Amsterdam has a variety of accommodation options for tourists and visiting families. There are small, low-cost inns for single tourists or those on a budget, or large luxury hotels for large groups and those seeking top-class service. Student accommodations are a bit scarce, as the University of Amsterdam does not offer in-campus residences. However, the International Office is willing to help students find a place to stay near the University.
