Collector

Top choice in Amsterdam


This lovely B&B has two immaculate, spacious rooms with large windows, each furnished with its own museum-style display of clocks, wooden clogs and antiques collected by the owner, Karel. Each room also features a balcony and TV, and the kitchen is well stocked for guests to prepare breakfast (the eggs come from Karel's hens in the garden).

The kitchen is open all day if you want to cook your own dinner. There are also a couple of bikes available for hire (€10 per day).
