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.

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.
