The Collector B&B

We just spent five nights at The Collector and just loved the place. There are only two rooms, each with its own bathroom. There is a fully equipped, shared kitchen for breakfasts and self-catering, with everything one could want for breakfast provided by the very considerate host. The place is full of collections, as the name implies, and the decor is quirky and amusing, but in excellent taste and impeccably clean. Everything has been considered, right down to the provision of spare toothbrushes, slippers and robes and a personalized concierge app that was incredibly useful for visiting the city. The Collector offers discounts on various tours and at several eateries and the host is able to provide invaluable advice about Amsterdam and how to make the most of your stay. We would not hesitate to recommend The Collector and look forward to our next stay!

The most special place I have stayed in Amsterdam! Such a lovely homely feel to the place, owner was very kind and friendly. Great location if you want peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam centre.

Nice room, good connection with the Tram to the City and also to the Park and ride Sloterdyk

Very Nice place for 2 or 3 night tourist visit to Amsterdam

Great place to stay owner very nice and attentive warm rooms with nice bathrooms attached

Close to museums and trams. Helpful owner and own kitchen

Excelente B&B en Ámsterdam. A un paseo de museos Van Gogh y Rijksmuseu, y muy bien comunicado con el centro de la ciudad (tranvía en la puerta). Cómodo y con acceso a cocina equipada. En la placita cercana, detrás del B&B, restaurante italiano recomendable.

La pulizia lascia a desiderare; il rapporto qualità/prezzo non è molto conveniente

I absolutely LOVED this place. It has charm and is tucked far enough away that it's quiet but you can still walk perhaps 20 minutes and be at the train station. If you enjoy walking to see the sights, this is a great place to stay. The owner, Karel, is incredibly nice and stocks his fridge with fresh cheeses, eggs, and drinks for you to make breakfast daily. Yes, you make your own breakfast so it's not a traditional B&B in that sense, but you can also use the kitchen to cook your own meals at night or reheat a meal. What really drew me to this place, however, is where the name comes from. Karel is a collector of all sorts of antiques, from dolls to perfume bottles to books to shot glasses. Every nook and cranny is on display with his finds. If you love vintage, this place is absolutely for you. Karel also owns some chickens out back which did crow in the morning, so if that bothers you request the room at the front of the house. I was in the back room so I could hear them, but it was never so loud as to wake me up. The chickens actually supply the eggs in the fridge if they've laid any recently, so that's always a plus. Fresh eggs!

This place is wonderful! Really conveniently located in the heart of Amsterdam with public transport right across the street. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed chilling on our balcony and watching the chickens in the back yard. The owner of the establishment is really friendly and brought us flowers. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast as a convenient and restful place to stay.

Great location! Karel, the host very helpful. Only 3 rooms but interesting guests. Kitchen well stocked to make your own perfect breakfast. Request garden facing room.

Have stayed here twice and headed back again. Location is so close to museums, transportation, great food, groceries - even concert hall. Karel is the gracious host. Rooms are comfortable, clean, always flowers! Kitchen is a dream What else to say!
