Hotel Estheréa is a really great hotel on the Singel canal - a very good location, in such a compact city you can walk pretty much anywhere from here.
The rooms aren't huge but are well decorated and have very comfortable beds. The ensuite was spacious. Throughout the day in the lobby you can help yourself to tea, coffee and hot chocolate as well as fruit and, on a less healthy but far more addictive note, toffees. These can be enjoyed whilst relaxing in the grandly decorated library and lounge areas, also with canal views.
Breakfast is an extra, and at 14 euros isn't cheap, but the buffet is good and sets you up for the day. Alternatively there are plenty of sandwich shops, delis etc along the Singel or just a few minutes walk away. It is also well placed for restaurants in the evening.
The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the central station, you may want to take the tram if you have more luggage, but you can easily make it with a bag for the weekend.
Overall, Estheréa is definitely a good choice and played a big part in my enjoyment of the weekend I spent in Amsterdam.

It's so important to book tickets in advance! There is very little chance that you'll get a place on a trip otherwise. The audio facility available is brilliant, it really makes the tour mean something.

Built in the Victorian times, it's fairly obvious that the Corn Exchange was the centre of the corn trade in Leeds. Now it is home to lots of small independent shops and shouldn't be missed by any visitors to the city. The beautiful domed roof can be admired from the around the top level of shops or from a cafe table right at the bottom.

To really get a feel for the Californian surfing lifestyle, spend a week at Ocean Beach, the epitome of laid back cool. A small beach community populated by artists, surfers, families, hippies and bikers alike, it isn't unusual to see a man walking his iguana down the main street to the beach.
