 Amsterdam Hotels Guide

---

Whether you are visiting Amsterdam for a vacation, a business trip or a layover, you’ll have many hotels to choose from.

Amsterdam itself has some 370 hotels, and there are an additional 200 or so in the metropolitan region.

But the city is often faced with a shortage or potential shortage of hotel beds during peak periods. It really pays to plan ahead and book your accomodation early.

Hotels in Amsterdam range from Budget/Youth Hostels and Bed-And-Breakfast places to Boutique- and Luxury Hotels.

There are a few places you’ll want to stay away from. One of the benefits of booking a hotel in Amsterdam via Booking.com is that you can see what previous guests thought of the place.

Amsterdam city center or suburbs?

While many tourists prefer to stay in a hotel in the center of Amsterdam, the city’s excellent public transport system makes staying in the suburbs or even in the metropolitan area a viable option.

One popular, inexpensive place to stay is the ‘Amstel Botel‘ — a hotel on board of a converted river cruiser. While it’s moored in Amsterdam-North, a short (and free) ferry ride across the river IJ — Amsterdam’s waterfront — brings you to Amsterdam Central Station in about 10 minutes.

More expensive, but very popular indeed, is the upscale Mövenpick Hotel — which aside from having amazing views of both the city and the IJ — is Green Globe certified for its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.
