My boyfriend and I stayed in the Kuinder Room while visiting Amsterdam. Although somewhat out of the main part of the city, it was in an excellent location (near tram lines) that was very quiet, and near many restaurants and shops. Tram lines into town were only a 5 minute walk away and although about 15-20 minutes into town, it is a good way to familiarize yourself with the city.

The room itself was neat and clean and the bed was very comfortable! Although it was a B&B there was a lot of privacy as the owner lives on the next floor up. The website said that the double bed in Kuinder Room is small but we found it fine for two people.

Each morning breakfast was left for us in the kitchen (meats, cheese, bread, fruit, juice, milk, coffee and eggs) and we could get it ourselves when we were ready - no early wake up time if you want to eat! We were also allowed to use the kitchen facilities ourselves to store and cook anything else we bought.

Our host was very kind and extremely helpful. He gave us city guides, tram schedules, maps, and inside tips on places to go. He also let us print off online tickets.

Kuinder Room was definitely a fantastic place to stay on our trip - even when we got food poisoning and had to stay in bed our entire last day!

I'd definitely recommend this B&B to anyone wanting a clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay that is not in the busy city centre.

The garden suite at the BBIJ is a wonderful place for a reasonable price. The room is spacious with a large bathroom. Tina, the Inn keeper, was very friendly and extremely helpful with various reservations and information. The only negative thing would be the bed, the mattress was very broken down and uncomfortable and the bed frame was very loud. Note: when you arrive don't look for a sign for the BBIJ, just look for the address (downstairs). We initially thought we were in the wrong place. I think with a new bed this would be the ultimate place to stay in Amsterdam, it is in a good location directly across from a tram line that goes into town.

Management response from AmsterdamResident, owner
(Management representative)
Apr 26, 2008
We at BB IJ are very concerned about our facilities and service and appreciate all feedback. We had not previously gotten any reviews on the bed in the Garden suite. The bed frame is English Art Deco and the mattrass was relatively new. So with keen interest, we tested the bed and made some changes. We have since asked the guests about the bed and they have all said the matrass was quite comfortable and provided a good night's rest.
