sorry for the lengthy read. but please help if you can. Thanks!
hi all, can some of you please direct me to some "cheap" places to stay in amsterdam? been looking at some hostles, but really want to get a private room if we stay in one.
we are going to be there may 5 and 6 and have been checking out places. not much luck thus far :\
i understand that cheap and good usually don't fall in line, but we will be in europe traveling for 2 weeks on a limited budget,.
as far as the rest of our trip itinerary; it is pretty loose, but we know that we will also be traveling through germany and italy so any help/insight is much appreciated :)

and ps. if you would prefer to email me with any and all info regarding the europe travels rather than typing info into this tiny window, that would also be neat! just send it to my email address in my profile :)
seriously, thank you to all that help!

i've stayed at the Best Western AMS Hotel Terdam. a cheap and cheerful 3 star only a stones throw from the red light district..

haha, I stayed at the Best Western next to the Van Gogh museum, and it was always great - you can stink out the corridors with potent weed that by odor alone can floor older guests, they are very amenable to the 'we're going to stay an extra 5 days, let's negotiate a great deal' type conversations, the night porter is often found behind a cloud of hash smoke at 3am, yet despite this apparant lassez faire, the place is very efficient and clean, the reception staff are brisk and clipper in that way that only 25 yr old Dutch women can be, and you can eat a whole day's worth of food at the extended buffet breakfast...a pre-breakfast joint ensuring maximum eating possibilities...
I found it to be good value, about $70 a night, sharing, which for what you get and where you are is great..
