Hotels in Amsterdam
Whether you are after glitzy luxury with every conceivable amenity, a cozy townhouse hotel, family-friendly facilities, or bare-bones bed and board that frees up hard-earned cash for party purposes, Amsterdam will have just the right accommodation for you.
The city’s becoming more and more of a business destination, so deals midweek are few and far between. That doesn't mean you're likely to pick up better rates on the weekends though, especially in high season (the city has become hugely popular with tourists). Best rates are available between November and March, with the notable exception of the Christmas and New Year periods of course.

Bicycle Hotel Amsterdam
Homey and basic, the Bicycle Hotel is fiercely proud of its sustainable ethos; it is powered by solar heat, has a “green” roof, and uses recycled furniture wherever possible. The miniscule bedrooms are no great shakes in terms of luxury but are spotlessly clean; be warned, however,…$De Pijp - Hotel
