
This impressive Amsterdam hotel commands the best location at the banks of the Amstel River. Amstel InterContinental Amsterdam is situated within walking distance from the “Rembrandtplein” and “Theater Carre” on the Amstel River. The exact address of the hotel is: Professor Tulpplein 1, Amsterdam.

Hello everybody!
Let me go on with my overview of Hotel City Garden in Amsterdam, a cheap Amsterdam hotel rated 3-stars with very convenient location.
Two of Marbee’s friends booked the superior double room in City Garden Hotel Amsterdam for their short visit to Amsterdam. This room was described as luxury room for 2 persons and it really was: their apartment was really clean and quite spacious. Comfortable bed with new bed linen invited to have a rest in it. The ensuite shower room was also very nice and there was always hot water. Every day we had fresh sheets and towels. Tea and coffee making facilities were available in their hotel room and they were replenished every day. Other in-room amenities included work desk, radio, alarm clock (or you could use wake up service provided by the hotel staff), hairdryer, telephone, TV set, safety deposit box and heating. The only problem Marbee’s friends faced in their hotel room were the windows, which didn’t close tightly.
On the plus side of Hotel City Garden Amsterdam is free internet in the reception area and the efficient reception staff. Marbee’s friends had a complete support of hotel staff, especially the woman at the reception desk, who was very helpful and always ready to answer their questions; there also was a standard tourist information rack filled with details of Amsterdam’s places of interest and things to do when in Amsterdam.
Breakfast was included in the room rate. It was simple but very edible and the waitress was helpful.
I think that Hotel City Garden in Amsterdam is a good budget Amsterdam hotel. You should definitely consider staying in this cheap hotel if you are in Amsterdam.
See you!

Hello!
I keep my promise and continue describing Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre Amsterdam, a 3-star cheap Amsterdam hotel. The story is shared by Amanda and Brad.
Amanda and Brad’s room in Falcon Plaza Amsterdam was not too spacious but it didn’t matter at all! Usually tourists and visitors coming to Amsterdam don’t waste their time on sitting in their hotel apartments and watching TV or whatever – Amsterdam has so many amazing things to do and places to visit that it is a crime to sit in your hotel room! Views out of their window weren’t picturesque, however, outside noise didn’t disturb them and they always had a good night’s sleep in their apartment.
Their double room was equipped with a toilet, a hot power shower (really great thing!), a colour TV (there were no batteries in the TV remote control, Brad called the staff and the problem was solved quickly), a telephone, radio, an alarm clock, a wardrobe with safe and a dressing table. Coffee and tea making facilities were available as well. Everything was properly arranged. The radiator was too hot, Amanda even burnt her arm.
The entire hotel is non-smoking – good news for those who travel with children. By the way, all hotel staff speak excellent English.
Breakfast was included in their room price; it was basic in terms of choice but perfectly ample to start your day off.
Cutting a long story to a short end, Amanda and Brad enjoyed their stay in Amsterdam Hotel Falcon and they are happy to recommend this cheap Amsterdam hotel in the city center for those who are on budget.
That’s all. Bye!

Hello!
Today I am going to tell you about Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre in Amsterdam, the story is shared by Amanda and Bred.
Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre is a cheap Amsterdam hotel in the center of the capital, an ideal base for tourists who come to see and experience all that Amsterdam has to offer. Hotel Falcon Amsterdam is very popular among the tourists and the hotel is usually full over the weekends and peak seasons, that is why I think it’s wise to take care of booking an apartment in Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre Amsterdam well in advance, which will prevent you from disappointments and scattering around the city as there are usually limited number of cheap places available. So, book your budget Amsterdam hotel beforehand to pay the least and have the best hotel.
Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre Amsterdam enjoys the fantastic location within walking distance to the main centre: close to the “Waterlooplein”, “Rembrandthuis” and the Opera House and City Hall. Dam square and the shopping street “Kalverstraat” are also easily reached on foot. If you don’t want to walk consider taking the tram (you can easily reach all ends of the city by tram in Amsterdam, trams run frequently and are much cheaper than taxis), or a taxi to get to the center. You can see that the surroundings of Hotel Falcon Amsterdam offer sufficient possibilities for the capital guests.
For guests with cars the hotel has private parking, the charge is EUR 28 per day.
Sorry, but I have to go now, so I will go on with Hotel Falcon Plaza Centre Amsterdam review later on. Bye for now!
