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

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

Comfortable, generally clean, welcoming, and casual are the b&b, a precious place to get to know the local population and discover their little daily habits, also feeling a little less like strangers. In cities like Amsterdam, those overlooking the canals or near the floating flower market, easily reachable also by bicycle, rented or provided free by the owners, are very romantic.

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