As Amsterdam is the fourth most popular European city (after London, Paris and Rome), it’s busy in summer, and often all the hotels are full. Still, you’ll always find a bed in one of the hostels or the Sleep-In: check ‘Use It’ for current location. The VVV will find you a room for a small fee. Be prepared for hassles from hoteliers, as well as drug pushers at Amsterdam Centraal, trying to fill up their rooms out of season. Check out the prices from VVV to see you are getting the best deal.
Student hostels are open in summer and are fairly lax as long as you look like a student. Hotels are graded on a star basis with breakfast usually included in the price. Fortunately, Holland has plenty of boarding houses and private houses, most of which are very relaxed; these are your best bet. The local tourist offices keep a list and will find you a place for a small commission. Things get busy in July and August in Amsterdam and other tourist centres, so try and get along early.
