Planning a trip to the Netherlands? Accommodation will likely be your biggest expense, especially if you prefer comfort and style. But don’t worry – savvy travelers have plenty of wallet-friendly alternatives! From charming guesthouse stays to countryside camping adventures, we’ve got the inside scoop on where to rest your head without breaking the bank.
Hotels in the Netherlands
The country’s star-rated hotels offer options for every budget. Most two-star properties start at €70-€80 (breakfast usually included), while three-star comfort begins around €85. Luxury seekers will find four- and five-star hotels starting at €125+. Top tip: Amsterdam hotels cost about 30% more than elsewhere, with rooms scarce year-round – book ahead!
Need a last-minute bed? Tourist offices can arrange same-night bookings for small fee. Three great booking platforms include: Weekendcompany.nl (Dutch/German), Weekendjeweg.nl (Dutch), and the official Holland.com tourism site.
Live Like a Local: Private Rooms
For authentic Dutch experiences at €20-€30/night including breakfast, try private room rentals. Local tourist offices are your golden ticket – they connect visitors with approved homeowners offering spare rooms (often outside city centers). Perfect for travelers wanting more character than standard hotels!
Cyclists’ Secret Weapon
Pedal-powered travelers rejoice! Vrienden op de Fiets (Friends of the Bicycle) offers access to hundreds of Dutch homes for just €19/night (€8 membership required). Imagine waking up in a historic farmhouse or stylish canal house after a home-cooked breakfast feast! Simply call 079 323 8556 or visit vriendenopdefiets.nl 24 hours before arrival.
Hostels: Budget Travel HQ
Stayokay‘s network offers fresh hostel options across 27 Dutch locations. Dorm beds start at €25 (breakfast included), with private rooms from €50. City locations book up fast June-September – reserve early via their website. Pro tip: Join Hostelling International before your trip to avoid extra fees.
Amsterdam and major cities also have vibrant private hostels with similar pricing. Check individual reviews as quality varies widely – we highlight the best options to ensure safe, clean stays.
Sleep Under Dutch Skies
The Netherlands shines for camping enthusiasts! Standard sites cost about €25/pitch plus €3-€5/person, complete with modern facilities. Seek out charming minicampings along country roads – family-run gems with that warm Dutch welcome.
