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.

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢
Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3
In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.
Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake
TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.
You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk
I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.
During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.
• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.
· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.
· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.
Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.
• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).
Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

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.

Living with kids is expensive enough, so among all these luxury hotels, I'd also like to recommend a budget-friendly hotel in Amsterdam for kids. Motel One is one of the best child-friendly hotels in Amsterdam for a smaller budget. I've stayed at this chain in Berlin before, and in terms of value for money, it's truly excellent. Especially if you won't be spending much time in your room because you're exploring Amsterdam with the kids.
