We just spent five nights at Sunhead 1617 B&B in Amsterdam. We stayed in two different roooms and each was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Every morning we had a different breakfast and each one was fabulous. We were able to walk everywhere. The view of the canal at night was wonderful and the neighborhood was very peaceful. Both Carlos and... More

We spent 9 days with Carlos and we enjoyed every day. He is a wonderful chef and lots of fun to be with. His knowledge of The Netherlands is easily shared. He furnished us with care that was way beyond what we expected. This is a wonderful place to stay if you are going to Amsterdam. More

Sunhead is a beautiful canal house, full of character in a central but quiet part of Amsterdam. It's easy to get to by tram from the main station but you can walk too (takes about 15 mins with luggage). Herengracht is a gorgeous canal in a smart area of town. Lots of lovely boutiques and cafes are a short distance... More

I have always wanted to stay at one of the great canal houses in the center of Amsterdam. Sunhead met my expectations perfectly. (You know you've picked the right place when you see fellow tourists walking by taking pictures of your B&B.) Our room, Jasmine, faces the canal and is sweetly decorated with antiqued furniture, exposed brick and wood beams,... More

We spent 3 nights at the sunhead and the hospitality (and good humour) of Carlos and his partner cannot be beaten; from the warmth of his welcome in accommodating our rather early arrival to the renowned breakfasts and attention to detail in providing what a weary traveller needs in its' comfortable rooms. My partner was especially taken with the Nespresso... More

We loved staying at Sunhead 1617! The breakfast were great, scrambled eggs with salmon, white asparagus, a delicious smoothie, croissants, cappuccino, everything fresh and beautifully presented. We stayed in the narcissus room, which was very nice and the orange tulips were appreciated. Easy walk to city center and museum area. Good restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay again if traveling... More

We contacted Carlos via the internet and the booking process was very smooth. Carlos sent pictures of the 2 rooms he had available for our stay and these sold us on the property. The Jasmin room had a lovely view on to the canal and although Iris was at the back of the property it was a pleasant room. Both... More

We spend 3 days prior to leaving on a river cruise at the Sunhead with friends who also stayed there. There was confusion about the room and although the room we eventually were given wasn't the one we booked, we still enjoyed it. The hosts are wonderful and the breakfasts are amazing. Be aware that the stairs are somewhat steep... More

Just returned from a stay here last week. Where do I start? There are so many excellent qualities to cite. First, the location is prime. Close to Dam Sq., Jordaan, the train station and many tram/bus stops. Amenities in the room include hair dryer, iron, espresso machine, hot water pot for tea, big absorbent towels, and, of course (it's April!),... More
