Amsterdam at its best

Think of Amsterdam and you picture the canals glinting, the narrow gables shoulder to shoulder, a bike leaning against a bridge railing. But the loveliest way to get to know the city is not from a hotel chain: it is in someone’s home, in a bed & breakfast where the host welcomes you as if you have come to visit.

Every neighbourhood has its own tone. The centre with its canal ring and hidden courtyards, creative North across the IJ, green East with its islands on the water, the elegant streets of Oud-Zuid and the lively buzz of De Pijp and the Jordaan. Everywhere you will find small-scale B&Bs, from a suite in a historic canal house to a cabin on a houseboat.

No two B&Bs are the same, and that is exactly the charm. You taste the owner’s personality in the interior, in the breakfast, in the tip for that one café around the corner. On BBAmsterdam you find them all together, with honest reviews and a direct link to the owner. So you book without commission, at the best price, and support the people who truly know the city.

Frequently asked questions about Amsterdam B&Bs

What is a bed & breakfast in Amsterdam?

A bed & breakfast is a small-scale stay in a host’s home, often with just a few rooms. In Amsterdam they range from a suite in a canal house to a cabin on a houseboat. You stay more personally than in a hotel and get local tips from the owner.

Why book a B&B instead of a hotel?

A B&B is more personal, often better value, and you support a local owner rather than a chain. On BBAmsterdam you book directly with the B&B, commission-free, so at the best price.

Which neighbourhood is best to book a B&B in Amsterdam?

It depends on your trip. The centre is ideal for a first visit, Oud-Zuid for the museums, De Pijp and the Jordaan for atmosphere, and North and East for calm by the water. On our neighbourhood pages you compare by area.

Can you sleep on a houseboat in Amsterdam?

Yes. Amsterdam has dozens of houseboat B&Bs, with their own deck terrace and views over the water. See our page on sleeping on a houseboat for the full selection.
