from my experience no such places exist it the biggest rip of city in the world sorry cant be more help you might get a cheap place well out of the city itself then get that tram in to town they run a good tram system

The Botels, cheap and chearful find them on net .and they are central

As i also answered in a similar question:

I personally used the Leidse Square hotel last month.

Clean, simple, and decent breakfast included.
Added bonus - right next to the, you guessed, Leidse Square - one of the main areas for leisure in the city.

Also well within easy reach of everything else, via public transport.

At around 40 to 50 euro`s a night, it`s not too expensive.

If you need more info - let me know - you can contact me through my Y!A profile.

While i realise that you ask about the Dam square - you can forget about cheap.

Try the StayOk hotel. They used to be the youth hostels, but are now catering for everyone. Beside the low prices it is also nice to meet people like you from everywhere around the world while you have your breakfast together or your late morning coffee and exchange experiences. If you book in time the 1&2 person rooms are still available. Visit www.stayok.nl, They have an english site.
About transport: as all medieval cities in Europe the centre is pretty small, after all, people had to walk by foot. And even if you have to go to a 20th century part, public transport is always quite often (at least every 15 minutes) until a five minute walking distance to your hotel and cheap (less than 3 usd). The website of the hotel has a direction of how to get their by public transport

try easy to book.com and check out the frisco inn, its cheap considering the location and the fact u get a shower too, im booked in this year, cant wait!! but defo check out that website cos its great!!

good luck & fun travels!!

There is no "cheap" in Amsterdam, they put the prices way up as they know the tourists are mostly there just to smoke dope at the cafes.
