    Hotels are pretty expensive in Amsterdam.

    I think even the cheap chains such as Ibis will set you back around €90 a night. However, I wouldn't go lower than this as the cheaper places are pretty dreadful. Due to some strange tax law related to the width of the building facade, older buildings are very narrow, don't have elevators and thus have very steep staircases. I once stayed in a cheapish hotel for around €60 a night - the room was the very top of the building (5 flights of near vertical stairs) and had very low roof beams. It was fairly clean and all we really needed was the bed and hot water, but the next time I visit I'll be spending some extra cash on a decent hotel.

    Accomodation will be the most expensive part of your trip. Food and drink is high quality and relatively cheap compared to Ireland.

    try http://www.hotel-theglobe.nl/ [hostel] its located in the center of the red light district, its cheap,clean and basic. There are 2 other hotels i stayed in but i cant remember the names ill let you know if i think of them.
    things to do:
    -Dam square at night
    -Heineken tour
    -Boat tour
    -madame tussauds


    [anne frank house is crap]

    when you get board of them go to the blue bird and get a big bag of sensa star or diesel
    also go to electric dreams and get some mexican shrooms [best for your first time] and if you have some money left get a nice dutch prostitute

    get some really good music and possible catch a gig
