I happen to be a board member in a little society for space freaks at the university I'm in and we've arranged a little trip to ESTEC and other similar places in the Netherlands. Not only am I a board member, I'm responsible for finding a place (or several places) for 21 people to stay two nights (3rd to 5th of April makes two nights) close to Nordwiijk, Leiden or Amsterdam. I've looked up a couple of hostels in Amsterdam that serve breakfast and I sent them an E-Mail each for booking information. They're a little slow to reply (one did, telling me they were full-booked while another site said there were some beds left, wonderful) and I'm getting a bit nervous...
I figured, since there are quite a few people from the Netherlands around here, I thought I'd ask for some general advice Anybody got some?
not small (435 rooms), it's near Amsterdam, and easy to reach. You didn't tell which hotels you already tried though..
But you might like to stay further away from Amsterdam (I would), say, Leiden, or Utrecht (which is almost in the middle of the Netherlands, so you can go everywhere from there).
Woah, thanks a bunch! But the stuff you listed seems to be hotels, not hoStels.
To be more specific, we're going to places close to Nordwiijk and Leiden and it has to be _cheap_. I currently got in contact with St. Christophers in Amsterdam, I don't know yet how many beds they got.
EDIT: I've tried hostelworld, I used a similar site to search for hostels in Amsterdam and I've contacted four by E-Mail (got two replies by now). Still, I appreciate any advice!
Wow... King Harold, you just Google Earthed my parents' house About 3 centimeters from the arrow . You could've taken the screenshot with north pointing upwards though
I'm back and the room was alright, not the best place but atleast all 21 could sleep in the same room Some place in Utrecht, quite a bit from Delft/Katwijk/Leiden where we were actually going.
