Hotel	Price & Booking Info
Hotel Ibis Stopera A very comfortable three-star hotel near Waterlooplein in central Amsterdam. Ajax USA members stayed at the Ibis Stopera on our first group trip to Amsterdam in 2001, and it's still my personal favorite. But it's definitely more expensive than the other one.	Single: €112-122 per day; Double: €12 extra per day. Does not include breakfast. Ibis Stopera usually offers the lower (midweek) rate for those booking longer stays. Book via their website or by calling the hotel directly. The manager is Mr Paul van Ommen. Tel : (+31)20-531-9135 / Fax : (+31)20-531-9145

Hotel Hortus - Location A very basic one-star hotel, just a notch above a youth hostel (no private rooms, some rooms have no private bathroom, etc. But we love it! It's the unofficial hotel of Ajax USA! Social, affordable, well located and extremely Ajax-friendly. The excellent common room (with a pool table, a TV with ESPN & Sky Sports, free Internet access and a beer-stocked vending machine) usually serves as our meeting place. (Due to the open social activities, we don't recommend the Hortus for travelers with small children.) It's a block from the metro, and very close to Waterlooplein and the Red Light district. Plantage Parklaan 8, 1018 SR Amsterdam	No Single rooms. Doubles & Twins: 50 Euros. Rooms with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 beds available. Prices equate to 25 Euros per person/bed (except for private room).
