Hotel V Frederiksplein

A stay in ever-popular Amsterdam doesn't always come cheap, but pick your hotel with care and there are bargains to be found, even in top neighbourhoods like Amsterdam Centrum and the Canal Belt. That said, many of the best value hotels in Amsterdam are in areas like De Pijp and Westerpark, a bit more distant from the historic centre. Our hotel experts have scoured the city to bring you a concise collection of Amsterdam's best value stays selected on their design, location, amenities and (of course) price tag. Find plenty to choose from whether you are looking for a hip base to work and play from or you're travelling with the family. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?
