Boogaard's B&B sets an extremely HIGH STANDARD for B&B's!
The rooms are clean & comfortable, the location is excellent, the many amenities are superb, the owner/operator is extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are superb!
We stayed for 5 nights in Nov 2014, and could not be happier.
Conveniently located right in the Centrum (downtown) area of Amsterdam just a block away from the "Dam" monument and a 10 min walk from the Central Station, this is set off in a quiet (and safe) alley.
The owner, Peter, is the perfect host. He personally prepares elegant, hearty breakfasts each morning - from quiches with ham to croissants stuffed with aged gouda & ham, cherry turnovers, fresh fruit salad, along with all the fixings - OJ, cappuccino, etc. And he provides excellent advice fine restaurants nearby and planning your day.
According to Peter, he relocated from another location and completely renovated at this site at the beginning of 2014.
The place is SPOTLESS, very comfortable and is lovingly appointed.
There is free (fast) wifi. a laptop, modern bathroom facilities, very comfortable bed with at least 6 pillows plus dog-themed decorations.
AND the min-fridge is stocked with complimentary soft drinks, water; plus coffee & tea; and best yet, home-baked cakes and cookies (also free).
This was our first experience w/ a B&B, and we are new SPOILED.
We (my wife & I) heartily recommend this B&B! read more
