Registration for the course does not include accommodation. However, Amsterdam has about 350 hotels and B&Bs in the city offering rooms in all price ranges and styles, so securing suitable accommodation should not present a difficulty.

The official Amsterdam Tourist Board website provides all the information you need to plan your trip to Amsterdam and can be found online at http://www.iamsterdam.com/en/visiting.

Hotel accommodation search engines will provide competitive prices, see below for some examples. However, it is often worth checking the hotel’s own website or contacting the hotel directly as they may offer special deals to match or improve on the prices provided by online accommodation services.
