I chose the Fort Amsterdam because of the location, price, and size - a 2-room B&B overlooking a canal, centrally-located, reasonable rates. I'd read a couple of glowing reviews and thought the website pictures were charming, but I can honestly say I didn't expect it to be as wonderful as it was.

The owners, Berry and Marcel, know it's about the details. The chocolates on the pillow, the Benetton robes, the tiny Christmas tree and lights right in the room, the adjustable heater next to the bed, the soft drinks and beer in the room's small refrigerator, the variety of personal grooming products in the bathroom (which, although shared, was always impeccably clean), just to name a few, and I haven't even mentioned breakfast. Every morning we had a choice of assorted fresh breads, warm croissants, spreads, fruit, cereal, snacks to go (which we really appreciated!). The refrigerator, whose contents, as we were told, were available to us 24/7, always contained cheeses, meats, pates, yogurt, milk, the MOST amazing fresh orange juice, soft drinks, even beer and wine. As if that weren't enough, there was always something special awaiting us at our breakfast table - hard-boiled eggs, or fresh pineapple, or tiny pancake & strawberry skewers (yummy), or fruit salad. Did I mention the coffee? They have a DeLonghi Magnifica Super Automatic coffee maker always at your disposal. Truly the Rolls Royce of coffee makers. Coffee will never taste the same!

We were lucky enough to be there for New Year's Eve - when we returned to the room in the early evening, we found a bottle of champagne on ice with 2 glass flutes, and a bowl of warm oliebollen (traditional New Year's Dutch treat). We celebrated the stroke of midnight on the canal bridge in front of the b&b, under a canopy of fireworks along with most of Amsterdam it seemed (Nieuwmarkt is famous for its firework displays). Our New Year's day breakfast included scrambled eggs, bacon, and lox and cream cheese baguette sandwiches.

I can't say enough about Berry and Marcel. Sweet, helpful, generous, unobtrusive, totally cool guys. For sure, you can't go wrong staying at Fort Amsterdam. Enjoy!

This B&B is amazing.

It is set in the perfect location, on a canal about two roads away from the centre of the red light district. It wasn't too close to everywhere, so you could get to sleep at night, but it literally took 3 minutes to be in the centre of Amsterdam.

The room was very spacious, had a flat screen television and a selection of DVD's, great to come back to after a night out. It even had a small terrace.

The owner, Berry (?), was very very sweet and helpful, when we arrived he gave us a map of the city and told us if we had any queries he'd be happy to help. He also let us choose roughly what time we'd want breakfast, so it tied in with our plans for the day. The breakfast was always well-presented and tasted great! Also, it was different everyday, with buns, bread a toaster etc available at all times of the day.

The only negative I can think of (and I really am scraping the barrel here) was that we had to share a bathroom. But there is only one other room. And we must have seen the other couple about 3 times for our entire stay. It was never an issue in the slightest.

Overall, a great place, I can't believe we paid such a low amount for such a lovely place. I would definitely recommend it and will almost definitely go back someday!

  • Liked — The room - spacious, tidy, attractive, cosy. I could go on and on.
  • Disliked — Ah! Can't pick anything, sorry.

We went to Amsterdam over a long weekend in September. We'd never been to the city before, but found this B&B to have a great location (walking distance from the main train station) and very friendly owners. Barry was happy to have many conversations with us about things to do in the city, and gave us many "insider" suggestions that were invaluable to a first-time visitor. The breakfast was fresh each morning, with fresh fruit and breads from the local market. The room was small, but cozy, and had a nice view over the canal. We would definitely stay here again. For the price, it's a steal!
