    When I worked there I used to head out to Scheveningen and find a B&B. Lots of good pubs and restaurants and a
    multi-screen cinema too. At this time of year I expect it will be busy, it being seaside and all, but it is only a short ride on the bus back into town so worth the short commute IMHO.

      Don't rule out the wider area, including Amsterdam, in the search for somewhere good within your budget. Dutch public transport, especially rail, makes good old British public transport seem positively antiquated in standards.

      Last time I worked in that area (2005) I managed to negotiate about a 40% reduction in room rate at one of the larger hotels (can't remember the name but can remember the unheated pool). It's worth putting out feelers to the hotels as they're often far more willing to negotiate than the British standard.

        Am flexible on the area as I know the commute will be reasonable.

        I would prefer a solid base rather than a hotel as I don't want to be lugging stuff home every weekend.

        I'm moving over there permanently so just need summat that can tide me over till I find a decent rental for Mr N, the NorPusses and myself.

        If there's any websites or companies that anyone has used that would be useful, have googled a few but there's nowt much about.

            also search using Den Haag.
