We stayed at Suite 259 for three nights in mid-May, and booked this based on the positive reviews here.
I have stayed at many B and B’s in the US and Canada, and although I had high expectations, Suite 259 exceeded them. This was my fiancé’s 1st experience at a B and B, so staying here was a great way to introduce him. We arrived at 7am very tired after an overseas flight, and Peter greeted us warmly, helped us with our luggage and had our room ready for us. We stayed in the Safari suite, and were pleased to see such a generous sized room, with a well-stocked refrigerator of beverages, also complimentary fruit and candies provided, a very comfortable bed, and every amenity one can think of. When we returned from our sightseeing and I was ready to hop into bed, I realized that I had forgotten my robe and slippers, but not to worry, it was provided for us. An umbrella waits in the hallway if it is raining. Need a good hair dryer? They also provided it. If you want to say hello to friends and family at home, a complimentary Internet service was also available in the room, which was a very nice touch. An extensive and impressive DVD collection was also available, which we did not utilize because we were too exhausted from sightseeing.
Aziz made delicious breakfasts and each day we stayed, we looked forward to them. My fiancé and I have different dietary requirements and Aziz fulfilled both of these. They also helped us with our travel plans and came up with suggestions for dinner (you most likely won’t need lunch as you will be full from breakfast!) chatted with us at breakfast, and made us feel very comfortable in Suite 259 and our visit to Amsterdam.
The location is in a residential neighborhood, within walking distance to museums, a beautiful park and many nearby restaurants. For those who choose to take the tram, it is very convenient to a tram stop.
I would not hesitate to stay here again if we visit Amsterdam. We will recommend this to friends and family and anyone else who wants to visit Amsterdam. At this point there are two suites available, so it is well advised to make reservations here well in advance.
