Compare Amsterdam hotels

Amsterdam is a patchwork of unique neighbourhoods all nudging up against one another.

Each area has a buzz all of its own, from the ‘it’ bars of arty Jordaan to the stately mansions of Oud Zuid and the intellectual dens of De Pijp.

If you’re on the hunt for the ideal Amsterdam hotel, the city is bound to offer the perfect fit somewhere.

Hotels in Amsterdam’s city-centre canal belt mean one thing: waking up to waterside views.

Steeped in the atmosphere of the Dutch Golden Age, you’ll find characterful places to stay here, from cosy three-star B&Bs to grand five-star hotels. Family hotels are also in abundance at the water’s edge.

Nothing beats an early morning wander around the canals before the city springs into life and the tourists descend.
