Barcelona - Accommodation
It was not until the Olympic Games in 1992 that a real explosion in accommodation facilities took place. The cheapest way to spend the night is bring your tent and stay at one of the campsites. However, most of them are locates at some distance from Barcelona. For more comfortable accommodation you can go to one of the youth hostels, pensions or hotels. It might be a wise idea to book a bed or room in advance to save you the hassle of finding an appropriate room at the end of the day.
HINT: Unless you don’t stay in one of the bigger hotels that offer a breakfest buffet, it is recommended to take a room without breakfest and take one in the many cafés which offer milk coffee (cafe con leche or cafe amb llet) and croissant for 1,5 - 2 .

In the expensive category we have tried only to mention those who are actually worth that extra amount of money.
Amsterdam - Accommodation
Amsterdam has a large variety of hotels. From the luxurious Amstel Hotel to the small boat hotels to the run down places in the red light district. For the cheapies, check out the region around the Warmeostraat, although some youth hostels are a little further afield. Try to book a place before you arrive because it can be very hard to find place during the summer and during most other seasons also.
We have put the places to stay in four categories. Probably the cheapest way to stay in Amsterdam is camping, but this obviously not for all. The
