We just returned from a three night stay at Maes. True to it's reputation, we had a wonderful time. The rooms were great, but the hospitality was even better. Vlad was a terrific host, and he has quite a keen sense of humor and is really great fun to listen to.

The morning breakfasts were great. Fresh croissants, rolls, bread, butter, jam, jellies, tea & coffee, dutch pancakes, coffee cakes, breakfast cakes, cheese, ham .... you get the picture. All served in a communal kitchen where you can start the day talking and sharing your experiences with the other guests over a great breakfast. It was really a nice way to start the day.

The neighborhood is very upscale and located between several canals. Vlad gave us a great restaurant tip that turned out to be the best dinner of our trip, which included five days in Paris. Hard to believe, but true!

I cannot say enough good things about our short stay. When we return to Amsterdam, there is only one place we will stay...Maes B&B.

If anyone has any questions I can help with, please feel free to ask!

We stayed at Maes B&B for the Queens Day celebrations. The attic room was spacious, with great views and even had fresh flowers. Ken and Vlad (as well as their staff) where friendly and helpful and their suggestion of venturing out to the Keukenhof gardens became one of the highlights of our trip. The breakfast was outstanding and although the B&B was fully booked it was very quiet (in fact we hardly saw any of the other guests during our three day visit). I would have no hesitation in recommending this B&B to anyone planning a trip to Amserdam.

my friend recommended Maes.. it was perfect. i was on business - Ken and Vlad were so kind. The delicious Thai food from next door was devine... and the great wine store on the corner. i slept so well and was thrilled to have an apartment to spread out in as i worked and relaxed in the evening.
they coudln't have made me feel more at home. it's perfectly situated for the best part of town.
i can't wait to return.. and the new hot tub and roof deck for the summer - what could be better.
the breakfasts were so tasty, fresh coffee, fresh everything - very refreshing service and attitutude. i want to keep it a secret, but i promised to write so i am... hope to see you soon guys...
peace and love, Janie x

This is the second year I have spent a week at the Maes B&B in Amsterdam and I love it so much I plan to be back there next year and the year after, etc. The hosts Ken and Vlad are excellent at what they do. They care for their guests and have a wonderful staff as well to make this cozy home away from home a truly fine place to stay. It is centrally located, within walking distance of Central Station so easy to get to and from Schipol Airport. The neighborhood is trendy with lots of interesting shops and cafes and more than enough restaurants to choose from. Also it is within easy reach for canal cruises and tour companies for alternative destinations and activities while in Amsterdam. Accomodations are clean and comfortable with some having access to patios and outside terraces as well. This is a place I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants good value and good accomodations in one of the best neighborhoods in Amsterdam!

We can not say enough great things about our stay at Maes B & B. Everything was amazing. Our room was clean, bright and cozy. The bath was pampering and soothing after walking in Amsterdam. The breakfast felt like grandmothers Sunday spread. Each morning we woke to the smell of freshly made pancakes. The staff, especially Jim, were always helpful and attentive to our needs. The hosts Vlad and Ken are very warm and outgoing. We instantly felt welcomed. We have traveled for the past 20 years and have always stayed in B & Bs. Maes is one our favorites! We can't wait to return to Amsterdam.
