I loved my stay at Sunhead of 1617. The location is ideal, the room was great, and the breakfast divine. Carlos is a wonderful host - so warm and funny. This B&B cannot be beat. If you come to Amsterdam, stay at Sunhead. You won't be disappointed!

Sunhead is a great B&B. It is VERY conveniently located in Amsterdam, only a 15 minute walk from the train station is a nice quiet neighborhood. The 3 course breakfasts prepared by Carlos were scrumptious! Only drawback are the steep stairs but the lovely rooms and view were worth it.

We also loved the location - really in the heart of Amsterdam, but not noisy at... More

Fantastic location on a quite canal in downtown Amsterdam. Quaint and comfortable rooms but best of all the hospitality and superb breakfasts, freshly cooked by Carlos who was a wealth of information and very kind and considerate.

Everything about this Bed & Breakfast was top of the line, the breakfast was outstanding with choices of different sweet spreads, variations of scrambled eggs (do you like black truffels???), fresh smoothie and pannini. We also enjoyed the hilarious and captivating stories Carlos liked to share with us over breakfast time and ended up sitting in the kitchen way longer... More

This was our first trip to Amsterdam, and to stay at Sunhead 1617 was the perfect choice. From the moment we arrived, tired from the long trip, we were made to feel very welcome. Roelf-Jan made us tea so we could relax before heading off to see the market, etc. The cat was sunning herself in a chair by the... More

The stay in this wonderful B&B made our trip to Amsterdam a longterm, unforgettable, overall super city enjoy. The excellent breakfast pushed us through the first hours of the day.

My husband and I stayed for 7 nights at this fantastic B&B. The charming owners Carlos and Roelf-Jan really made this visit special. The beautiful location on Herengracht canal was amazing. We walked everywhere, to the Central station, all city sights, and Jordaan neighborhood. The rooms and the design of the B&B are beautiful and tasteful. The room was spotless,... More

We stayed for three nights at the B&B Sunhead. Besides this years special "Queensday", Carlos and Roelf made our time in Amsterdam a really wonderful and unforgettable experience. The fabulous and creative breakfasts prepared by Carlos gave every day a perfect start. Our Narcissus room was very comfortable but it had also the typical charm of the old canal houses... More
