A wonderful property with the perfect location: overlooking a canal and right next to one of the city's main roads, perhaps a hundred feet from the No4 tram, allowing you access to everywhere! And the owner was endlessly friendly and helpful, always happy to run into you and hear about your day or help you with luggage. Definitely a place I'd love to stay again, if I ever return to Amsterdam.

Jesse United States of America

First of all, the host is very nice. He’s pleasant to work with directly, and did his best to accommodate us. I don’t really think any of my negative comments below apply to him. THE PLACE IS GREAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. Location is good, multiple cafes, pubs, and public transit nearby. There’s even a park a block and a half away. Also...the view from the room is awesome!

Daniel Germany

Everything there was nothing I didn’t like the location, the ambience, the bathroom, The owner access to public transportation the view of the Canal.

Judith United States of America

Beautiful view, lots of air, close to so many things, Wilker is a great host, and it was just the perfect convenient and cool home base for my trip. The outside picture I’m attaching is a view of the Rijksmuseum from a spot about half a block away.

John United States of America

This property is a bit quirky but that is true of most "local" accommodations and it was so worth it. Great location and view. Don't be deterred by one of the bedrooms having an exterior private bathroom. The entrance to the bathroom was at the top of the stairs, right next to the bedroom and very private. We loved it. The bathroom was HUGE--better than any hotel--with a nice big walk in shower, large tub, and two sinks.

Ursula United States of America

Great balcony overlooking the canal. Everything you need within walking distance.

Roman Czech Republic

Willem our host was very welcoming and answered all queries about public transport and activities to do in the area. I was pleased we were given more than 1 pillow each and they supplied enough bathroom amenities and towels to last our 5 day stay. Room was cosy with a TV facing the bed and you could sign into your own Netflix/Prime Video accounts. The fairy lights around the windows created a lovely ambience at night time with a great view of the canal.

It was a wonderful first stay in Amsterdam that we had! Willem was very warm, available for any questions or any problem! His kindness touched us, and we felt right at home. The location of the room is just amazing, with a wonderful view of the city canals. We would have liked to stay indefinitely, because Amsterdam is truly a relaxing city, and the locals are welcoming to everyone. We recommend this B&B, don't hesitate, go for it! We will come back, that's for sure! Thank you for everything!

Company info

We like to travel, therefore we have stayed in numerous B&B's around the world. We believe that a stay in a B&B should be personal, comfortable, chique, and also for a good price. We are easy going guys, and would like to meet you!

Property info

Our guest room overlooks the Prinsengracht. ABBAmsterdam is ideally located in the middle of Amsterdam’s historic city center, next to Amstelveld. “I love the Amstelveld: a picturesque square with a small 17th century wooden church.

Neighborhood info

Our guest room is located in a beautiful neighborhood just a few doors from many restaurants, markets, cafés and bars at the Prinsengracht 1049. We are just 5 minutes walk from Rembrandplein, Amstel, Skinny Bridge, and almost 15 minutes from Leidseplein and Rijksmuseum. Although in the very heart of old Amsterdam, this neighborhood is quiet and safe.
