Try contacting, Hotel Piet Hein - Amsterdam, directly.
(Cebtrally located, about $80 - $100 USD per night)

Hotel Hampshire Waterland - Purmerend.
North of Amsterdam by about 20 minutes.
It's a golf hotel, and a bit out of the way, but 4-star rating with great reviews and very reasonable price ($60 - $80).

Try cornerhouse hotel cafe. No frills, but good reviews.
(Centrally located $ = ???, but cheap!)

This is some great info. Thanks Stbck and Woodman...

I have been considering the exact same question, but for some reason, I never even thought to just ask this community! I did find out that the quest for decent housing and travel advisors is surprisingly difficult to understand. Especially for the person who is a first-time traveler... you never know what you're getting into.

thanks again! -RS

There is a really good cheap hostel right in the centre of 'dam called The Meeting Point Hostel. Only costs $20 or so a night, has a 24hr bar, is 10mins from the central station, 5mins from Dam Square, one street across from the Red Light District and has a bitch load of shroom shops and coffee shops on the same street. I've stayed there twice now and really recommend it for cheapness and great location.

Rippledstar, are you even going to acknowledge your own thread?

There's a really good cheap hotel called The Avenue. It's up the main street opposite central train station. Nice rooms for the price. And you can smoke in the rooms. I think me & the wife paid about £65 per night for a double room.

If you are looking for REALLY cheap hotels and are on a bit of a budget, go to Raadhuisstraat (just around the corner from dam sqaure). There are rows upon rows of VERY cheap hotels. These are usually around 20 euros a night, and include a TV, shower and breakfast.

Be prepared to negotiate the usual stairs of death though
