How much does a shower cost at Schiphol?

The airside cabins in the EF filter are free, but nothing is provided, so pack a towel and toiletries in your hand luggage. YOTELAIR charges €17.50 for a single-use shower cabin (€22.50 for two people) for up to 45 minutes, with towel, shower gel and shampoo included (checked September 2026).

Free cabin, YOTELAIR or a lounge: which should you pick?

Use the free EF filter cabins if you have your own towel and just need to freshen up on a layover. Choose YOTELAIR or the Mercure when you want a clean, private cabin with everything supplied, or a proper nap as well. If you have lounge access via a business ticket or Priority Pass, check whether your lounge has showers before you pay elsewhere.
