32 of the best child-friendly hotels in Amsterdam for a kid-friendly city trip

A city trip to Amsterdam is always fun, even with the kids. And if you live in the city like me, there's nothing more fun than staying together in these child-friendly hotels in Amsterdam. My personal tips for a kid-friendly staycation! Enjoy a day of shopping, visiting museums, strolling along the canals, taking a boat trip, going to a playground, and eating bitterballen together. There's plenty to do with kids in Amsterdam. I've often been asked which hotels in Amsterdam are the most child-friendly, so it was time to create this (fairly) comprehensive overview for you. Because let's be honest, when you're traveling with children, you tend to pay more attention to things when booking a hotel. With a baby, you can go almost anywhere with a crib in the room, but with older children, you sometimes need that little bit extra. So read on for the best child-friendly hotels in Amsterdam.

HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on luggage with passport to an old lady who doesn't realize this and checks the luggage on a flight to the UK!

Now I'm stuck here in NY without a passport, and I missed my flight.

I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅.

This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢

Note to self: it's better to carry your passport all day, instead of leaving it "safely" in the hotel, apparently... and from now on, attach suitcases with cables in the storage room. Even if you're staying in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still done by humans.

Now I'm stuck in one of the world's coolest cities, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel, as planned. 😔

To be continued 🧳✈️

And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How cool is this? There are places in the Netherlands where you can cut down your own Christmas tree! You don't hear about it very often, even though it's quite common in America (where I'm currently!).

Good to know: some of these places in the Netherlands are only open for a few days a year and you have to reserve a time slot.

This time we went to @williams.farmhouse, one of my favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is it also fun during the day with kids?

We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success.

Happy child, happy us... and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean, this interior makes me dream of the Cotswolds again!

Do you have a favorite 𝗸𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 in Amsterdam or the Netherlands?

When Manuel was still a baby, I often stayed here myself, and everything was perfectly arranged. Both a crib for children up to 2 years old and an extra bed for children up to 12 years old can be added to your room free of charge. Enter your child's age in your search to see exactly what options are available. Lotti's is the hotel's on-site restaurant. There's also a bar, so don't forget your baby monitor and treat yourself to a cocktail, I'd say.

Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam

I often get asked about budget hotels to stay with kids. And as you may have already seen in this list, most of the really nice hotels aren't the cheapest. That's why this list includes the (still relatively new) Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam That's a far cry from the image you once had of this chain. Except for the schnitzels, that is… they're definitely the same and still on the menu. Thanks to the large number of family rooms, it's definitely a kid-friendly hotel in Amsterdam, and also more budget-friendly. The interior is modern and looks really nice, as does the restaurant. There's also a spa and a swimming pool. There are double and triple rooms, as well as family suites with bunk beds. A child's dream! The hotel has an à la carte restaurant with something for everyone. The hotel is located near Amstelpark, where there's a fun playground for kids and a wide range of activities. The kid-friendly 'museum' is also a must-see. The Upside Down is not far from the hotel where you can immerse yourself in different rooms full of illusions and take fun photos together.
