Want to avoid last-minute ATM runs. Do most hostels in Netherlands take card payments at check-in
booked everything online and paid the rest with Mastercard at check-in in Leiden. No cash needed. But I did keep like €20 just in case their machine ever went offline.
My hostel in Haarlem accepted card, but they charged a small 2% surcharge. Not a big deal, but I wasn’t expecting it. Still better than finding an ATM late at night.
in most big cities ya, cards are totally fine. i stayed in utrecht and used my revolut card to pay the balance. just double check if they charge a card fee, some small hostels do that.
Yes, most do. I stayed at a hostel in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, both accepted my Visa debit without issue. Paid at check-in, and they even offered contactless. No need for cash there
