    I'm staying with old family friends in Naarden(?) I expect & indeed, intend to use free wifi/whatsapp instead of expensive roaming if/where possible. :)

    Any experienced Amsterdam travelers or locals know much about the Convent Hotel? It's part of the Accor line, looks nice and close to central station. I found a great price through work, and switched my reservation to there instead of a hotel out in the Museum Quarter.

    Seems like it may be easier to get back there after the shows.

    3 coming from Texas into Amsterdam on the 25th looking for a hotel in the Museumplein, if anyone has any suggestions.

    If y'all know the area keep posting for a meetup! We may think about doing a facebook group since logging in might be easier for some of us from America. ?!?!?

    I will also be in Amsterdam with my wife. We arrive on 6/25 and will be going to both AMS shows. Staying at the Grand Hotel Amrath and are looking for info on pre-parties. It sounds like maybe there is one being planned at the Bulldog? Or am I missing something? We're also going to the Main Square Festival in Arras. Looking forward to my first trip to Europe.
