Cheap Hotels in Amsterdam & Amsterdam Hotel Guide

Today I would like to share my experience of staying in Hotel De Roode Leeuw Amsterdam, 4-star hotel. This Amsterdam hotel is a luxurious one and is an ideal place for those travelers who used to a certain level of comfort. Though Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw is not very cheap, it is cheaper than other city center hotels of the same star rating.

The location of Hotel De Roode Leeuw couldn’t be better: in the very heart of the city, right off the Dam Square (main square) and a ten minutes walk to the Central railway station. I suppose that this hotel is a great starting point for shopping, sightseeing (it is located in the historical part of the city), visiting world famous museums. People traveling for some business purposes would find this place convenient for business meetings and conferences. Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw provides the following meeting facilities: copying machine, printer, scanner, fax machine, Internet access and a number of conference rooms. I was attending a conference there and it was properly organized.

There are lots of restaurants around Hotel Amsterdam De Roode Leeuw and the department store nearby, it is worth a look if you want some retail therapy (I went there in the evenings after meetings and had a great time there).

Excursions for the conference members were offered by the conference organizers. Madame Tussauds was almost on the doorstep of the hotel – that was quite amazing. The exposition of wax statues displays the local culture, from old times till today, including the Dutch Royal Family, pop stars, movie stars and so on. It was a relaxing way to spend my leisure time on a rainy day.
