Although many also speak German and French, it is worth noting that in this capital city of Netherlands, it is a tradition that if you are English speaking, then speak English, unless you speak Dutch too because you are more likely to offend than do anyone a favor by trying out your French or German. Note that these Amsterdam apartments allow you to walk about anywhere in the city. Simply Amsterdam At Simply Amsterdam, you are given the choice to stay in an apartment, studio, canal house or even a houseboat if you prefer. All of their accommodations are spacious and there is more privacy and more comfort than a hotel. Speaking of lodgings, it is worthy to note that Amsterdam offers a wide selection of cheap hotels that could provide you the best accommodation and complimentary dining possible. If you want to know even just a few names that top the list, then look no further. Below are the top-rated cheap hotels in Amsterdam where you can enjoy an ultimate vacation experience. The Amsterdam Coffee Shop The term "coffeeshop" was first created by the Dutch habit of running words together, and since its application, it has become synonymous with a special kind of coffee shop. As you may have thought, the Amsterdam coffee shops do sell coffee and have one or more table to sit and drink it, but much to your surprise, the primary commodity in the Amsterdam coffee shops is cannabis, the botanical name for the plant from which marijuana comes. Hotel Arena Amsterdam Situated in the eastern part of Central Amsterdam, the Hotel Arena Amsterdam is just minutes away from the Artis Zoo. It sits proudly behind the Oosterpark and housed in a stunning monumental building. Just like the other mentioned cheap Amsterdam hotels, Hotel Arena offers stylish and comfortable accommodation as well as fantastic entertainment all under one roof. One of those is the fact that all the offbeat attractions of the airport are housed under one roof, with none of the terminal hopping that causes minor panic in transfer passengers or sometimes confuses unwary first time users. Aside from that is the fact that every great things stems from the vast Schiphol Plaza, which is the central hall of this Amsterdam airport.
