Amsterdam Accommodations - Advice Needed

Realizing what you are saying is true.

As for lower group prices; hard to say as April 2016 is not on line yet.

Yes but if you compare to this yrs rates are they less ?

Worse case take the EDEN offer ;)

You have some time to look around but sounds like you have exhausted most of the hotel options in central Amsterdam

Good luck

let us know how it turns out

Burma,

While I initially started this post a while ago looking for information for a trip I have in August, and you hijacked it, lol, I'm a huge trip planner and your request is super intriguing to me. Wow. 45 people and 25 rooms. Two things I've found: a website at hotelplanner dot com, that takes your group request and bids it out to hotels. You put all of your info in the system, including specific needs of the group (elevators, close to center, etc) and hotels respond. There is no fee for this service. I ran a test, plugging in April 13-16, 2016 and so far two hotels have responded with no availability within a few moments. This may only be because the rates aren't out for April 2016 yet and you may need to wait a few more weeks to get accurate replies. There is another service like this with groople dot com. Google group hotel planning and you may find more services such as this.

Another suggestion, and you may have done this already, is to phone the large hotel company's group sales lines directly - not the hotel directly. Focus on European chains vs North American. For example NH hotels has a dedicated group reservation number on their website. The hotels are 3 and 4 stars, well located in Amsterdam and many are moderately priced. Also Accor hotels with the Mercure/Ibis brands. Mercure Arthur Frommer is available for mid April 2016 dates from 170 Usd and ibis Amsterdam center near central station starts at 135 usd.

Did you find a hotel? Now that we are in August there are lots of rooms

available for April:)

I am also sailing in April and recently booked a room....now I don't need

rooms for 45 people:eek: but you should have a lot more access now.

Very kind of you to let me know. Yes we all have rooms booked now; decided not to stay all together; so everyone has booked to their liking.; some in B&B; others downtown and others just outside loop.

I bet everyone is happier this way too;)...picking whatever hotel is

best for each person:)
