Accomo
dation
Affordable accommodations in Amsterdam book fast. The city is extremely safe at all hours. However, some neighborhoods are quieter or have better transportation options. Unless you’re looking for the party, it’s best to avoid de Wallen (Red Light District), Chinatown or Leidseplein.
A few recommendations are below, but of course don’t hesitate to reach out if you are unsure about a property.
Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam North Riverside - closest major hotel to Pand van Mokum. We have blocked 20 rooms for the weekend. A 15-minute walk or 5 minute cycle ride from the party. Please contact the hotel directly to book and reference X name.
Bob W - the beloved Scandinavian aparthotel chain has opened their Noord Amsterdam location. Reasonably priced and a good option for those who need a little more space and kitchen facilities. A 25-minute walk to Pand van Mokum or an 8-minute cycle.
iHotel - affordable hotel down the street from Pand van Mokum. Good for those who are looking for simplicity on a budget.
Conscious hotel Westerpark - reasonably priced local chain that prioritizes sustainability. The Westerpark location is a 15 minute walk of Centraal station and sits within one of the biggest city parks. Good access to a playground for those with kids.
Hotel Mercer - for those looking for a more central location, this boutique hotel is a hidden gem in the hippy Jordaan neighborhood. Good location for the historic center and public transportation but far enough from the bustle of the Negen Straatjes to sleep well. Great downstairs cocktail bar.
Bridge rooms - for the adventurous travelers looking for an experience, the city of Amsterdam has converted the old houses where bridge keepers slept into rooms for rent. Each one has been renovated with a unique flair.
The Hoxton - if you’re treating yourself, the Hoxton’s Herengracht location is a great bet. Further afield is the 17th-century-turned-lux-hipster escape, De Durgerdam. There is also a Soho House with a good selection of rooms for members visiting from other locations.
Home rentals - the city’s ban on Airbnbs was lifted last year by a local court. However, it remains contentious with ongoing litigation and heavy regulations to combat the housing crisis in Amsterdam. If you book a private apartment from Airbnb or Booking.com, ask the host to confirm the apartment is registered as a holiday rental or bed & breakfast (do not accept short stay registration) and has not exceeded the 30-day cap. It’s the best way to avoid unwanted surprises upon arrival.
