Pet friendly Hotels in Noord-Holland, Netherlands

This review is based purely on our own experience. We had an amazing time at this hotel. All the staff were great and friendly. If you needed anything they would get it for you. Felt welcomed from arrival. The room was super clean and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable it made us realise how uncomfortable ours is back home. The shower was big enough for two 😉. Breakfast was plentiful with a mix of continental and cooked. You also get a choice of different cooked eggs. I personally enjoyed having an omelet with spinach. Enjoyed the social hour every day between 4 and 5 pm. They do have a restaurant too but we ate out. The cocktail bar is nice, didn't hear the music from our room. I would easily recommend this hotel and hope to visit again in the future. Yes there are (at time of writing) Road works outside but we didn't hear any noise coming from them. If you arrive by train, don't waste money on a taxi as its only a short walk from the station. On a side note, if you want to do a canal cruise, I'd recommend doing the open top one. Yes it is a little more expensive but you get longer, see more and can ask questions to the skipper as you go round.

The location is very good, just a two-minute walk from the Van Gogh Museum. This area is much quieter than the central train station. It is next to the famous brand street and convenient for shopping. You can drink as much as you want at the hotel reception, which is quite good in the Netherlands where Coke costs several euros. The breakfast is simple, but the fruit and bread are delicious. I booked a small room of 14 square meters at first, which was very small and I couldn't even open my luggage. Later, I communicated with the hotel to change to a larger room and paid the difference.

Hotel Abba is a budget hotel in an excellent location in a wonderful Amsterdam area close to Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark. In this area you'll find cafés, restaurants and get a city vibe without being overrun by other tourists. There are trams stopping right outside but I typically walked to Leidseplein to take the tram to Asterdam Centraal as starting point. This is a one star hotel so expectations should be managed. I booked a single room with shared bathroom for several nights. When booking, I did not want a party-hotel in the Red Light district where I had to smell smoke non-stop and I did not want to sleep in a shared dorm. For most other hotels that would have landed me with a hotel cost significantly higher than what I paid, so I was happy to find this option. The room itself was functional. The bed was narrow but not uncomfortable. The room was worn but clean. I did hear the neighboring rooms quite a lot, but the hotel has signs in the room that things should be quiet after 22. The room was non-smoking, which was good. The room had an outdoor section which I believe was NOT non-smoking as I could smell the neighbors there. The bathroom was shared by maybe 3 or so rooms, but I never saw anybody else go in there. Both the toilet area and the shower were clean, no complaints. As my room had a sink, soap and hairdryer, it wasn't inconvenient or a hassle to share the bathroom- it worked fine. A continental breakfast was included, ie yoghurt, eggs, pre-sliced bread, cheese, ham etc. This worked well enough, although access to a toaster would have improved it. Apart from the excellent location, there was a grocery store next door to the hotel, which was convenient. The hotel was easy to find and easy to get to when arriving. As others have pointed out, there are steep stairs and no elevator, so do not book this if you have trouble with stairs. It was not a concern for me. The staff was nice and friendly. I again say manage your expectations- don't come here expecting a three or four star hotel and all the comforts that come with it. Accept that it has it's flaws, but it's a good enough place to sleep in between the days that you explore Amsterdam.
