Local advice
How to get more for your money in Amsterdam
Hotel prices in Amsterdam swing with the calendar. Weekends, spring, summer and big events cost the most. Midweek stays and winter dates, apart from the festive weeks, are usually cheaper.
Value does not have to mean basic. Design hotels often use compact rooms well, put money into the lobby and public spaces, and rely on smart check-in to keep costs down. If you spend most of your day out, a compact room is rarely a problem.
Location is the other lever. A hotel on a tram line a few stops from the centre can cost noticeably less than one on a canal, and you lose very little time.
Before you book
Three things that save money and stress
01
Be flexible with dates
Moving your stay by a day or two, or travelling midweek, can lower the price a lot.
02
Compare rate types
A non-refundable rate is usually cheaper. A flexible rate costs more but lets you change plans.
03
Check what is included
Breakfast, city tax and cleaning fees can change the real price. Check the total before you book.
Plan the rest of your stay
