Amsterdam erotic massages on a weekday afternoon

What a hotel floor is doing at two on a Wednesday

Almost nothing, and that is the whole point. The guests who are here for work left at eight and will not be back before six. The guests who are here for pleasure are out in the city, because nobody flies to Amsterdam to sit in a room on a Wednesday afternoon. Housekeeping has usually finished the floor by two and moved on. The lift is empty, the corridor is empty, and the rooms either side of yours are empty. Whatever you imagine is conspicuous about a visitor arriving in the middle of a weekday, the building itself is paying no attention at all.

The shape of a working trip

Business travel produces a very particular kind of free time. It is not an evening, because the evening has a dinner in it that somebody else arranged. It is not a morning, because the morning has the actual work in it. It is the gap: the hours after a session finishes and before everyone reconvenes at seven, when you are back at the hotel with a shirt to change and three hours to lose. Most people spend that gap answering email they could answer on the plane. A booking at two in the afternoon occupies exactly that slot and hands you back to the evening in better condition than the email would have.

Where weekday guests actually are

Two kinds of address dominate the weekday afternoon. One is the business district in the south of the city, where the hotels are new, the rooms are quiet, the walls are thick and the corridors are carpeted; the other is the centre, where a guest with meetings in the morning has booked something with a canal outside the window. Both are inside the ring, so arrival is the same forty to sixty minutes from the moment the booking is agreed. She travels from wherever she lives, which for this roster means Oud-Zuid, the Jordaan, the centre or De Pijp, and the window is quoted wide because weekday traffic is real.

Discretion when colleagues are in the same building

This is the practical worry on a working trip and it deserves a plain answer rather than reassurance. She arrives in street clothes with a small bag and crosses a lobby at ordinary speed. She goes to the lift without stopping at the desk, unless your building asks for visitors to be announced, in which case say so in the thread and it is handled differently. The one thing worth arranging yourself is the timing: the middle of the afternoon is when the building is empty, and half past five, when everybody comes back, is not. If your colleagues are on the same floor, book earlier rather than later.

Notice, and why a weekday is easier

Weekday afternoons are the part of the week with room in them. The evenings are busier, the weekends are busier still, and Tuesday at two is the hour where a request for a particular name is likely to be answered with a yes. That also makes it the sensible slot for anything with moving parts: two therapists, a long block, or a pairing you have booked before. None of that is a promise, since each woman keeps her own hours and the diary is hers, but the arithmetic of the week is real and it works in your favour on a Wednesday.

Choosing a length against a seven o'clock dinner

Almost every weekday booking has a fixed point behind it, and the length should be chosen against that point rather than against enthusiasm. An hour at three leaves you two hours of margin. Ninety minutes at two finishes at half past three and leaves the afternoon still recognisably intact. Three hours starting at four is a booking that quietly cancels your evening, which is fine if you meant it and a problem if you did not. Say the fixed time in the first message and a length will be proposed against it, because that is easier for both sides than discovering the clash at ten to seven.

What to book when the evening still has work in it

Slow oil work and sensual massage leave you loose and awake, which is the state a business dinner wants. Body to body is warm, needs no rinse and finishes cleanly, which suits a room that has to look ordinary by six. Gel and foam formats want a longer afternoon than a weekday usually offers, because the shower is inside the booked hour. Two hours of deep slow work before a dinner where you have to be articulate is the one combination guests regret, and it is worth saying so plainly here rather than afterwards.

The figures and the deposit, on a Tuesday as on any day

One hour with one therapist is 180 euros, ninety minutes 270, two hours 360, three hours 540, and the eight hour block 1,250. A pair working one guest is 360 an hour, a couple sharing a single therapist is 360 an hour, and a couple with a therapist each is 720. The day of the week moves none of it. Half the figure confirms a booking made more than twenty-four hours ahead, an eight hour block, two therapists, a room at Schiphol or an airport hotel, a peak date, three hours or longer, and a first booking with the house. Everything else about the terms sits on the booking page.

If the afternoon collapses at the last minute

Weekday plans move, and a meeting that overruns is not a moral failing. It is also not force majeure, so it is read on the notice scale like any other change: nothing is kept more than twenty-four hours ahead, half of the deposit inside the final day while she has not yet left, and all of it once she is on her way. One move of date is free if the request arrives more than twenty-four hours before the booked time and the new date is within fourteen days. If the meeting is visibly going long at twenty to three, write then rather than at ten past, because before she sets out is where the difference lies. Everyone involved is twenty-one or over, and the contact page says what a first message needs.
