Finding a Hotel in Amsterdam on a Budget

There are lots of great places to stay in Amsterdam. It's a beautiful city full of picturesque streets and parks and canals. And if you have a lot of money to spend on your vacation great! You'll have your pick of elegant, world class hotels. However, if you don't have much money to spend on a hotel, but still want to have a pleasant stay in the city, there are some budget options for less-than-wealthy travelers.

Amsterdam Hostels

A hostel is an obvious choice for budget travelers. Perfect for young people and backpackers, hostels offer a bed for the night at the cheapest rate possible. With a hostel, you'll generally get a single bed in a shared room for anywhere from 20 to 40 euros per night. There are all kinds of hostels in Amsterdam, and most of them are located in the Red Light District. If you're looking for a calm, relaxing visit to the city, a hostel is probably not the best choice. If, however, you're looking to experience the city for as little money as possible and want to meet lots of like-minded travelers, a hostel might be a great choice. Flying Pig Hostels are particularly good, and are a lot of fun to stay in.

Small Hotels/Bed and Breakfasts

There are also a lot of smaller hotels and bed and breakfast type establishments throughout Amsterdam. The first thing to think about when considering this type of hotel is its location. Many of the smaller, cheaper hotels are located in the Red Light District. Most of these Red Light District hotels are going to be well, they're going to be less-than-nice. Amsterdam is such a small city that there's no need to stay in the center. Look for a budget hotel in the Museumplein area. There, you can find a clean hotel with a tiiny room, separate bathroom, and cute little breakfast for about 85 euros a night.
