Best Western Blue Square Hotel Amsterdam

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is quite good, as there is a bus stop right outside. Surrounding the hotel, there are a few restaurants, a grocery store, and a little convenience store. The reception, and the rest of the staff, were fantastic. The hotel is big, and immaculately clean. The dining hall was big, and offered great breakfasts and a buffet dinner. The room was average size, comfortable, and clean. The tour ended in Amsterdam, but I was staying an extra night, and the reception had no problem in giving me the same room in order not to have to check out, then wait two hours to check in again, waiting around with all my luggage. They also had no problem in hiring the taxi service to take me to the airport the next morning at 7AM. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Casa Rosso, the oldest erotic theatre, is said to be ‘the beating heart of the famous Red Light District. It was also the venue at which we saw the optional excursion sex show. Although graphic at times, I found this sex show to be sort of corny. Now, granted, the ‘artists’ usually perform 6 or 7 times a night, so generally, they don’t look all that enthralled in what they are doing. Having said that, some of the acts will raise your eyebrows in surprise, shock, amazement, and even possibly make you squirm, however, it’s all in the name of entertainment. Our price of admission included a couple of drinks that were brought right to us in our seats, which was a theatre setting. The show lasted about an hour for us, as we left before it was over. I know this wouldn’t be everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ but I would recommend it….where else in the world are you going to see a sex show legally?
