Our room block has expired as some many delegates have booked a room. The hotel has rooms on availability basis only, but they charge day-rates which can go up a high as euro 300 per night.

We kindly recommend you to look for a hotel via http://www.go-amsterdam-hotels.com/landmark.php?lid=796 . The hotel is close to Amstel (railway) Station, which we have indicated as the neighbourhood on the above site.

You have basically two options:

- try to stay close to the hotel and walk, but your choices are limited. Look for hotels with reference to "amsterdam watergraafsmeer, or amsterdam oost", or

- go for a hotel downtown, have probably more choices, then take a morning subway from Central Station to Amstel station (From Amsterdam Central station it takes around 10 minutes by train to Amsterdam Amstel station.
