Family friendly accommodation in Amsterdam
Luxury
Pulitzer
The Pulitzer Amsterdam is one of the most fabulous hotels in the city, and if your budget can stretch to it, there’s a huge amount on offer for families. From interconnected rooms to large family rooms and suites, the experience is enhanced by child-friendly amenities, gardens, and a family-friendly approach in the restaurant. It's a wonderful place that is surprisingly brilliant for kids.
Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht
The Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht is an Alice in Wonderland-inspired residence on one of the city’s most beautiful canals. Suites and large garden-view rooms can accommodate three, and interconnecting rooms are available for larger families. They can arrange babysitting and kids-sized food portions in the restaurant, and they even offer a Very Important Dog programme for furry family members.
The Conservatorium
The Conservatorium Hotel is a seriously high-end place to stay, but families are welcome. Suites can be set up with extra beds or double sofa beds, and wooden cribs are available. Nannies can be arranged, and the hotel can recommend and arrange the city’s best family-friendly activities. The hotel is centrally situated with Museumplein and the leafy Vondelpark on your doorstep.
The Dylan
The beautiful Dylan Hotel has 16 rooms to choose from that can be connected and made into eight family rooms, alongside cots and babysitting services. Don't miss the 'Family Bonding' package, which offers a family breakfast with heaps of pancakes, a choice of family activities, and a movie night with candy, hot chocolate, and popcorn.
Boutique and mid-range
The College Hotel
The fabulous College Hotel is a former school now staffed by hotel management students. Deluxe rooms and Junior Suites can accommodate three, and interconnecting rooms are available for bigger families. Cots and babysitting can be arranged, and children are welcome in the gorgeous lounge. The hotel is perfectly positioned with access to the city centre, leafy Zuid and the buzzing De Pijp neighbourhood.
Hotel V
There are three Hotel Vs in Amsterdam: Hotel V Frederiksplein (Centrum), Hotel V Fizeaustraat (Oost) and Hotel V Nesplein (Centrum). Each are contemporary, stylish and cool. They offer studio apartments, interconnecting rooms and family-friendly food. The Fizeaustraat property is by the Park Frankendael, which is the perfect place for the kidlets to let off steam, whilst the central locations offer direct access to the city's many attractions.
Conscious Hotels
There are four Conscious Hotels in Amsterdam: Conscious Hotel Museum Square (Centrum), Conscious Hotel City (Zuid), Conscious Hotel Westerpark (West), and Conscious Hotel Vondelpark (Zuid). While their ethos is about being sustainable and eco-friendly, they claim to be “more hip than hippy.” Families can stay in their numerous triple rooms or the quadruple room on offer at Museum Square.
Volkshotel
At Volkshotel, you can stay in the vibrant Oost neighbourhood in a former newspaper office. With games on offer, a hugely accessible lobby, and (joy of joys!) a lift, this is a great family-friendly option. With four sleeping spots, including exciting beds hanging from the ceiling for those who like to be on top, the L Rooms offer enough space for a family to sleep.
Affordable
Mercure Hotels
At the Mercure and Novotel hotels, you get the reliability of a 4-star chain alongside family rooms, suites, kids' menus, and playrooms. Located both in the city, in West and by Schiphol airport, the hotels are wholly reliable and easily connected to the rest of the city by public transport. Novotel Amsterdam City is perched on the metro line, making for a convenient and comfortable stay for young holidaymakers.
Ibis Hotels
For an affordable chain hotel, look no further than the range of Ibis hotels in the city: in Amsterdam Centre, City West and Stopera. All offer interconnecting rooms and cots and easy access to the rest of the town with excellent public transport connections. This reliable chain of hotels is undoubtedly one of the city's most affordable and value for money.
