Excellent short break in Amsterdam with kids

10.0

All of the staff were incredibly welcoming, the hotel room was spacious and well equipped and the additional perks (wine in room, drinks and snacks in lobby) were very generous. The hotel was also well located for lots of the attractions we wanted to visit.

− Nothing.
