i'm looking for some recommendations. preferably with high speed internet...

thanks :glugglug

Swiss hotel.. you can't go wrong :)

this place? http://www.swissotel.com/hotel-guide-europe.asp

do they have high speed internet (doesn't look like they mention it)?...

thanks

Hang on a sec, I'll give 'em a call and ask

Yep, they do.
LAN cable access in every room, 25 Euros per day.
When are you coming to A'dam?

cheers man!

i'm not entirely sure yet, it sort of depends on my brother's schedule. i was hoping to head up over New Years...

whoa, New Year in Amsterdam is totally mindboggling. Seems like quite a few GFY'ers are gonna be here...we should all meet up :)

definitely :)

Go to priceline.com and get a Marriott room.

There are two Marriotts in Amsterdam

Actually, now that I think about it, I could arrange some sort of venue for everyone coming, perhaps we can turn it into a small-scale networking event. If anyone else is interested I could organise something.

i waited till the last minute and there wasnt much to chose from. i found this hotel suite with 3 beds for $275eur, thats where im staying.

Sheraton Hotel Pulitzer

That's a good hotel, in a very nice neighbourhood. Depends on what you want, though, the Swissotel is slap bang in the center, very noisy/busy outside. Bestwestern is much quieter, but close enough to the center. Heh, Amsterdam's so small that everything is close to the center, actually :)

umm, won't you be retired and sitting on the porch of an old folks home cursing at the kids who drive by after this Oct?

hmm, no places left at the swiss hotel.

I'll phone around if you want and find out, if you give me a time-frame.

look up The Grand Hotel
Also Krasnopolsy
2 top hotels in the heart of Amsterdam

i'll have to talk to my bro (probably next week) to know for sure.

cheers :)

OK, let me know :)
One usually gets results faster on the phone, and from arranging hotel rooms for people lately I've discovered that many of these sites aren't updated often enough...you think there's a vacancy and it turns out to be fully booked, or vice versa.

:thumbsup - Stayed there in November during the AOE show. My only suggestion would be to go bigger than the "executive" suite as those are kind of small and hard to move around in.

I've never had any problems booking through www.accomline.com

Try it out :thumbsup

Swissotel definitely. It's right in the middle of everything. If you're driving at all - make sure you don't park in the garage across the street though, it's ultra expensive...ask them where the cheap parking is. It's up the street a ways.
