Hiring a meeting room in Amsterdam: by the hour or by the half day?
Meeting rooms in Amsterdam are hired by the hour, by the half day (dagdeel: morning or afternoon) or for a full day. For a one- or two-hour meeting the hourly rate is cheapest; from roughly half a day, a half-day booking almost always beats paying hour by hour. Most rooms are in business centres and coworking spaces, and you do not need to be a member to book one.
Hourly, half day or full day: which should you book?
| Length | Rate | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 hours | Hourly | Client meeting, interview, catch-up |
| Morning or afternoon | Half day | Workshop, team meeting, training |
| Full day | Daily | Offsite, course, board meeting |
What size meeting room do you need in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam meeting rooms are listed by number of people rather than square metres. A four-person room is enough for a conversation; for a presentation to 8–12 people, book a board room with a screen. For training sessions, choose a U-shape or theatre layout and add a few spare seats.
What is included when you hire a meeting room?
A meeting room in an Amsterdam business centre usually comes with wifi, a screen or projector, a whiteboard and coffee and tea. Lunch, video-conferencing kit and reception service for guests are often extra. Check whether the quoted price excludes VAT (btw) — business rates in the Netherlands are normally shown without it.
