My birthday was Tuesday, so I thought I'd be happy to celebrate my birthday in Dutch style. I went with my boyfriend to Amsterdam. We always go on cheap trips. So we armed ourselves with an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), which offers substantial savings on rail passes, plane tickets, and entrance fees. I just took the train in May from Berlin to Amsterdam. I used the bahn.com website and booked about 2 months in advance. We had a direct Amsterdam train (stops but no changes) I paid 39euro each plus 2euro for seat reservation. I was wondering about the Amsterdam weather and Amsterdam pubs and Amsterdam cafes and amsterdam cheap lodging, that is not a amsterdam hostel. I wanted to spend my days doing historic stuff and nights taking in the "culture" of Amsterdam, smoke marijuana.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Budget Amsterdam Hotel Corner House It is cheap hotel Amsterdam city center. The cost for a double with shower was only 60 Euro per night. It is the best for this price range in the Amsterdam center and it is clean. No breakfast, but they served us a free drink when we arrived. It was cheap simple, clean, and wonderfully located. This Amsterdam budget hotel is open 24h a day so we could do our thing in the city and not worry about a curfew. Cheap Hotel Café Corner House was surrounded by superb Amsterdam restaurant bars and cafes approx 10 min walk from Anne Franks House, right on Dam Square, a 5 min walk from the famous red light area and everything is within reach in a few minutes really. It took us 15 min to walk up from the Amsterdam station with our bags. The drinks in the bar were also cheap.
