**BEST BED AND BREAKFAST IN AMSTERDAM**…read more WOW, loved this place! I booked a double room for 115 EURO a night for 2 persons. Vlad, one of the owners, was fantastic. He was friendly and communicative. He provided us with tips, suggestions, and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. Room was beautiful. Lots of light, good bedding, and awesome bathroom. Despite many hangovers, we were *gently* woken up by the friendly staff to ensure that we enjoyed our European breakfast every morning. Nice location, walking distance to everything. I took the train station and walked there. It saved me 12-15 EURO. PROS: *Location *Staff *Good breakfasts *Super clean *Felt homey *Great rooms *Reasonable rates *Non-smoking *Front living room area where you can read and relax *Quiet CONS: *Advance reservations (first come, first serve) *2 weeks cancellation policy *Lots of stairs Completely enjoyed my experience here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Just left our 5 night stay at Maes B & B and we couldn't have been happier. The correspondence…read moreprior to arrival was swift and responsive. The owners like to have your flight arrival information and check it for any delays etc. They are waiting for you, ready for your arrival. We stayed in the yellow suite which was the entire 2nd floor. Stairs are typically steep but easy to navigate if you don't have any handicaps. The living room was large with a large couch and multiples chairs and a lovely view below of the cobblestone street. The bedroom holds a comfortable bed with a few dressers - there is no view but after my first night there realized this was perfect. Quite quiet, away from the street noise, it was the perfect environment for sleeping. The breakfast was tasty and ready every morning at 9 am. The freshest cut fruit, fresh breads and croissants (which permeate the house :) starting around 8 or 8:30 am). Great coffee and tea. Ed and Ian are an enjoyment to speak with during the meal. Many excellent restaurants are just a few steps away - and you can be at Central Station within 10 minutes walking. Would highly recommend Maes B & B and would be thrilled to stay there again.

I just got back from a weekend in Amsterdam with a friend, and I must say, staying at Amsterdam Bed…read moreand Boat really made my visit to Amsterdam special. Loes and Wing, the owners of the houseboat, were incredibly generous and accommodating hosts. This is especially true given my circumstances. To give some context, I am being reimbursed for my trip to Amsterdam, but in order to get reimbursed, I needed a signed contract and receipt as proof for my stay. Loes and Wing personally wrote, signed, and printed these for me -- much of it while they were on vacation! If that didn't already cause enough trouble for them, my friend and I arrived into Amsterdam around midnight, yet Loes and Wing graciously stayed up and waited for us to arrive -- greeting us only with smiles and a bottle of wine. Each day for breakfast, Loes and Wing went out to buy fresh bread for our breakfast, served when we wanted it, along with a generous assortment of juice, eggs, meats, cheese, yogurt, granola, and more. When it rained in Amsterdam the first day my friend and I were there, we were even provided with umbrellas to use. I was actually shocked that for the weekend we stayed in this houseboat, it wasn't sold out like nearly all the other boats in Amsterdam. One would think that the 5-star treatment we received as guests (along with a great rate per night) would cause this bed, boat, and breakfast to be permanently booked. Many thanks to Loes and Wing for making our stay absolutely wonderful!

My partner and I just returned from a week spent on Loes and Wing's Bed and Boat. The room/cabin…read morewas beautifully appointed with a very comfortable sitting area in addition to the comfy bed. We were treated with wine and a lovely table bouquet on arrival, with this then the amenities began..... excelllent breakfasts with a daily tray of meat, cheese, several breads, jams, orange juice, yogurt, granola and eggs or fruits. Of course, the unforgetable coffee karafe. All this within skipping distance of our daughter also on Levantkade and the trams/buses terminal. We were most appreciative of their kind concern for our wellbeing from umbrellas to boarding passes to directions. These folks are wonderfully personable hosts...truly recommend them and their beautiful houseboat

Termi kasih. Hartelijk bedankt. It has been the best decision we have made. 5 Stars is not enough…read more We stayed 3 nights and we wanted to stay longer. The attention to detail, hospitality and comfort is absolutely amazing. Businesses should take note, as Oki and Frank have mastered the art of hospitality. What makes LQS the best is that it just IS. You will understand it as soon as you walk through their door. Their restaurant recommendations are top-notch. We stayed in our room more than we expected. It was just very relaxing and comfortable. We would take walks and see the sights, come back for some hot tea and a little rest in the room during the afternoon. We then venture our for dinner (there are various restaurants close by). It was just great to lay back and enjoy the serene, beautiful and cozy environment that Oki and Frank have established. Their B&B utilizes eco-consious and sustainable materials. You can read all these reviews of what Oki and Frank has done. I have one more thing to add under the "attention to detail". They even provided a "tea steeping" 3 minute hourglass timer. REALLY. They are that great. A Heartfelt thank you. Terima kasih, Oki and Frank for making our anniversary an absolute special one. They only have two rooms.. so book as soon as you can!

Just terrific! The rooms are lovely...comfortable, beautiful with amazing bathroom. Very quiet…read moreresidential street near great restaurants and easy walking distance to major museums. The hosts are terrific and bring an amazing breakfast to your room.

My Husband and I stayed at the Vondel View in March 2011. It was our first trip to Amsterdam and…read morethe first time in years it was just the two of us (our kids were with the In Laws). Rita made our stay thoroughly enjoyable and very relaxing. We stayed in the Bed and Breakfast suite which was spotlessly clean! The front room has a flat screen TV and a refrigerator. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom has a jacuzzi tub which was nice. The Vondel Park is right next to the B&B and a lovely park. This area of Amsterdam is really a nice upscale area. Each morning Rita served breakfast in the front room. The freshly squeezed orange juice was the BEST I've ever had. Really great way to start a day full of sightseeing! Rita was extremely helpful and such a pleasant person. I have such fond memories of our trip to Amsterdam and we hope to one day return to this lovely city and once again stay at The Vondel View Bed and Breakfast! :)

What an amazing experience we had at Vondel View. Rita and her husband were wonderful hosts and we…read moreare so thankful we were able to stay here during our visit to Amsterdam! Location, location, location. The B&B is in a beautiful neighborhood a stone's throw from Vondelpark. There are many restaurants close by and it is a great area to just walk around and take in the city. Public transit is close by and there are a few bicycle rental shops down the street. We used our bikes to get everywhere and from the B&B, it was at most a 20 minute ride to any museum or attraction. It was also very easy to get to from the main train station, just a hop onto the tram and it drops you off less than a 5 minute walk from the inn. We stayed in the Flower Room which was elegant and cozy. Our adjacent bathroom was complete private (this room is on its own floor) and was huge compared to many of the inns we have previously stayed in during our travels in Europe. The room overlooked a lush garden and was a wonderfully quiet space after our busy days in the city. Breakfast was fantastic and Rita made sure to remember our dietary restrictions which we so appreciated. She brought breakfast to our room each morning at the requested time and was helpful in planning our days, providing directions, etc... I think I could have stayed here for another two weeks had time allowed it! I can't wait to return to Amsterdam and stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience in The Netherlands!
