Price Insights for Bastion Hotel Amsterdam Airport
- Lowest Price Period: Lowest posted nights are early July (notably 2026-07-05 and 2026-07-12 at €83.32) and multiple midweek dates across late summer, autumn and winter. In general midweek (Mon–Thu) dates are the cheapest.
- Potential Savings: Shifting your stay from weekend/peak dates to midweek low-price dates typically saves about €20–€40 per night (~20–35%) versus the property's typical rate. Avoiding obvious peak days (e.g., 2026-08-21/22, 2026-12-31, and the June 2027 block with €1,194.29 nights) can save anywhere from ~€150 up to €1,100+ per night depending on the spike.
- Average Rate: Typical/representative average is ~€113 per night (median ≈ €113.51). Excluding extreme outliers (the June 2027 €1,194.29 block) nightly rates most commonly fall in the €95–€135 range.
- Booking Tip: Book midweek nights when possible; set a price alert and watch for short-term drops; use a refundable rate if you need flexibility (so you can rebook if prices drop) and consider a non-refundable rate only if it’s substantially cheaper. Avoid the clearly high-demand calendar pockets (late August, New Year’s Eve, early June 2027).
