Bed and Breakfast Amsterdam - Amsterdam

This was a great B&B - welcoming, clean and quiet with nice touches like the blackcurrent jenevere, jars of sweets and chocolates on the bed to wecome us bacj each evening. Paul gave us good local eating recommendations. We also liked De Doffer 'brown cafe' and Cafe Schiller in town. The Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museums were wonderful and the 'Church in the Attic' museum was a real find. View the waterfront from the Eye film museum's amazing cafe terrace.

Excellent welcome at the Bed & Breakfast Amsterdam. Comfortable, and convenient. No public common area except breakfast / coffee area, but room had access to the garden courtard. Reservation requests telephone contact on arrival. Discovered that finding a coin telephone in Amsterdam anywhere near the Central Station is VERY difficult - either non existent or not functional. Eventually made notification via an internet cafe. Unfortunately one memory of Amsterdam will be the very poor state of public telephones ... travellers arriving from overseas may well not have unlocked cell phones, and finding a store that sold cards for card type pay phones was also difficult. Also surprised by the inability to purchase train tickets to the airport with cash at the Lelyln Train Station - would not accept VISA nor bank card. Had to travel to Central Station to purchase a ticket - who sold ticket at a premium for having to meet an agent - without informing us that there would be no trains operating on the day for which we bought the ticket (the next day). Arriving at station there was no information displayed that trains to airport were not running, and only other travellers checking on their iPhones were able to give us instruction. Fortunately we had left very early and werea ble to make the necesary adjustment - travelling by Metro and Bus to the airport, even though we had a train ticket that was not used! Low points for railroad - not tourist friendly!

A very conveniently located b and b. The host, Paul is very welcoming and once he has explained the layout of the b and b keeps a respectful distance but is always contactable via a mobile phone which he provided in the lobby. Room was beautifully clean and quiet and the bed very comfortable. The air conditioning unit was a welcome addition and the owner thoughtfully put it on for us during the day when the weather was particularly warm so the room was lovely and cool for our return. Good range of breakfast cereal and tea, coffee (both real and instant), hot chocolate, herb teas, biscuits and a fridge for your own use. Overall, would have no hesitation for recommending this B and B.

This is a great location close to Vondelpark. We loved the sense of privacy (Paul gave us loads of information on the first day and off we went)and having access to a kitchen and garden when we liked - home from home.

Had an excellent stay with credit due to the owner Paul, who provided a detailed orientation to the lodging and the neighborhood. Our flight to Schiphol was delayed by about 9 hours so we arrived very late. When we finally arrived at the B&B, Paul was enthusiastic and a great host even though it was quite late in the evening. The next morning he spent quite a bit of time with us describing area activities.

the room was very good the breakfast was so lala, self service , milk, coffee / tea and biscuites if other things wanted we had to buy it in the supermarket and prepare it. There was not possibility to heat milk or boil an egg. the steps do not allow handicaped people to stay in the rooms upstairs.

Very pleasant stay,confortable well placed for our planned programme in Amsterdam, regarding Museums and other places of interest to us. We can warmly recommend this B&B.

A lovely place to stay in a quiet location. The room was spacious, nicely decorated and very very clean. The owner Paul was very helpful and provided us with a map of Amsterdam and also a detailed map showing local facilities and recommended restaurants. Everything was to a very high standard and each day we were provided with free chocolates and delicious balckcurrant gin. My idea of heaven!

Great. Paul and Karen two great people. They take care of every detail. THE beautiful and quiet area. I recommend it for people who have to go to Amsterdam. We do not hesitate if we return. Genial¡¡¡. Paul y Karen dos personas excelentes. Cuidan los más mínimos detalles. LA zona preciosa y silenciosa. Lo recomiendo para las personas que tengan que ir a Amsterdam. Nosotros no lo dudaremos si volvemos.

I had an amazing room overlooking a working canal. The B&B was located on a quiet street and I appreciated the quietness after being in the midst of the busyness of the city center. As one other person mentioned, you will need to get used to taking the trams since it's about a 10-15 minute ride to the major spots. I like their tram system. The Wi-Fi worked for me the entire length of my stay. Paul was most helpful(I did not get to meet Karen this time) and he had maps in the room that were very helpful. I loved the list of recommended places to eat as well as transportation resources. Paul and Karen understand what information a visitor to their city needs in making their trip a success. I was a solo traveler and this place was perfect for me. I could also see this being a great place for couples.

What could be a lovely place for a great price becomes a standard place with "minimal" service/facilities when the prices are going up. Requirement to pay cash at arrival, limited wifi coverage, no shoes policy, limited housekeeper presence (only at arrival), no breakfast (only milk and flakes),acrobatic stairs to reach the 2nd floor and a location which is still not so close to downtown city, let us a strange feeling.

we have realy nice nice vaccation

Lovely spotless-clean garden room, very friendly and helpful staff, 10 minutes to city center with tram no.1, nice restaurants nearby. Thank you, Paul and Karen, we will visit again!

This is a great place to stay. I stayed for 8 days and am a single middle age female traveling alone so location and safety as well as quality are highly important to me. Paul was welcoming and spent time on my arrival explaining the city trams and transportation and I was easily able to get around the city to both my meetings and to the sights that I wanted to see. The room is spotless and cleaned daily. The experience in a regular neighborhood was better than a hotel. It is near a major street with lots of restraunts and a grocery store. The breakfast is cereal and milk but my room had a small kitchen and I bought fruit (very cheap not tourist prices) at the store and had a nice breakfast everyday. It is also beautiful on a canal with boats cruising by. I would go back here and recommend staying here as my experience was very good.

very clean and comfortable, close to 2 tram lines, in a nice neighbourhood. Room was a double with private bath, windows overlooking a canal, small kitchen just outside my bedroom door.

Paul & Karen are very sympathic. They told us enough information we need for enjoying our stay in Amsterdam. The location of the B&B was perfect for us. Really quiet place.

It was a great place to stay. Great location and a good walking distance to everything one would want to see! The host was amazing at welcoming us and giving us information on how to get around and what to see!

I was struck by the cleanliness and comfort of my room. It was like a studio apartment, really, with a kitchen stocked with utensils, plates, bowls, cooking equipment, and breakfast cereals and milk. A refrigerator was provided so it was possible to prepare meals in the room, if preferred. This B&B was located quite a distance from the town center and learning the trams, I would say, is mandatory to stay at B&B Amsterdam, as walking regularly to and from the main areas of the city could be arduous (especially in the rain). However, the location of this B&B does encourage walking at least a few times through beautiful Vondelpark (watch out for the bicyclists and check-out the all-in-one-bicycle-carriages for the children). One or two negatives about B&B Amsterdam: I was left without towels for the first 3 days - housekeeping I guess just forgot to leave bathroom linens which made for a chilly, drip-dry experience; there were quite a few steps to the landing for my room and it was not lit so coming home after dark was quite precarious, and shoes are not allowed in the rooms which is a nice rule, I think, but there is really no place to sit outside the door and take off difficult footwear like boots - a chair would have been nice. All-in-all, it was a lovely place to stay and I wouldn't mind returning and perhaps renting a bicycle to shorten my journey into the city area.

All was as I expected and we were not disappointed! Paul was friendly and very informative. Breakfast was serve-yourself from the hallways in the first and top floors. It consisted of a selection of cereals plus milk,Dutch cookies, teas, cocoa (yum!) and instant coffee. Each room was given a shelf in the small fridge. Candies by the shoe rack in the hall and on the bed at night. Nice touches, including fresh flowers by the bed and a special liqueur on the tables.The "kitchens" also held travel books and information. Water was fine to drink. Windows in the rooms could be opened at night for fresh air. Hair dryers provided. Would have liked an inroom safe, though. Short walks to various restaurants. Went to Mr. Mix twice and thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine, a mixture of foods. Loved being so close to Vondelpark and the bike rental was at the other end of the park. We walked or biked to many of the major sightseeing venues.Very safe area. We would definitely stay there again. Just a note, the stairs to the top floor are very, very steep and narrow so if you have heart or physical problems, opt for a lower room.

We stayed 4 nights in the canalside room which was faultlessly clean and very spacious.The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was basic but this wasn't too much of a problem for us. Lots of really nice thoughtful touches (including generous amounts of blackcurrant gin (bessenjenever)..I am definitely a convert!! The B&B itself is an easy tram ride from the main sights of Amsterdam, (or close to Vondel Park if you fancy a nice leisurely stroll)and is easy to get to from Schiphol airport (especially with the excellent instructions Paul provided). The great thing for us was that, even though there are plenty of local bars and restaurants nearby, it was nice and quiet at night. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a real home from home in Amsterdam.

Great place, quiet, Paul very helpful with directions, places to eat, tram use, other info. Room & bathroom large, very well maintained - also nice to have AC as the temp rose! Liked having a fridge available and great/creative restaurant next door. Overall a most enjoyable place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing.

Nice, clean, spacy bed & breakfast. The owner gave us a nice introduction to the area as we arrived, which contributed greatly to our stay (and led to far less que-standing than otherwise!). Great hospitality of the owners! The room/apartment was nice with a great view over the canal. The possible only downside is distance to town, after the last tram there is approximately 45 minutes to go to the city centre.

The room we had was spotless, gorgeous, comfortable and very roomy. Peaceful location, yet close to everything. The proprietors are available and willing to answer/assist with any requests. The tea and cereal offerings always satisified. I want to be there now!

This place and it's owner is amazing, warm welcome from Paul & KAren unchilled the bad weather. The room very comfy and clean.

We received a warm welcome and good information about the area and what to do in Amsterdam

It was a wonderfull stay in this nice B&B. We loved the room, especially to relax after an exhausting day :-) Breakfast includes cereals, milk, coffee, tea, chocolate... if you need any more there is a supermarket 5 minutes away. I would recommend this B&B to young couples, because its really romantic. And you have to be fit because the stairs are steep! (We lived upstairs). We enjoyed our stay a lot!

super service.

This is a great place in a great location. The owners were attentive and efficient. Before the trip we indicated some special needs, which were taken care of completely. The room we had was not fancy, but very roomy and quite adequate. The neighborhood was a very nice mix of residential and nearby commercial including some really great restaurants. Transportation was convenient and reasonably priced (get the multi-day passes). We plan to use this as our base of operation for future trips to Amsterdam.

Found it a really nice place to stay, conveniently located. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely recommend it to others.

We stayed on the top floor, in the canalside room. We loved every minute off the stay. The room was excellent, clean and cosy. We will recommend Bed & Breakfast Amsterdam!!

My husband and I traveled to Amsterdam on holiday and stayed at B&B Amsterdam for 5 nights. The price for the value was excellent. We had the canal side room which was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The owner Paul greeted us early in the morning upon arrival and gave us a sheet that recommended nearby restaurants, told us where the ATM and tram stops were as well as how to buy the confusing tram tickets. My only negative comments would be that if you are a light sleeper you may want to get a back garden room as there is a cute restaurant bar right next door that is open late so we were woken up by partying patrons a few nights. The walk to the museums is about 20 minutes and the walk to the tram is about 10 minutes to get to City Center. We tried almost all of Paul's restaurant suggestions and they were excellent and a short 5-10 minute walk from the B&B. If you don't mind not being in City Center at night this is an awesome place to stay. The price was more than $100 US less than the 2-3 star hotels closer in.

L'accueil de Paul, le propriétaire, a été efficace et chaleureux. Il nous a tout expliqué et fourni des cartes, dont une du quartier avec les commerces indispensables, et a répondu à toutes nos questions. Le B&B est situé dans un quartier calme un peu excentré de la ville (7mn en tram du centre, 2km en passant par le parc très sûr même la nuit).Il est agréable, très propre mais notre chambre qui donnait sur le canal était assez bruyante en raison des passants et des bateaux. Par ailleurs, la chambre ne possédait que des stores (courant aux Pays-Bas visiblement) et des rideaux,et nous avons été gênés par la lumière du soleil. La douche pourrait être améliorée. Une étagère du petit frigo est à notre disposition, ainsi que des céréales, café, thés, biscuits et lait + "mini-bar" possible(barres chocolatées, boissons). Des attentions agréables: liqueur de cassis, chocolats chaque matin, parapluies prêtés, bonbons. Sèche-cheveux à disposition, bonne connection Internet gratuite. Bar/petite restauration à proximité. Les -:bruit et lumière Les +: - accueil très sympathique - maison agréable et propre - quartier calme - plan complet de la ville, carte du quartier - bonbons, liqueur, chocolat - frigo à disposition - parapluies

We can't recommend this highly enough. Paul gave us a great welcome and was most helpful. The accommodation was more than we anticipated - wonderful, spacious and very clean. We would recommend Tulips to any of our friends and would certainly stay there again. Thanks to Karen and Paul.

One of the most outstanding B&Bs in which my girlfriend and I have stayed, US or EU. Clean-clean-clean, wonderful bed, air conditioned, great location, convenient to transportation and a very nice "Central Park" quality park. We had the top-floor suite, and it blew us away. We stocked up at the local supermarket, and enjoyed our own sumptuous breakfasts and wine-cheese-baguette appetizers before heading out to dinner. Right on a canal with a friendly large gray heron who greeted us as we left each morning, sort of like a neighborhood pet. Coming back from a day at the Rikjsmuseum and perusing the canals to this was pure pleasure.

Mon épouse et moi avons été charmés par le cadre de séjour proposé, par la gentillesse de notre hôte, par le professionalisme de tout ce dont nous avons diposé. C'est une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation. (seul petit point délicat pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, l'escalier de la chambre du haut - qui par ailleurs est très agréable avec vue sur le canal - est un peu difficile d'accès. En tout cas merci à nos hôtes pour cette très bonne adresse.

Everything without fault, consequently difficult to comment. I'll go at B&B Amsterdam not only for a week stay but also for a longer vacation. Paul & Karen are perfect hosts. Go there!

first time but I 'll be back . if it's not booked out, which it deserves to be. loved it, one of my personal favourites ever, thank you

we recommend the bed and breakfast amsterdam to all the people who would like to spend a lovely time in the pleasant venice of the netherlands. go and enjoy

Ce B&B est presque parfait : environnement super, proximité du tram (ligne 1 à 5 min à pied), excellente organisation (téléphone portable préprogrammé disponible en permanence, frigos bien achalandés en boissons et en-cas, très bonnes informations pour l'arrivée, les déplacements dans Amsterdam et les restaurants) de Paul qui est très sympa mais qu'on ne voit pas beaucoup. Le seul regret (mais c'était connu au départ) est de ne pas avoir de petit déjeuner en commun. C'est un charmant point de chute au bout de Vondelpark pour visiter cette belle ville très agréable.

Premessa: non stiamo parlando di un b&b tradizionale. Quando arrivate, tanto per cominciare, non trovate alcuna insegna. Si tratta a tutti gli effetti di un complesso abitativo adibito a b&b. Detto questo, i due proprietari sono molto gentili, ti riempiono di consigli e di attenzioni. Le camere (almeno la nostra) sono ampie e pulite. Ricordate che all'ingresso dovrete togliere le scarpe, perché nel b&b si gira senza (i proprietari hanno un approccio alla vita da fricchettoni). Il neo principale è la colazione: ve la dovete preparare da voi e "il materiale" che vi viene messo a disposizione non è straordinario. Per quanto riguarda la collocazione in città, il b&b è un po' fuori dal centro, non è facilissimo da trovare la prima volta, ma è ben collegato con il tram e la zona è carina, con locali simpatici e praticamente in mezzo a un parco. Nel complesso, considerando la media delle sistemazioni ad Amsterdam, un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Ah, dimenticavo: è sconsigliato agli anziani e alle coppie con bambini perché le scale interne sono incredibilmente ripide.

This property is beautiful we stayed on the first floor. It's really an apartment, not a UK style B&B. I could have spent the rest of my life living there, quite happily. The canal view from the balcony is wonderful, and when barges pass it's quite amazing - some are as long as a football field. Location wise, it's easy to find if you follow Paul's directions. (The owner) When going out, it's a lovely walk through the park to the downtown area. Paul's tips and advice are great. Read carefully the comment that the Joffer's breakfast is enough for two - my wife and I made enough sandwiches with our leftovers to last us the whole day. Venere rate this property around 9.1 - it's very easy to see how it got that rating, and it even deserves to be higher. Thanks Paul, we loved your apartment.

This was our first time in Amsterdam, and only stayed here our first night as we were waiting for friends to arrive. The bed and breakfast was so AWESOME! The owners were super nice and very helpful! The room was so cute and cozy. I would for sure consider staying here again for my whole trip if I ever make it to Amsterdam again.

An exceptionally fine B&B. Great location if people like to take a little walk at the beginning/end of each day through the beautiful Vondel Park. Great area for joggers!

We stayed 4 days and 3 nights in that place and I must say that this was delightful. Paul, the owner, is really nice and helpfull, with a great sense of humour. The place is not in city-center but you can easily join dowtown by tram (direct). It is a bit noisy because of boats waiting on the canal but still it is charming and very pleasant! I will go back there certainly! A really good adress.

The hotel is short way from the airport. Tram stations not far away. Many good restaurants in the neighbourhood. Vondelpark close and in good weather nice to walk through it to the center. Supermarket near by. And parrots in the garden.

Very good B&B, a bit far from the center (20 min by feet, but only 5 min by tram or by bike). The host is very welcoming, the room is really nive, with a very calm garden to take your breakfast. A very good choice to stay in Amsterdam!

as the place is a bed AND BREAKFAST, bread,cheese,yogurt and juice could be avaliable for the guests in order to honour the price paid.

The canal house was amazing.. We expected a bed and breakfast with a small room and bathroom, but arrived to a beautiful apartment. Only negative aspect is that you can hear the people upstairs very well when they are walking around the house.. and they get up pretty early. Great location! Great staff! Great city!

Un posto davvero fantastico, bellissimo, pulitissimo e in un'ottima posizione. Peter è davvero gentile e soprattutto dà delle ottime indicazioni. Perfette le indicazioni per raggiungere il b&b dall'aeroporto bytrain. Consigliatissimo. Ottimo anche il locale all'angolo della strada.

At first, I was reluctant to book this B&B because it seemed a little pricey and out of the way. However, I am very glad I did. The owner is a very nice person who was extremely helpful. He gave us a map and told us everywhere we may want to go, answered our questions and was over all a very pleasant person. The kitchen and bathroom were both nice and the room was lovely. Good neighbourhood and the room was worth the money. Also, he left some blackcurrent gin in our room ever day that tastes great. Honestly, I'd go just for the gin.

Lovely apartment/s. Well furnished and supplied. Good location. Easy access. Would have liked to meet our hosts before the last day! Wish non euro, pound or dollar earners could have a cheaper rate, but appreciate that that is the going rate for Amsterdam!

The Gardenviewroom, was really excellent!

The B&BAmsterdam was a nice discover for me..it is situated in a very quiet area of the city, 5 minutes by tram from Leidsplein. If you like you can cross the Vondel Park which is opposite the B&B, and in 15 minutes you are in the centre of the city. The welcoming was very nice and the owners too! Thanks Paul!

This is a terrific place to stay away from the madding crowds. A canal front home with lots of eating options nearby and all other conveniences as well. A daily flask of jeniver is perfect in the evening when you get back tired from the sightseeing. Easy access to tram to get anywhere around town and Vondel Park is a nice oasis in the middle of the city.

The room is really comfortable...the red carpet inspire more than the red district. Laura&Paolo

Excellent non smoking facilities and some nice welcoming touches, eg free gin and chocolates! Good amenities near by and a pleasant walk into city centre through the park. Paul was very helpful with locations of interest and getting around. Will definately return, thank you

We really enjoyed our stay!!!

it was very clairaudient. there was a hole in the basement in our room (garden room).less kitchen stuff with very low quality, not enough dishes and cutlers. very near to Vondelpark, very good area. supermarket in the near.very good transport connection to the center.

This was my first time in Amsterdam and I was here for a week partly for work and for a holiday. The B&B was fantastic. Very homely. Being next to the canal was great and there were lots of great restaurants very close by.

Excellent B&B. Provided an excellent base for holiday, really comfortable and clean. Bright and airy rooms tastefully decorated that make it a pleasure coming "home". Paul and Karen really helpful but not intrusive. Will stay again

other than the fact no one was there to greet us or help with the luggage up the very steep stairs it was a great stay

Essendo un Bed & BREAKFAST ci si potrebbe aspettare qualcosa di più di colazione (come brioches, yogurt, caffè non solo solubile...), comunque è interessante e comoda la disponibilità della cucina e la totale libertà di orari. Pulizia ottima, ambienti accoglienti, gentilezza e cortesia! Da consigliare agli amici e da ritornarci... (speriamo!) To be a Bed & BREAKFAST you could expect something more for breakfast (like brioches, yogurt, coffe not only soluble...), however it is very interesting and comfortable the kitchen availability and the totally time independence. Excelent cleanliness, cozy rooms, kindness and niceness! To suggest to your friends and to return... we hope...

Very nice Bed&Breakfast, calm, clean in a nice area. Suitable for independant travellers.

Il B&B è l'ideale per chi vuole trascorrere una vacanza lontano dai rumori e vicino al centro. Di fronte c'è uno dei parchi più belli di Amsterdam e vicino c'è tutto quello che occorre. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e molto organizzati. In 30 minuti ti spiegano tutto. molto pulito.

Nice alternative to standard hotels, which are often devoid of human touch. As for Amsterdam standards, the price is reasonable.

A lovely place! Owners Paul and Karen are welcoming and then not intrusive. We (my husband and myself) stayed in three different rooms as we decided to extend our stay for the full week. One room was ground floor and spacious, the second a suite with private bath and kitchen and the third well...for the price just fine and cozy. It WAS 61 steps on the top floor! The view from the deck on top was lovely, but a scary height without railings. NO KIDS. Pack light. Near stores, easy access via cab to airport for about 25 euros, restaurants next door and the tram very close to take you all about town.

Very clean, excellent location. Owner welcomed us and provided a very detailed explanation of the rooms, services and surroundings. Very nice touches like chocolates on pillow, cell phone available for calls to the owner and taxi, list of services in the area, etc. I would definitely stay here again with my family.

Amsterdam is a very charming and comfortable B&B. The room we stayed in (garden view) was HUGE and well appointed. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating. A bit outside the city center, the neighborhood surrounding the B&B offered lots to explore and many good restaurtants. Highly recommended!

excellent place for quite holidays and visit arround
