Where to Sleep in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Other Dutch Cities

Before departure, the question arises “Where to sleep in the Netherlands?” The answer is simple: luxury hotels and no-frills guesthouses; farm stays and campsites; B&Bs in private homes, castles, manor houses, windmills, and characteristic boats, which charmingly christen the “boat&breakfast” formula.

The Dutch accommodation offer is nothing short of babelic, suitable for all tastes and budgets. In major cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, where there is also strong business and conference tourism, you will find hotels from the most famous international hotel chains; in smaller centers and fishing villages, local chains and family-run establishments prevail.

Comfortable, generally clean, welcoming, and informal are the B&Bs, a precious place to familiarize yourself with the locals and discover their little daily habits, feeling a bit less like strangers. In cities like Amsterdam, those overlooking the canals or near the floating flower market are very romantic, and easy to reach by bicycle, which can be rented or freely provided by the owners.

Curious and intriguing is the Boat&Breakfast option, on board a series of boats and clippers located in ports throughout the country, which have cabins for 2, 3, or 4 people, and offer the possibility of excursions and short cruises along the coast. Some can also host groups and have spaces for meetings, gatherings, and small parties.
