2 star Amsterdam hotels (Netherlands)

The city is small, so there are few bad places to stay in Amsterdam and almost all Amsterdam hotels are within walking distance from the main attractions. That said, there are plenty of tourists arriving to this compact city, so accommodation does book up very fast. It's always advisable to book well in advance if you want to take your pick from the best places. Many of the luxury hotels in Amsterdam have rooms within spectacular buildings. The Hotel Pulitzer, for example, is made from 25 restored 17th and 18th century canal houses. At the other end of the scale, there are some charming hotels and hostels for travellers on a budget. Old houses in the centre of town have often converted their rooms to youth hostel accommodation.
