Creative spaces in Amsterdam, bookable by the hour
Setspce is a curated marketplace for creative production spaces in Amsterdam. Photographers, producers, DJs, podcasters and dancers book the hours they need; hosts keep control of their own space, price and calendar.
Which kind of space do you need?
Every listing on Setspce belongs to a category, so you can search by what you actually need instead of scrolling through generic venue listings.
- Photo and video sets — seamless backdrops, lighting, changing space.
- Daylight studios — large windows for natural-light shoots.
- Music studios and rehearsal rooms — treated rooms, monitors, backline.
- DJ and performance spaces — booth, sound system, room to record a set.
- Podcast studios — mics, mixer, quiet acoustics.
- Art studios and dance studios — floor space, mirrors, sprung floors.
How booking by the hour works
Setspce is a marketplace: independent hosts list their space, you book the hours you need. There is no membership and no minimum commitment beyond the host's own minimum booking length.
- Pick your date and the hours you need — most spaces start at one or two hours.
- Send a request; the host approves or declines it. Nothing is charged until it is accepted.
- Pay securely in the platform. The address and access instructions unlock once your booking is confirmed.
- Add-on services (engineer, lighting kit, extra gear) can be added by the host and are priced per booking.
What does it cost?
Hosts set their own hourly rate, so prices differ per space, size and equipment. The price you see on a listing is the price you pay per hour: it already includes the Setspce service fee. Individuals see prices including 21% Dutch VAT; business accounts see net prices and VAT is added at checkout so it can be reclaimed. Longer bookings can carry a host-set discount, and a €1.50 booking protection fee applies per booking.
