We had a fantastic 5-day stay in Suite 259 in June 2007. We came across Suite 259 on Trip Advisor and every single review was on the mark.
We stayed in the Safari suite which is so well equipped that it feels like home! It has a comfortable king-sized bed, air-conditioned, (free) internet access, a large TV, a DVD player with access to 1000 movie titles (yes, their movie library has grown!), a large wardrobe, hairdryer, a mini kitchenette with a microwave oven and a fridge full of complimentary drinks; and a bathroom that not only has a tub, shower but a Jacuzzi as well! The room is also well insulated that you can hardly hear the traffic on Overtoom street.
Suite 259 is well located. It is 2 mins walk away from Vondelpark and a 10 mins walk to the museums (Van Gogh, Rjiks). Tram 1 will take you directly from Centraal Station directly to Suite 259. Tram 1 also brings you from Suite 259 to the Dam Square in 10 mins or alternatively you can walk there in about 20 mins, passing Leidseplein, the picturesque canals of Prinsengracht, Keizergracht and Herengracht and the shopping street of Kalverstraat.
Aziz and Peter were the perfect hosts and Aziz cooked up the most delightful breakfast every morning. Peter was already awake at 6.30 am to welcome us after we landed in the early hours of the morning! Both of them took the trouble to make sure every part of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They would suggest places to visit when we meet up for breakfast every morning and Peter even provided us with the timetables of trains leaving Centraal Station to Delft and The Hague.
Suite 259 is a fantastic place to stay if you are considering a visit to Amsterdam and Aziz and Peter are the best hosts you can ever get. We would recommend this place and would definitely stay here if we are ever to return to Amsterdam.
