Anyone with significant mobility issues, just be aware, the spiral staircase to access the room is narrow and steep. But we’re no spring chickens and we’re fine. I was very worried about the toilet not being in the room, and I guess I would have preferred one in the room, but do you know, it was absolutely fine (and private) even for night-time visits.

The location was superb. The room was stylish and super comfortable, with access to and seating in the most delightful garden. (Who guessed those iconic Canalside houses had gardens!) The ensuite shower/wash room was well-equipped, nice towels and toiletries. The room had all one could need, fridge, kettle, hairdrier, tv etc. Marc was helpfulness and charm exemplified; very easy to communicate with. He was very keen to help us navigate and enjoy Amsterdam, with directions and recommendations. Oh and the room was super quiet and peaceful; we slept like logs!

We wished we had booked for longer

Marc is an excellent, exceptionally thoughtful host, and this room is a wee gem in this peaceful, historic part of the city. The huge bed and feather pillows are the stuff of dreams and we loved relaxing in the lush back garden. Marc provided recommendations for travel, places to visit and where to eat and made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. The building itself is from the 17th century with breathtaking bas-reliefs in the entrance hall, commissioned by the building's first owner for his wife.

Although there was a big bathroom with a big shower and 2 sinks, for structural reasons, the toilet couldn't be inserted in the bathroom, so we had to use a toilet outside the bedroom, always clean.

The location was very good, within walking distance of quite a few sights and supermarkets and eating places. It was very quiet and it gave away unto a very nice secluded garden with a table and 2 chairs under a small covered area. The host was very friendly and informative and helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht during my visit to Amsterdam, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of the city, it's within walking distance of all the main attractions, making exploring Amsterdam a breeze. Whether you're strolling along the picturesque canals, visiting world-class museums, or sampling delicious local cuisine, everything is conveniently close by. Upon arrival, I was delighted to find that the accommodation is incredibly easy to reach from the airport, allowing for a seamless transition into the city. The host warmly welcomed me and provided helpful tips and recommendations for my stay, ensuring I made the most of my time in Amsterdam. One of the highlights of my stay was the charming backdoor garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets. With direct access from my room, I enjoyed relaxing in the garden with a cup of coffee in the morning. While the toilet not being en suite could be considered a minor inconvenience, the host went above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs. Although the private toilet is located on the upper floor, the host graciously allowed access to another toilet on the same floor as the room during the night, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout my stay. Overall, my experience at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht was nothing short of delightful. From its prime location and friendly host to its charming garden oasis, it truly embodies the essence of Amsterdam's charm. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a memorable stay in this vibrant city.

Great location, walking distance to both museum district and central. Room is set in a beautiful traditional house directly overlooking a canal. Bed was well equipped with a bed, double sink shower room, TV, fridge and courtyard garden (perfect for a morning coffee). Marc was a great host- plenty of tips for the city and super food/drinks recommendations. Highly recommended.

The pillows were a little too low but did not impact our stay.

Loved everything about our stay. Lovely room with everything you need. The host was amazing and very welcoming. Beautiful garden, king-sized bed.

Marc, the host, is extremely welcoming and very helpful. The room is a great size and a very open style, whilst being very comfortable. It is situated close to the centre and some main attraction. It is also just a short walk to metro and tram lines connecting you to most of the city. I couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere for my stay, nor a better host.

Everything was wonderful, we tried to book again for later in our trip but unsurprisingly the Empiric is fully booked.

Marc was extremely friendly and helpful but we had complete privacy. He offered some tips for Amsterdam and kindly allowed us to leave our bags on our last day. The garden was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. The house is grand and in a beautiful position on the canal. The bed was very comfortable. The toilet being upstairs is fine, it is only for the flat and is private.

Location. Bed. Garden. Comfort.

The only thing to put a note on is that the very nice bathroom did not include a toilet. But it wasn’t too big of a problem.

The host contacted us personally before the arrival and once we got there he gave us an immediate tour of the facility. Extremely nice and we felt very welcomed. The apartment was so nice, nothing was missing, and the outside space was probably our favorite. Thank you for having us Marc! :)

Excellent location, walking distance from landmarks, restaurants and everything worth visiting in Amsterdam, very quiet at night, very spacious which is hard to find in town. I had a special request and the host went above and beyond to make it happen which I really appreciate.

The charm of property Great location Garden

I didn’t realise that it was a B & B which was my fault for not reading the description properly which wasn’t really a problem except for the toilet, which isn’t private and it doesn’t state that in the description. The toilet is on another floor which you get to using a very narrow spiral staircase or you can use the owner’s toilet on the same floor as your room which felt very uncomfortable.

Very good location, extremely friendly and helpful host. Nice sized room with a courtyard and a very comfy bed. Having a coffee machine in the room is a bonus.

There is no air conditioning, but the weather is acceptable

It gives you a feeling that your from the people of the country and not a visitor, amazing

No toilet in bathroom. our toilet was upstairs, we had access to hosts toilet in his kitchen during the night to save going up a very small spiral staircase. we felt a little uncomfortable using host toilet.

Excellent location, very friendly and informative host. room was lovely, really comfortable bed. Bonus was beautiful courtyard garden, lovely to sit out in. Bathroom was lovely big shower and his and her sinks. only downside was no toilet.
