Where are the cool/hip hotels to stay at for around max 250 euros/night.

Definitely Lloyd Hotel. Bit of an excentric location but in cool redeveloped dockland area. 10-minute bike ride to central Amdam.

what about the dylan?

[Tisswat]

I think the Dylan (formerly called Blakes) is too expensive, considering your budget mentioned earlier.

I agree with Adreas on http://www.lloydhotel.com/. However, coming weekend the hotel is the center of a music festival called B-Oost. So don't expect any quiet and peace there during the this weekend (9-11 sept).

Hotel Jan Luyken

http://www.hotelarena.nl/ (below your budget, but worth mentioning)

http://www.717hotel.nl/ (above your budget, but stunning)

Good luck and remember to let us know where you stayed and how it was.. Have a good one.
