Hotel vs Aparthotel in Amsterdam This Spring: Which One Is Really Worth It?

Discover why aparthotels are the best choice for visiting Amsterdam in spring, offering more space, comfort and flexibility while enjoying a stylish stay at Cityden Aparthotels.

Spring Stays Made Smarter


Spring is one of the best times to visit Amsterdam. In May, the city becomes greener, brighter and full of energy. The canals are busy again, café terraces stay open until late, and locals spend their days outdoors enjoying the sunshine. It is the perfect season for travellers who want to experience Amsterdam beyond the usual tourist checklist.

That is exactly why more visitors are choosing aparthotels over traditional hotels.

More Space to Enjoy Amsterdam Properly

A standard hotel room may work for one night, but spring in Amsterdam invites you to slow down and enjoy the city properly. After a full day of cycling through neighbourhoods, visiting museums, or walking along the canals, returning to a small room can quickly feel limiting.

An aparthotel gives you more freedom and comfort. With a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area and separate sleeping spaces, you can experience the city at your own pace.

At Cityden Aparthotels, guests enjoy apartments designed for modern travel. Whether you are visiting for a long weekend, a business trip or a longer spring stay, the extra space makes a huge difference.

Perfectly Connected to Amsterdam’s Most Famous Parks

Spring is also the ideal season to discover Amsterdam’s famous green spaces, and Cityden offers excellent connections to many of them.

Guests can easily visit:

  • Vondelpark for cycling, picnics and sunny terraces
  • Amsterdamse Bos for nature walks and outdoor activities
  • Rembrandtpark for a quieter local atmosphere
  • Beatrixpark near Amsterdam Zuidas
  • Museumplein gardens during spring events and outdoor activities

Several Cityden locations are close to tram, metro, and cycling routes, making it easy to get around the city while avoiding the busiest tourist areas.

For travellers visiting Amsterdam during spring, this balance between city life and green spaces makes the experience even better.


Better Value for Spring City Breaks

Spring is one of Amsterdam’s busiest travel seasons, which often means higher hotel prices and crowded accommodations.

That is where serviced apartments in Amsterdam offer better value.

At Cityden, guests can prepare breakfast before exploring the city, enjoy relaxed evenings in their apartment and stay comfortably for longer periods without depending entirely on restaurants or hotel services.

The combination of apartment flexibility and hotel comfort is one of the main reasons why aparthotels continue to grow in popularity.

Ideal for Business and Leisure Travel

Amsterdam in spring is also busy with conferences, international meetings and business events. Many travellers now prefer aparthotels because they offer a calmer and more practical environment than traditional hotels.

Cityden is particularly well-suited for business travel in Amsterdam visitors thanks to:

  • Spacious apartments
  • Comfortable workspaces
  • Excellent transport connections
  • Flexible long stay options
  • Easy access to Amsterdam Zuidas

At the same time, couples, families and groups benefit from the relaxed atmosphere and additional space that traditional hotels often cannot provide.

Experience Amsterdam Like a Local

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Cityden is experiencing Amsterdam more naturally. Instead of feeling surrounded by tourism all day, guests stay in lively neighbourhoods filled with cafés, parks, local restaurants and independent shops.

Spring is the perfect season for this type of travel. You can spend the morning exploring local markets, enjoy the parks during the afternoon and return to an apartment that feels genuinely comfortable.

Final Thoughts

Spring is when Amsterdam feels at its absolute best. The parks are alive, the terraces are full, and the city becomes perfect for slower, more flexible travel.
