Herengracht 21 Bed & Breakfast

Amsterdam

We stayed 2 nights in the Canal Room and would have loved to stay longer.  Our room was comfortable, clean, quiet and had a fabulous view of the canal.  It was rainy during our visit and it was delightful to relax in our cozy room.  By European standards, both the bedroom and bathroom were huge.  The hosts were friendly and very helpful/accommodating.  Breakfast was hearty and tasty.  
In our opinion, the B&B is in a perfect location.  It's only a couple blocks from the train station and a short taxi ride from the cruise ship terminal.  There are lots of good restaurants nearby.   Sites in the Jordan district (such as Anne Frank House) are easily accessible, as well as the other main tourist areas in Amsterdam.  We walked everywhere from the B&B, including to the Maritime Museum, the Jewish Quarter, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum,  Dam Square and the Dutch Resistance Museum.  Also, Amsterdam can be a very busy city, filled to overcapacity with visitors like ourselves, and what a delight it was to return to this quiet, peaceful oasis.  We hope to be back soon!

Delightful oasis in a busy city

The friendly guests were kind enough to find us a room after a mistake of our booking.

very welcome

One of my fave b&b's ever in over 20 years of staying in them. Super nice couple. Best location in all of Amsterdam. Minutes from the train station yet quiet (at the very beginning of the canal). The Jordaan area is right on your doorstep. I stayed in the Canal House. Quiet and comfy. Great breakfast too.


great little corner of Amsterdam

Can't imagine a better place to stay in Amsterdam. Perfect location, wonderful hosts. Excellent breakfast.  Quiet, clean, comfortable rooms. Bike rental very close by. I didn't want to leave! I stayed in the "back house" which has a living space downstairs and bedroom and bathroom upstairs (attic). It felt so much like home I got to the point where I was bringing my food back to eat in and the people are so nice I just wanted to hang with them.

No better place to stay in Amsterdam.

This historic home is located a few short blocks from Central Station and is on the Herengracht canal. It is close to shopping and you can easily walk to historic attractions, museums, cafes, shopping and because you are so close to the train station, you can walk to catch a train or the Metro to other villages or towns.  Our hosts were lovely and you meet other guests at breakfast and compare notes on things to see. Very reasonably priced. This was my third time staying at this B & B

Historic home in a great location

We stayed, for 3 nights, in this beautiful 16th century house with exquisite decoration. Excellent location, 5 minutes from Central Station. You can access it by walking to any of the city's attractions. The owners have been very kind, attentive to all our needs. The breakfasts are very complete. The room is very spacious, with fabulous views over the canal. I recommend it 100% and will definitely thank Henry and Loes again for making our stay in your beautiful home so beautiful.

What a marvel!!

We booked this hotel twice - had to cancel back in 2021 due to COVID. Rebooked as soon as we were able to do so. Our stay was worth the wait.
The Canal Room is located in an historic building . Typical of these homes, access is up a spiral stairway to a room that held many delights. The decorations included art work, a collection of dolls, figurines, bookshelves full of art books and more, a sofa, desk and chair, and a comfortable bed. We needed the bed after our long flight to get to Amsterdam.
Our hostess got us comfortable situated and let us unwind.
The next morning were were treated to a breakfast which included cook to order eggs, plus an array of breads, cheeses, meats, yogurt, cereals...all anyone would need.
With a map in hand we explored the wonderful canals of Amsterdam for the next three days. What an exciting city. What a wonderful place to come home to each night after exploring and visiting museums.
We highly recommend this B&B!

Canal Room Delight

My Mom and I stayed several nights including Kings Day Eve and Kings Day. Hosts are onsite, wonderfully responsive, and speak excellent English. We stayed in the Canal Room and had a front row seat for the boat parade. The room was charming, comfortable and clean. Yes, the stairs are tight and winding. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Less than 10 minutes by foot from Centraal Station, super convenient connection to anywhere in Amsterdam and the whole of the Netherlands. Highly recommend.

True Canal House Experience

This B&B is a great value (and in high demand so plan to book early) and is nicely located, just an easy 10-15 minute walk from Central Station, overlooking the Herengracht canal.   There are many restaurants nearby and bike rental.     

We booked a canal side room here a year in advance during COVID, and were continually monitoring travel restrictions and testing requirements as our trip date approached.   The  friendly owners, Loes and Ton, were very helpful in responding to our inquiries as our travel date approached, and went beyond the call of duty assisting us with assuring we were able to timely complete Covid testing to return back to the States.   Thank you!

We arrived in Amsterdam early following a river cruise for a 2 day stay, and were able to drop off our luggage around 8:30 am, and then set off to rent bikes and sight see, and accessed our room in the afternoon.   Our canal side room was very quiet, and spacious with a comfortable Queen bed and a nice shower, large TV with many channels, fast internet connection, and more.   I think the the residence may originate from the 1600s (?), and reveals many unique, historic features, and is now quite modern in amenities and nicely decorated.   There is a unique spiral staircase to access the upper levels and rooms.  Adjacent to the first level kitchen/dining area is a separate fridge for guests to store wine or other items, and an area with tourist information (maps, restaurant information etc.).

Breakfast was ample, with a variety of fruits (bananas, oranges, grapes, strawberries, apples, avocados, and more), variety of breads, butter, couple of Dutch cheeses, coffee, juice, eggs and bacon all cooked up to order by Loes.  Delicious!  On the day of our departure home, we had to leave before 7:00 am, so we very much appreciated a "to go" breakfast Loes set out and we took along with us. 

Loes and Ton always seemed accessible if we had questions on things to do or needed any other guidance.  We were very satisfied with our stay, and highly recommend and would definitely stay at Herengracht 21 B&B again.

We could not have asked for more!

Our family booked the back room which consisted of a sitting room with sofa bed and an upstairs bedroom with bath. We were right on a canal in the city center and were able to walk to all the major museums and sites. Loes was very helpful with our reservations and the fresh-squeased orange juice and croissants for breakfast were amazing. We were required to get covid tests the day before flying home. Most of the testing centers were closed down. Loes arranged for a private testing company to come to us! If you want to experience a traditional Dutch B and B, this is the place. It does have steep stairs, but worth the climb.
