Importantly, please be aware that the public transport and train systems are very efficient in the Netherlands. This means that you can feel comfortable looking for hotels a little further from the venue and then use the metro or tram.
Note also that the venue is just 10-15 min walking distance from the central station (even less in case you decide to rent a bike for the days of the meeting). Should Amsterdam itself not offer what you are looking for, we encourage you to look in the surrounding cities since these can very easily be reached by train. For example Utrecht is an 18-min train ride away; Haarlem is 15 min away, Hilversum and Almere only 20 min. Trains are reliable, frequent and efficient (many Dutch people use them for their daily commute to work) so, even though it may increase your travel time, these places will surely offer considerably cheaper lodging.
Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of fraudulent websites and email promotions claiming to offer registration and accommodation services. Please be advised that payment for your EBBS 2023 attendance can only be processed through this website, within your personal myEBBS area, after you sign up for an account. Also, the EBBS 2023 Organisers have no conventions with any hotels and are in no way responsible for arrangements that you make. Please be aware of possible scams.
