Amsterdam South
Tech-forward budget-chic. Think modular design, conceptual art on every surface, self-service kiosks instead of a front desk, and a crowd that's half business traveler, half design-conscious leisure guest.
Ask about early check-in availability — it's free before 2pm if the room is ready
Why It Matters
One of the original citizenM properties and the hotel that helped prove the budget-chic concept actually works at scale. All rooms identical, no wasted space, no pretension — just a genuinely good bed and smart tech at a price that undercuts most Amsterdam competitors of comparable quality.
citizenM Amsterdam South sits in the Zuidas financial district — Amsterdam's glass-and-steel business hub — and proves that stylish doesn't have to mean expensive. Built in 2009 as part of the original citizenM concept, its 215 identical rooms are compact but genuinely clever: XL king beds, wall-to-wall windows, and a tablet that controls absolutely everything from the rain shower temperature to the blackout blinds. The downstairs living room is the social heart of the place, full of art, iMacs, and people nursing something from the 24/7 canteenM bar.
Where You'll Stay
1 room type available
King Room
From USD102 / nightEvery single room at citizenM Amsterdam South is the same — no upgrades, no suite tier, no upsell. Compact but cleverly engineered for two adults. The XL king bed dominates the space in the best way possible, positioned against the wall under wall-to-wall windows. A tablet (the 'mood pad') controls lighting, blackout blinds, room temperature, Chromecast TV, and radio. The bathroom situation divides opinion: shower and toilet sit in two separate transparent glass capsules in the open room, which is fine solo but requires negotiating with a partner. Rainfall shower. Premium linens. Laptop-safe in room. No fridge, no coffee maker in-room (that's what canteenM is for).

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Multiple communal living spaces throughout the ground floor, each with a different ambiance. Features iMac computers, free printing, art books, eclectic design furniture, and power outlets everywhere. Genuinely useful as a co-working space or relaxed lounge — not just a lobby to pass through.
The hotel's curated conceptual art collection is woven into every public space — facades, living rooms, elevators and the meeting room. Works are chosen to convey specific philosophies rather than just decorate. No guided tour, but the art is designed to spark thought and conversation.
citizenM keeps a fleet of bicycles available at no charge for guests. Amsterdam is one of the world's most bike-friendly cities, and riding from the Zuidas to the canal belt or Vondelpark takes under 20 minutes. Just ask at the self-service desk or an ambassador.
One private meeting room on-site for up to 10 people, designed for creative sessions rather than traditional boardroom meetings. Comes equipped with smart TV, AV equipment, writable walls, unlimited coffee, tea and water, and fast Wi-Fi. Ideal location right next to the Amsterdam RAI convention centre and Amsterdam Zuid station.
