    The hostel is a 10 minute walk from the city center, there are big markets and cafes around it. The room we stayed in is spacious and comfortable on the first floor, it has a balcony, the heaters were on in the evening, we did not get cold, the bathroom is big enough, hot water usage is very good. There is also a refrigerator in the room. You have breakfast in the shared kitchen in the hostel, the manager Frank is extremely attentive, sincere and cheerful. If we were to come again, we would definitely stay in the same place.

    Loved it. Frank was a fantastic host and made you feel very welcomed in his B&B. He was very attentive without being intrusive and was very helpful in suggesting things to do and where to eat. His B&B was in the heart of the Jordaan and easy walking distance to the Amsterdam Central Train Station.

    The breakfast had a good range of options and the host was willing to accommodate any requests. The house is cozy and in an excellent location. The host welcomes you as if you're home. Room was stylish, albeit a bit cold in the spring.

    I really liked the location of our accommodation—on a quiet street in a peaceful neighborhood. Just around the corner, there are two grocery stores, cozy cafés (I recommend Café Winkel), and bars. The size of our room was also a pleasant surprise—warm and spacious. The main attractions are within walking distance. A special thanks to our host, Frank, for his hospitality, delicious breakfasts, and amazing cheeses! :)

    No negative points. Everything was nice and as expected.

    Well located in Joordan area of the city , an upcoming area with lots of nice options ( cafes , restaurants , wine bars , bakeries ) and reasonable distance to most of the central part of Amsterdam and its main attractions. Spacious room , nicely decorated and really clean. Breakfast on a self service basis on the adjacent kitchen which is equipped with all the basic stuff and overlooks a nice alley. The owner is really welcoming and helpful and will do his best to make your stay as comfy as possible.

    The room we were in was adjacent to the kitchen which meant if there was anyone in the kitchen you could hear everything which isn’t great if you fancy a lie in on holiday. If you have mobility issues, definitely check you’re in the ground floor room as the stairs are very steep. We had everything we needed in the room, towels, hand wash, hair dryer, but it would be great if shower gel or even some kind of shampoo & conditioner was stocked in the bathroom.

    Very clean property, and easy to get to and from the city centre. The area was quiet on the evenings too and had a supermarket a couple doors down which was quite handy. We also had a balcony which was a nice touch.

    Nothing of concern at all. Steep steps if someone struggles on the stairs. You need to access the kitchen using the stairs but there is a bedroom downstairs.

    The location was fabulous and a lovely welcome from Andre. Breakfast was lovely. Andre had gone to the market and bought fresh croissants. Lovely feel to the house and made more than welcome. 5mins from Anne Frank museum and walking distance to rijkmuseum, Voldenpark, red light district (you've just gotta experience it...but during the day) , dam square etc. Next door to the B&B is a fab toy shop with genuinely good old fashioned toys, wooden and tin as well as lovely wee gifts. Lovely eateries and would recommend bunbun on the corner for a morning pastry.

    Steep stairs to first floor - but typical of Amsterdam houses.

    Large bedroom with Super-king size bed (convertible to 2 singles), chairs, tables and cupboards. Door onto small balcony with table and chairs looking out onto peaceful gardens. Kitchen next door with unlimited access for tea/coffee and breakfast (no set time for the latter) Bathroom clean and modern with great shower. Room was very quiet - couldn't hear traffic at all, curtains blocked light well and bed very comfy so a good sleep assured. Host lives upstairs and is on hand to provide any help required and is very friendly too.

    The communal breakfast area. I would have been more comfortable with tea or coffee facilities in room, instead of having to use a common area. Need a wake up brew in the morning without getting dressed.

    Great host, Frank was really welcoming. Super location, quiet area but lots of really good restaurants and bars. Room was really clean and had a nice balcony.
