Getting the stink out of linen and a room from Smokables can be quite difficult. Requiring deep cleans etc of carpets, which costs money and time, as well as keeping a room out of bookings. This is quite common in most places though.
A couple of times I got a hotel room where the previous occupant had smoked. Gross even though they tried to ‘clean’ it up with some sort of ‘scent’. I won’t stay in there. If the hotel has no clean room i all to be booked into a different property. $150 is not nearly enough as a penalty.
I didnt a give a fuck about the no smoke rule when i went there in spring. It was so awesome to just sit outside in the lovely spring weather without a single worry about crazy people harassing me about the quite fine joint in my hand.
Edit : I mean i didnt mind the rule and always went out to smoke.
“Smoking costs €150”
Definitely the funniest when/if confusion I’ve ever seen!
Honestly, it seems like it would be better to pay the 150 than to tamper with the smoke detector. (Not that’s I’m advocating for this or anything)
in Vegas it’s $1000 USD and they claim they have “advanced detection”, whatever that means (it’s not very effective).
Isn‘t any penalty for „when you do it anyway“?
Smokin in these type of establishments hasn’t been allowed for 10 years now
Just smoke in the hotel room’s bath room, which does not have a smoke detector. Works like a charm and I never had to pay anything additional.
Probably it’s not intentional, Dutch people confuse when/if very often in English
*its audience
it’s = it is or it has https://www.grammarly.com/blog/its-vs-its/
I use to love Amsterdam but now it’s a dump
Thank God for edibles !!
*its
Not with grams. That’s something to die for. Easier to say it that way to.looks like salt but isn’t.
smoker’s residue is the worst
But you can cum everywhere for no extra fee

I went to Amsterdam this year and the hotel had a sick little garden in the middle and he said “you can smoke what you want in there, we don’t mind” and I really appreciated that
We didn’t realise you couldn’t smoke while walking about for the first day or two. We didn’t have any issues during that time. I think it’s just common sense to not smoke anything in a building regardless of the country
I used to stay in the American (as it was then) in A’dam quite a lot and it was not unusual to find previous residents’ left over weed stashed in various obvious hiding places, such as the lamp holders.
Ah progress…
Never got that just go outside to smoke 😂 other drugs I dount they’ll be able to check let’s be honest
Danny Brown says to put the popcorn in the microwave, set it to 15 min, and we’re smoking all night. That whole floor is gonna smell like burnt popcorn.
I don’t get why you wouldn’t just smoke on the balcony where the smell won’t stick to the room and the detectors won’t fire up, or if your room doesn’t have a balcony go to a public park and chill, it’s Amsterdam…

This is just a translation error between if / when which is pretty common in Dutch and German.
​
It is funny nonetheless.
Well, it may well know it’s audience, but the sign is almost certainly not that, and instead is probably a result of the ol’ language barrier.
In English, using either “if” or “when” is enough to tell the audience what type of unreal thing you are talking about. (One where the thing might happen, but you can’t say how likely [if], and the other one where you believe it’s going to happen [when]).
In Germanic languages however, this is not typically how those two ideas are expressed (outside of technical/formal contexts maybe). We just love to use the same word (and it happens to be the “when” one), and then let the audience figure out what we mean from context or from other parts of the sentence.
When In Amsterdam Snoop Dog rents a houseboat so he does not have to deal with these hotel rules.
I’ve never understood this. Just go for a walk outside like a normal person and smoke. I’m the highest pothead ever but even I can just go for a walk outside so I don’t bother other people.
This is pretty much everywhere now… It’s not about moral grandstanding but instead because that s*** stinks and it is hard to get that smell out of the furniture.
I’ve stayed at that exact hotel. Really nice place. I appreciate the fact that movin’ on up is played in the lifts, which gave me the giggles after getting some *coughs* “coffee” from the local coffee shops.
Fun fact, that building was originally the factory that made the Aero chocolate bars.
So rich people get a smoking permit?
Tourist at the front desk…
*… but … it’s Amsterdam…*
I vaped all day in my hotel room, no problems! Get off the cigs and onto the vapes you filthy fellow smokers
Ha, I live across the canal from this hotel 😂
Why would anyone go to Amsterdam and not do drugs?
If you’re looking for a cheaper penalty, in Ibis is just 100€.
Dude, smoke your joint like a civilized person. On a park bench behind a parole office on the bad side of town.
My Dutch is pretty minimal but the German word for “if” sounds like the English word “when”, so Germans speaking English often say “when” when they mean “if”. I’m guessing Dutch has the same issue.
This is almost certainly just an error in translation.
Fun thing I learned when I was in Amsterdam is that the hotels are exponentially more expensive on the weekends than during the week. Because they know drug tourists fly in for the weekend and party it up and then go back to work on Monday.
Wtf is the point of going to a hotel in Amsterdam where you can’t use drugs?? Next, they’ll say no prostitutes…
The tone of language they used is so casual though. You can’t expect the typical type of tourists there to take it seriously.
EZ. Exhale into bathroom exhaust vent. Assuming pot. If tobacco just fuck off entirely that shit infects anything forever
