Hotel

For our international visitors we arranged reduced rates with the Lloyd hotel. Vondel Hotel also offers good rates as well, which is situated in the city center.

For Amsterdam standards they offer good price/quality. If you require more or less luxury you could try EasyToBook.com, Booking.com or sleep in the Stay Okay Vondel hostel. We might also be able to hook you up with some local couch providers, a great way to make new friends.
