Brighton

Visiting soon and have been booked in at the Amsterdam. I looked at website and it mentioned thay have a sauna room but males only and when I checked out events one was 'lesbian speed dating' Have nothing against homosexuals but would just like it confirmed is this a hotel for gays?

read the reviews here. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186 273-d211128-Reviews-Amsterdam_Hotel-Brighton_E ast_Sussex_England.html

it seems it advertises itself as a gay hotel but a few posts show that it is welcoming of all

looks like its in a great spot on seafront

more good reviews than bad so I guess that is good. So how do you think they will take 8 girls staying

We have a Gay Grndson,so are (despite our age) quite Au Fait with the Gay Scene.
He says that (despite never having stayed at the Amsterdam himself) he has heard only good reports of it.
Gay guys are very female friendly,so problems there.
The only slight problem might be that the Amsterdam can have quite a few Lesbian guests,who (you being female) might come on to you.
You only have to make it clear you are str8 and I feel sure they will back off.
At least having a Gay/Lesbian atmosphere you will have fun,unlike some of the fuddy duddy hotels in Brighton.

[Mr Veritas]

PS:~
It's NOT a Gay/Lesbian ONLY hotel,but that is the predominant clientele.

Wouldnt bother me if they did come on to me. No different than a bloke coming onto me, dont need to say I;m straight I will just say I am already taken. :-)

... and point to your seven lady friends, 4get. They will probably suggest you all have a nice little party.

It's estimated that one in three of Brighton's adult male population (and a slightly smaller percentage of women) are gay. In some parts of the city (particularly around Kemp Town, where many of the hotels and guest houses are located) the gay community are very much in the majority.

So almost any hotel in Brighton is quite likely to be run by a gay couple or to have plenty of gay guests. If 8 girls book together the proprietors won't make any assumptions, either way, about their sexuality. They'll just be regarded as more guests to be welcomed to the UK's most vibrant city outside of London.
