4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Amsterdam

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Amsterdam is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. To truly appreciate the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 3 days is recommended. During this budget-friendly trip, you can explore world-renowned museums, enjoy a leisurely bike ride through charming streets, admire stunning architecture, and immerse yourself in the vibrant theatre scene. With the possibility that prices may drop during these months, visitors can enjoy great value for money while discovering the rich culture and history that Amsterdam has to offer.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Amsterdam, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep abreast of flash sales and exclusive promotions, ensuring you don't miss opportunities to save on accommodation. The Smart Shopping feature available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. By staying vigilant, you could be among the first to know about price drops and availability for your preferred hotels.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Amsterdam hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer greater value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, increasing the likelihood that you'll secure a better deal.

Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Amsterdam's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still well linked. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
