Bunk Hotel Amsterdam
I talked about this charming place in my guide on Amsterdam. We’ve spent around 360 euros for two (for 3 nights).
Bicycle Amsterdam
If you’re concerned about the environment, head to Bicycle Amsterdam (Van Ostadestraat, 123), a hotel that recycles and uses solar energy, you’re sure to have someone to talk to about modern eco-technology. Simple single, double, or companion rooms, bike rental, Dutch breakfast—all modest but tasteful.
Q-Factory
Q-Factory (Atlantisplein, 1). A newly opened 3-star hippie hotel located in a former industrial building that now houses the local “music factory”—rehearsal points, recording studios, lecture halls, and performance space. There’s a nice café on the first floor.
White Tulip Hostel
If you want to buzz around and get to know Amster from the inside, check out the White Tulip Hostel (Warmoesstraat, 87). You’ll find yourself in the notorious red-light district, with Dam Square and the central station at your side. Don’t be surprised by the noise and take advantage of the bonuses—the Slaínte Irish pub downstairs gives guests a 20% discount.
Cocomama
Stay at Cocomama (Westeinde, 18), and feel free to tell your friends that you spent the night in a former Amsterdam brothel that two Dutch women have turned into a trendy hostel.
