Amsterdam is one of the more expensive cities in Europe, but the Dutch capital does offer a wide range of low-cost hotels. The Venice of the North is always high up on the list for travellers – families, backpackers, couples and stag dos. Though the city is peppered with numerous luxury hotels, there are several affordable, no-frills options too. Like Berlin, London and Copenhagen, Amsterdam has also managed to breathe new life into its former industrial spaces, converting old mills, warehouses and newspaper offices into sleek, inexpensive hotels.
If you are particular about sticking to the city centre, then there are compromises to be made such as smaller rooms and the lack of any canal views. But if location isn’t a priority, then hop on the tram and head east or north, where the former offers a plethora of green spaces and rooftop bars and the latter rewards you with new, sleek rooms overlooking the harbour. Here are the best, affordable hotels in Amsterdam.
