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.

MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was just scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴.
Then I thought: how nice would it be if we shared our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration?
Here's a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi.
I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼.
Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), midweek Athens & coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome☺️).
My intention for 2026 is also to plan more fun days/nights away in the Netherlands.
And I would love to go to Japan solo, but well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉.
Speaking off: happy new week!!
I'd love to daydream about your travel plans.

I have a nice garden and a nice summer day 🖤
March = the month in which my favourite Sunday markets start up again in full swing.
So my Sunday plans are quickly made: stroll along stalls, discover new food trucks and go home with a bag full of organic products or a good vintage find.
What I love about it? Every market has its own vibe.
• @feelgoodmarket for creativity and live music in Eindhoven
• Vintage heaven at @ijhallen
• @sundaymarket with creative makers and food trucks
• Curated vintage & design gems at @cabinetamsterdam
• @fairpricedvintage for scoring vintage clothing at many locations in the Netherlands
Have fun!

If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍.
Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!).
I'll be back soon to try the evening menu as well.
Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace!
And did I mention there's a playground next door?
Have a nice weekend 😘

My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece.
Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river.
My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️
Where should I go next?

YES dears; I'm back from vacation and fully ready for Dutch spring, long lunches and spontaneous dates with my favorite city Amsterdam.
This weekend is packed with fun things to do! From an Italian market in West with @zicami_market, to the @tableware.amsterdam pop-up sale, treasure hunting at the @ijhallen and the @nocknock.art fair. There's something for every day!

Note to self: always leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home.
They've been tested extensively and are all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store).
Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious!

While I'm currently hopping from hotel to hotel and neighborhood to neighborhood in Bangkok (all in the name of “research” and new food hotspots for the new LITTLE BLACK BOOK 😉). Back home, Amsterdam is serving peak weekend vibes.
Think: Dim Sum Sunday in Noord, vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations across the city and a Vietnamese Tết feast at @yen.diningbar. Add market gems like the @le.temps.perdu.brocante pop-up in Oud-West and @themakermarket at De Hallen, and your weekend basically plans itself.
And yes, make time for ARTIS: there are now two elephant calves and they're too cute. 🐘🐘 Instant serotonin incoming, I promise!

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.

Motel One
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. In Amsterdam, the budget design hotel Motel One has no fewer than two locations: one near The Rai and one at WaterloopleinYou can request a crib or extra bed for children up to 11 years old free of charge.
