Going in January, Not been before, any recommended hotels or any that should be avoided. Looking for a clean place in a central location near sights, small room not a problem, as only 2 going and very little time will be spent, just a place to sleep. cheers

When I went we walked across the road from the train station, and got a room at a B&B. While being asked every 50 yards if we wanted to buy any coke.

If money's no object then either Krasnapolsky on Dam Square or the Radisson Central, just outside the Red Light District. Either is stunning

90EUR a night on their website? 
We walked straight out of the station (Amsterdam Centraal) and walked down this way: CLICK ME
On the right hand side there's loads of tourist information places, we went in and asked someone for a place for us (6 of us) to stay. We paid 30 or 35 EUR each (expensive if you add it together but we expected to pay around 25-35 EUR a night each anyway) to get an apartment. Was above a restaurant/cafe called Gusto's. To be fair it wasn't the cleanest but we didn't spend a massive amount of time in there, had a fridge for the beer and was a smoking room - was a 30 second walk from the Red Light District and plenty of café's, bars and a supermarket 
Want to go back really bad - how much did you pay for your flights?
