- -Traveling with family is a pleasure on its own. You will experience a reduced amount of nostalgia and all pleasures of sharing your experiences with your kids. Children learn a lot when traveling, visiting historical places and observing different people. Obviously – all Amsterdam nightlife aspects will be not in your family itinerary, but you must also have in mind that staying in crowds, walking on long distances and waiting in line to some museums, might be a little heavy on children, especially small kids. Nevertheless - if you adapt your schedule, make it less crammed and if you foresee the time for kids to play, they will enjoy travel not less than you do.
Here is our choice of the family hotels in Amsterdam. They are all in different price ranges; check our reservation system for the rates.
Banks Mansion (51 rooms)
One of the best in town, Carlton Banks Mansion is not a per se family hotel - just a luxurious four star lodging located at the Herengracht canal, in the old centre of town. As the hotel has been rebuilt a decade ago from a municipal office building, it is essentially modern inside, although classic in its decoration. The canal view double rooms are the best.
Address: Herengracht 519-525

Hotel van Onna (39 rooms)
This is an immaculately clean, budget family hotel in Amsterdam. But if you travel with two or three kids your low cost deal may go sour as Onna charges € 45 per person, so at some moment you might be better off renting a bigger room with an extra bed in a more expensive hotel. Onna is beautifully located at the Bloemgracht canal and its service is spotless.
