EuroCheapo review print this page

The Hotel de Gerstekorrel provides 32 affordable two-star rooms on the Dam Straat near the train station. If your main priority is a convenient location, this is a solid pick.

Rooms are basic, with white bedding, colorful pillows, and functional, boring furniture. Private bathrooms sport shiny, clean tiles. Wi-Fi is available on request, and all rooms come with TV and telephones.

From the Gerstekorrel, you can easily reach the bars and shops of the Red Light District and Dam Square.

About the De Gerstekorrel neighborhood

Amsterdam's (in)famous Red Light District is a short walk from Centraal Station and lies within the "Old Center," the oldest part of town. True, the area is home to hundreds of red windows for "women of the night", live sex shows and marijuana peddling coffee shops. But it's hardly a dangerous free-for all. There is a heavy police presence throughout the neighborhood and cameras on many corners.

As night falls, the narrow streets become increasingly crowded (and increasingly noisy) with happy-go-lucky tourists out for a fun night. Perhaps ironically, the Red Light District also boast some traditional attractions, such as the Oude Kerk (The Old Church), cool shops, and many affordable hotels.
