كان قدييم جدا وكان الدرج صعب جدا ونقل الامتعه متعب جدا وغير مؤهل للسكن ابدا وكان المضيف غير لبق
we only stayed one night because we had to fly out in the morning but we would have enjoyed staying longer .. it was a beautiful old home in a perfect location - walking distance to the train station but in a nice neighborhood with shops and cafes along the canal .. would definitely recommend
Von Anfang an fühlten wir uns hier willkommen. Der Empfang durch die Besitzer war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir konnten das Gepäck sowohl vorher als auch nachher deponieren. Das Zimmer in diesem wunderschönen Grachtenhaus war liebevoll und schön eingerichtet, mit vielen Kunstwerken des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts, die allem eine künstlerische, persönliche Atmosphäre verliehen haben. Die Lage ist perfekt im historischen Zentrum von Amsterdam, direkt an den Grachten und fußläufig zum Anne-Frank-Museum, Cafés und kleinen Boutiquen. Unser Frühstück war gut, frisch und liebevoll zubereitet.
Die Toilette und die Dusche in dem Appartement im Hinterhaus sind wirklich sehr eng - echtes Grachtenhausfeeling.
Building carater, location, space and friendly hosts
No TV or proper area to eat/cook, which considering it is an appartment, was a bit missing
Plasseringen, hyggelig vertskap og stort soverom
Kunne fått litt mer til frokost og gjerne noe grønt.
What a dream place to stay, from its unique style to the most friendliness hosts, from the moment we arrived we was made to feel at home, the view from our room was delightful, the beds and duvets was extremely comfortable. The location over looking the canal was just perfect and a short walk to the train station , shops and bars. On a Saturday there is a lovely local market literally 5 minute walk away. Overall I would give this B&B 5*. We will definitely stay again. Thank you ☺️
Absolutely nothing!!! :)
The location. The property was clean and well maintained. We arrived early and the owner was very welcoming and let us check in. Very spacious and comfortable, especially the bed.
Unfortunately the plumbing was being serviced when I tried to take a shower. This was about a 30 minute inconvenience…no big deal. It is impossible to close the doors to the toilet if you are tall. The stairs are intimidating if you are not used to “Dutch stairs”.
Very welcoming
I didn’t dislike anything
Amazing rooms, with a tasteful design and a friendly family-run business.
Goede locatie.
So beautiful view from the room. It's clean, nice decorated, delicious breakfast and very welcoming host.
Wonderful house full of art, exquisite taste and gorgeous furniture. Hosts amiable and kind, perfect. Perfect breakfast! Wonderful stay. Gorgeous position in front of a wide canal.
Wonderful property, location, and owners. Right on a canal and close to the train station. The museums were about a 30-minute (very pleasant) walk away. Would definitely stay again.
The position overlooking the canal was exceptional The hostess Loes and her husband were really friendly and helpful
Nothing!
Good location, comfortable bed, great breakfast, and host is very nice.
The Flat was very cosy and the view was also nice. The owner of B&B was very helpful and friendly. The location was perfect aswell.
Amazing location very close to Amsterdam Centraal Station. It’s a beautiful canal house on the Herengracht. Loes is a lovely host and she cooks a great breakfast!
This delightful B&B is so beautifully located. Right on the Herrengracht, not that far from the central station and because of its location, it is close to tourist landmarks as well. It's a gorgeous old and traditional Amsterdam house, sensitively renovated and cosily furnished. And Loes and her husband are delightful, helpful and kind. The truth is in the eating of the pudding and this one was particularly delicious.
Nothing not to like in this house!
Great view, location and breakfast 😊
The location could not have been more convenient (or beautiful), and we were welcomed with the warmest hospitality! This B&B is so incredibly charming, cozy and full of character!
Location, Hosts and cleanliness. Vintage property
Nothing in particular
The B&B is top located in Herengracht. The hosts are very friendly, the check-in/check-out was very uncomplicated and a nice breakfast with wonderful coffee and homemade jam, farmer´s cheeses, fresh juice, croissants, bread and eggs was served. The room was very spacious and comfortabel and very clean. We had a wonderful view on the canal. The room was very quiet and we absolutely enjoyed our stay. Overall a top choice! For sure we will come back! THANK YOU!
Nothing
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Our hosts were lovely... kind and helpful. The room was very comfortable... especially the bed. I loved the bathtub!
Just a note that this would not be suitable for people with mobility issues.
Beautiful old house in the best location. It felt like visiting a real characterful family home, but with total privacy. Friendly helpful owners and an amazing breakfast.
all was great no complaints
I could say the steep stairs but this is part of the attraction in selecting the property
Location is just perfect, owners were both lovely, breakfast was great and it's really nice to stay in traditional old town canal house. Super authentic experiance.
It was really cold at in the room when I came back at nigh, perhaps 15 degrees, luckily the bed was verrry warm so was not a big deal as I did not stay in the apartment otherwise. Was not sure how to make it warmer, but in the mornign one of the heaters was fully on which made it better. Just something to look out for in the future!
What a beautiful place to stay at central Amsterdam. This B&B is well located by the canal and also close to the train station. It is spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated. The host is super nice and makes great commendations for sightseeing places. The breakfast is also wonderful. We wished we could stay more days but it is always fully booked since it only has two rooms. Next time we will book early.
None
Felt very homely.
The stairs are an absolute killer! The tv didn’t work unfortunately
This room is in an excellent locality, right in the Amsterdam city centre. Amsterdam Central is just 7-8 mins by walk. The couple (owners) living here were very friendly and helpful. They even make breakfast of your choice! The room was a duplex where the living room is at the bottom floor and the toilets and bedroom at the top floor. The living room was quite spacious with sofa, TV, kitchen utensils, refrigerator and even coffee powder. Both the rooms were clean and tidy. Toiletries like towels and shower gel was also provided.
The bedroom, toilet and the bathroom was quite cramped as we could barely stand in the toilet! Shampoo was also not provided. The apartment is on the 2nd floor with no elevator/lift and a very narrow stair case. Carrying check-in bags was a difficult job. For around CHF 160 per night, it was quite expensive.
Breakfast was lovely. Great location.
Very narrow staircase
Excellent location and beautiful home.
Steep stairs
Close to everything
super cozy vintage apartment. well located next to a channel and 10 minutes by walking to Centraal Amsterdam. Great breakfast. Owners are very kind 100% recommend

Lovely breakfast and really kind host
The toilet was tiny and in a cupboard. Was glad I was with family!
Fabulous hosts and a quirky, cute B&B. Delicious breakfast!
Wonderful stay in a brilliant location, near the central station and city center. The hosts are amazing and kind. The canal room is big and comfortable. This is the place for me every time i’ll visit Amsterdam.
Lovely house full of character in a great location. Bed was very comfortable. Host was friendly and helpful and cooked a nice breakfast. A very pleasant stay and would stay there again.
