Bed and breakfast in Amsterdam (logie en ontbijt or L&O) is not necessarily the cheapest accommodation, since the more stylish options cost the same as (or even more than) some hotels. Facilities range from the more basic (but spotlessly clean) functional bedrooms with shared bathrooms and serve-yourself breakfasts, to luxurious ensuite facilities and designer furnishings housed in Golden Age mansions. Most importantly, they offer a wide variety of accommodation and provide additional options in areas of the city not smothered in hotels. B&B portal www.bedandbreakfast.nl lists over 100, including those (rather confusingly) that don't include the breakfast element. City Mundo (www.citymundo.com) is another source of cheaper digs and www.find-an-amsterdam-bed-and-breakfast.nl gives a useful selection with innkeeper recommendations.
