The Smart Winter Solution (October–March)

Finding affordable housing in Amsterdam is a huge challenge for many. With waiting times for social housing in 2026 averaging well over 10–12 years, and a private rental market where studios easily reach €1,800 to €2,200 per month (excluding bills), the pressure is high.

For anyone looking for a temporary solution between October and the end of March, our location in Amsterdam West/Sloterdijk offers a unique alternative: fully serviced design studios for a fixed monthly rate—without the complexity of a standard rental contract.

Why Choose a Monthly Stay?

Unlike regular hotels, where nightly prices fluctuate based on events in the city, we offer a fixed long-stay rate (minimum 30 days). It’s not only more affordable, but it also gives you the certainty of your own “home base” in the city.

Cost Comparison: Long-Stay vs. Standard Options

When you compare the cost of a monthly stay with the regular market in Amsterdam West, the advantage becomes clear:

Type of Stay	Average Monthly Cost (2026)	Additional Costs
Regular Hotel (nightly rate)	€4,500–€6,000	None (but highly variable)
Private-Sector Studio	€1,850–€2,300	Gas/Water/Electricity, Internet, Municipal Taxes
Social Housing	€850–€950	10+ years waiting time
Our Winter Hub (Amsterdam West)	€2,000	Includes Utilities (G/W/E) & High-Speed Wi-Fi

Note: Our rates exclude 12.5% tourist tax but include all facilities expected from a modern living concept.

The Location: Urban Living in Sloterdijk

Our partner location in Amsterdam West is known for its creative energy and excellent connectivity. The studios are designed with a focus on style and functionality—ideal for digital nomads, expats, or students looking for a temporary base.

• Accessibility: Within walking distance of Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station. Amsterdam Central Station is just 5 minutes away.
• Community: Access to shared spaces where you can meet other residents, a communal kitchen for proper cooking, and inviting areas to work.
• Convenience: Weekly room cleaning and no hassle arranging utilities or internet.

Who Is the Winter Hub For?

This concept is specifically designed for stays of at least one month during the period from 1 October to 31 March. It’s the ideal solution for:

1. Expats bridging their first months in the Netherlands.
2. Students studying a semester in Amsterdam or still waiting for a permanent room.
3. Young professionals who want to explore the city without being tied to a one-year contract.
