Hotels, B&B’s and Apartments
During the Ocean Dragon course you’ll need to find your own accommodation in the centre of Amsterdam. There will be no main hotel where everyone will be staying. Due to the popularity and high prices of accommodation in Amsterdam, it is advisable to find out who will also be coming to the course, get together and book your apartment together, as soon as possible.
