Euro Weekend B+Bs

Doing a quick weekend blast in a couple of weeks. Need recommendations on B+Bs in Amsterdam, Nurbergring, and Luxumbourg please. Biker friendly and a good brekky essential.
Cheers all

The Bikers Loft is great; real bike culture and some very good bands. But avoid the dorm there; loads of drunks roll in shouting and bawling during the early hours and that's no joke.

I couldn't find stealth camping nearby, and official camping is far away and too expensive. The Loft isn't cheap either.

Handy for Bruges.

If you roll in on a boxy, overlandy bike, expect some sideways looks. It's nearly all sports bike people. But they are OK in the end, once they overcome their "shyness".

Thanks everyone. I found a site through one of the replys, www.MOBIKEHOTEL.com - motorvakantie en fietsvakantie in Europa - de beste motorhotels en fietshotels! . They seem to have biker hotels all over the place.

Thanks again

Yes, but be aware that none of these hotels is special to motorcyclists, and the prices are the same for anyone. There seems to be no advantage for a rider in using this list. And prices of 50-175 euros don't seem attractive?

This site you give a link for doesn't mention the Belgian Bikers' Loft, which is a dedicated biker place, and it doesn't mention the dedicated places for m/cyclists in France. The site gives a list of French hotels which say they are "sympathetic" to riders, but then every hotel is "sympathetic" to clients. No need to restrict yourself to that site, for it leaves out so much.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
