Can anybody on here let me know of hotels they have stayed in on a stag do that cater for stag/hen groups in large numbers in Amsterdam.
Trying to organise a 30 man stag in July and every hotel has turned us down because there are too many of us.
Obviously we can split up a bit but would prefer to be in the same place.
And it has to be a half decent hotel. Ive stayed in the Bulldog hostel on a stag do years ago and I dont really fancy going back.

I think you'll have to split up. A shame really.
Come to think of it it might have been dublin
I always stay in The Victoria when I go there which is opposite the station near Teasers so I might try splitting up between that one and the price hendrik place.
I bet you were in heaven out there!!!

When i went last year, it wasnt as good cos i aint on it like i used to be, and was a bit far off the 'action' so wasnt as good!
Southend, get yourself into that gaucho grill if you can, it was amazing, red meat was amazing proper!
a few of us went over to see arctic monkeys a couple of years ago and we stayed in a really reasonable priced hotel, i'll find out how much and what it was called. it was on the damrak
Yes ive eaten in that Goucho Grill, only food I ate in 4 days if memory serves :)
Any recommendations for 'couple' type thingsh? Any restaurant/bars in particular? The Heineken experience is clearly a musht.
Parties of Drunken English lads celebrating ones last days of freedom are exactaly what the local tourist boards and locals in general do not want at the mo im affraid.
No meaning to burst any bubble mate but also Amsterdam is v expenmsive and as i say dont really welcome stag parties anymore maybe suggest Prague were its cheaper and i her that is the new Stag do capital.
EDIT: Bare in mind all that i have said above is from a locals point of view my Uncle lives just outside the DAM in an estate and this is the impression i get everytime i go since he moved over there. I have spoken to loads of locals from coffe house owners, to Clubs, to bars and normal non smoking cafes and they all say the same. However at the end of the day i dont know why they care as your still spending your money there aren't you.
Also from my point of view hotel wise i would say the Dampkrig persoanlly thats were i styayed before i had family over there is very good. Good food, Good atmos, good rates and they let you smoke werever you like in the hotel. Also all the products sold there are cheaper than anywere else if you pay for a room. Basically if yoou have a room there its cheaper in there.
Quite cheap and very clean...
Try something like Hotel Comparison and you'll find big differences between the cost of places. At the cheap and cheerful end of the market I've used Nadia for football trips, but I don't reckon they'll take more than half of your party. It's also a bit out of the way of what most of the boys will want to do.
Worth checking out what Ajax are doing and the bills at the likes of Paradiso and Melkweg if you can drag them away from the scrubbers for a few hours.
Horribly expensive. If you are going to shell out I'd much rther go to Stockholm or Copenhagen.
Personal fave is Tallin in Estonia. Real mix of medieval and modern. Loads of history, loads of touristy stuff and 100s of good bars/pubs/restuarants and clubs for the evening. Easyjet fly there relatively cheaply.
Also big up to Riga. Can get a bit more of the Amsterdam attraction there if you catch my drift!
Lived there for almost a year so completely disagree with you but life is all about opinions I suppose.
Mortimerican is spot on. Another place you could try is Hotel Winston.
i love the dam always have always will
the dampring, Grouchos, The weird little place that looks like a English train inside by the red light district.
All the mushroom shops, the Cafe's the women
proper place could never last there more than 3 days
Now known as truffles, mushrooms are illegal out there apparently.
