Amsterdam accommodation
Houseboats in Amsterdam can be ideal for a group
If you’ve yet to visit Amsterdam, there are a few things about booking accommodation here that you may not be aware of. First off, Amsterdam hotels tend to have really small rooms, especially on the budget end of things. If you have traveled elsewhere in Europe before this won’t be nearly as surprising, but for those who mostly have experience in North America, it can be shocking when you first open the door to your budget hotel room to find the whole thing only two to three times the size of a bed that also seems smaller than you expected.
If you are shopping for a 3-star or above hotel you’ll likely be choosing between places that were built more recently, and the rooms will be a bit larger, although you’ll be paying a minimum of €100 or so, and the area will still be too cramped for socializing among more than the people who are staying in the room.

Vote for your favorite hostel in Amsterdam!
You know how it is, all the descriptions of the hostels and hotels on the internet look similar and make all the places sound awesome. And then you check in to the one you booked only to find that it’s nowhere near the city center, or right next to the deafening commuter train tracks. Or maybe the staff is so rude that it takes all your strength not to punch them in the face.
