Cheap Hotels In Amsterdam: Common Questions

Modern budget hotel room with two single beds and a small desk under a window
How Much Tourist Tax Do You Pay?

Amsterdam charges 12.5% of the overnight price before VAT, and the same rate applies to hostels, hotels, apartments and campsites. The host collects it from you and pays the city.

Which Months Have The Cheapest Beds?

The cheapest beds in the roster sit in Zuid and Noord hostels, while Centrum and Schiphol listings run higher. The area pages group every stay by district.

Where Are The Lowest Prices?

Noord, Oost and Zaandam listings undercut Centrum on price, at the cost of a longer ride into the old centre. The neighbourhood pages group stays by district so you can weigh the trade-off.

Is There A Minimum Age For Hostels?

Each property sets its own policy. Train Lodge and Hotel2Stay offer family rooms, while many dorm buildings take adults only, so read the listing before you book.

Do Hostels Offer Private Rooms?

Yes. Flying Pig Downtown, ClinkNOORD, Generator Amsterdam and Hans Brinker all list private rooms alongside dorms.

How Do You Reach The Centre From Outlying Stays?

Centrum hostels such as Stayokay Stadsdoelen sit within easy walking distance of Amsterdam Centraal. Noord is a short free ferry across the IJ, Nieuw-West runs on metro and tram, and Zaandam connects by train.
