What is the best area to stay in Amsterdam with family?
There are several good areas to stay in Amsterdam. Here we highlight some of the best for families.
- Centrum (The Old Centre): the city centre is a good choice for an Amsterdam family holiday if you want to be within walking distance of all the main attractions and close to a good choice of restaurants.
- Grachtengordel & Gratchengordel-West: if you are hoping to stay in an Amsterdam canal hotel, then these quiet canalside streets to the west of Centrum offer the quintessential Amsterdam experience. Here you will also find plenty of restaurants and cafes in the vicinity.

Top tips for booking family accommodation in Amsterdam
- Many Amsterdam hotels have lots of steep stairs to contend with, and due to planning permission issues, older canal houses particularly do not have elevators. If you are travelling with a stroller, be sure to check ahead. Newer build properties are more likely to have elevator access.
- Look out for great Amsterdam hotel deals on higher-end properties during off-season.
- Amsterdam is a renowned party town, attracting “hen” and “stag” parties (bachelor/bachelorette) from across Europe. Choose where to stay in Amsterdam with family wisely or be prepared that you may be sharing your corridor with a rowdy crowd.
- Compare rates on hotelscombined.com before you book as Amsterdam hotel prices can vary between booking companies.
