Hi there i dont normaly write reviews for places we have been to but this time i felt compelled to do so as it was so good.
I went with my husband for 4 nights and from the min we arrived we were treated well. We stayed in the suite grand sahara which was amazing. It had everything u could ask for 2 tvs one in bedroom up stairs one in sitting area. Also a list of over 1000 dvds 2 choose from. High speed internet free 2 use 24hrs a day. Complimentary nibbles and sodas stocked up daily. Tea and coffee facillities aswell oh and a jaccuzie bath with shower over it downstairs and a shower and en suite up stairs. Everything u could possibly need for a break away was there even umbrellas if it started to rain. slippers dressing gown, shampoo, shower gel, even cotton buds.
The most favourable thing for us the lovely breakfasts that aziz makes out of this world and what better way to have it than waking up in the morning to sheer luxury!!!
Last but not least was the hosts peter and aziz they were so nice and the attention to detail was good. Peter is cool and down to earth and aziz is just a honey. We really enjoyed having breakfast with them in the morning. They even took a photo and put it in a frame for us took take home, plus 3 cuddly toys for a girls back home.
First class wouldnt consider staying anywhere else when we come back to amsterdam

My husband and I added a trip to Amsterdam onto a visit with friends in Iceland. Based on the excellent reviews here, we chose the Safari Suite at Suite 259. We loved seeing Amsterdam and Delft, but we both doubt we'd have enjoyed our trip as much if it hadn't been for the warm welcome and personal attention at Suite 259.

You just can't beat a local's recommendations on what to see, what to skip, where to eat, etc. When we mentioned a side trip to Delft, Peter printed out the train schedule for us. The morning of our departure, he had all the train and flight info printed for us, also. Breakfasts were restaurant-worthy feasts. We chose to trust Aziz (good choice) on the menu, but he would gladly have tailored breakfast to our tastes.

We also liked the location (outside the hustle of the tourist center, but in a safe area and conveniently located to tram stops and major attractions) and the suite itself. It had tv/movies (not important to us), computer with internet connection, stocked mini-fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer, every comfort or convenience we could want. One recent addition (not shown in the pictures on the website) is a jacuzzi tub. After a long day walking to see the sights, that was most welcome.

My boyfriend and I have just arrived back from a lovely long weekend in Amsterdam, where, despite the hideous weather, we had a wonderful stay, so we just had to recommend Suite 259 to others!

Within easy walking distance from the centre, Suite 259 is situated above a boutique wedding dress shop and on arrival it is apparent straight away that it is a bed and breakfast with a difference. The Grand Sahara room (as big as our London flat!) is over two stories - with a spiral staircase joining a cosy lounge / kitchen area with a beautiful bedroom. Two bathrooms (one with a huge jacuzzi bath) and a pretty terrace completed the picture.

On our arrival, a complimentary bottle of wine and nibbles greeted us and we were informed that a feast of shrimps & eggs would be ready for us at 9.30 the next morning (breakfast in this place is out of this world!). We just knew that, despite the forecasted snow / rain / wind storms that were expected to hit Amsterdam for the duration of our stay, that we would have still enjoy and recharge our batteries, because we had the perfect retreat to come back to every day after being pelted with Dutch hail stones!

A must for any couple visiting Amsterdam for a short romantic break, we will definitely be going back. No where have we stayed somewhere with such attention to detail and awareness of guests needs.

My sister and I try to meet once a year in a European city; since we live far apart, our outings are always special occasions and as a rule we stay at unusual, high-quality accommodation with that bit of extra personal attention - this time we had chosen Amsterdam and - in view of all the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor - decided to stay at Suite 259.
We were not disappointed.
The room we were given was beautifully appointed and tastefully furnished and painted to the highest of standards with lots of attention to detail and gorgeous murals on the walls (painted by Aziz). It was also impeccably clean. I was welcomed through the wedding dress shop entrance (not to be missed, the robes on display are exceptional and very well made and indeed reasonably priced considering their Haute Couture quality, oh to be young again!), the fridge was full of complimentary soft drinks, there were chocolates and nibblers and plenty of biscuits on the coffee table, daily refills of soft drinks and sweets were an unexpected bonus - as was the complimentary bottle of South African red wine.
Breakfast was outstanding on all occasions - freshly squeezed orange juice followed by a selection of fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes and melon as well as mango), exciting stir fries and Dutch pancakes which reminded us of crèpe.
Not only were the hosts pleasant and really, really friendly, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and very much at home. On our departure, my sister was given a lunch box and we both received some little cuddly toys, little green giraffes, very cute.

Amsterdam is a very walkable city - make sure to follow the hosts' advice as regards restaurants - stay away from the Italian (Fiorentino) restaurant on Overtoom and definitely go to Proef, a Dutch bar with very good food /"pub grub" (scallops and filet of beef), nice house wine and a selection of Dutch beers. The tram stop is close to the B&B.
The only downside of Suite 259 is a busy road (room very quiet when the window is closed) and a faint smell of cigarette smoke which did not bother us too much in view of all the other details.
Do not miss the Concertgebouw - to my mind the best concert hall in the world with its fantastic conductor in residence - also: the quality of Amsterdam opera (singers and orchestra alike) is outstanding - we experienced a memorable production of Mozart's "Entführung" under the promising and dynamic conductor Constantinos Carydis.
The additional beauty of Suite 259 is its vicinity to all the major museums and the Concertgebouw making it THE Amsterdam destination for lovers of classical music and museums. Thank you very much indeed Peter and Aziz for making us feel so much at home.
