Thebest2b

This B&B was very nice located in the amsterdam harbour area close to town by a short walk. You even can use bikes to extend your radius. The host was very pleasant and helpful in supporting our visit of Amsterdam. The interior is very exclusive and special while being warm and comfortable. Excellent choice to stay.

We arrived on our first visit to Amsterdam and stayed here for 2 nights. Paul is an incredible, thoughtful host welcoming us with his genuine smile. The room is clean, well furnished with a fully stocked refrigerator. His kindness extended to suggestions for meals, tours and even internet access!!! We are overwhelmed with his hospitality and we highly recommend his B & B, it has exceeded some of the 5 star hotels where we've stayed.

Een geweldig weekend in amsterdam gehad dankzij bed and breakfast thebest2b! Geweldige kamer, uitgebreid ontbijt, dankzij de eigenaar Paul een leuk privé boottochtje langs de grachten gehad, 2 fietsen gratis ter beschikking gekregen, in één woord : echt de beste bed and breakfast in Amsterdam!!!!!!!!! Werner en Karin, Antwerpen, Belgie

we had a excellent holiday, and the contribution of Paul and his apartment is great. The apartment is new, modern and comfortable and is conveniently located near the central station and one step away from downtown and breakfasts Paul better than many hotels in many stars. the bed is enormous and very comfortable, the bathroom is spacious and clean, lots of details such as soaps, movies .... thanks Paul, we've been very lucky! !

We had stayed in B and B's in Amsterdam before but never in anything like this one ! Everything about the place, refreshments etc exceeded our expectations and, if anything, Paul's hospitality was too generous as there was almost too much food for the breakfasts so we had to resort to eating some for dinner as well. Certainly during our stay it certainly lived up to its name of Thebest2b ! Thank you Paul Alan

We had a wonderful stay at Thebest2b! Paul is a perfect host, helpful in any way. The studio is excellent for two, the fridge fully filled with food. We enjoyed the smoked salmon and the carpaccio on the riverside with a nice white wine, all from Paul's fridge... One of the bikes had a puncture, but Paul was kind enough to lend us his own, so we could discover Amsterdam in the best thinkable way: on two wheels. In all: a most enjoyable stay, excellent value for money! Thanks again, Paul Jan and Karen from Belgium

thebest2b really is the best to be! Very nice room with luxurious bathroom and a great bed (special coco-mat bed). The fridge is filled with all kinds of delicious food and drinks (cheese, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, juice, wine, beer, ...) and there are different kinds of bread. The room is situated in a very pleasant and quiet environment (you don't hear a sound at night) and yet just a 15 minutes walk from the centre of the city. An indoor parking keeps your car safe. And last but not least, there are bikes at your disposal: the best way to visit Amsterdam. On top of all that the sun was shining during the whole of our stay. So I really can't think of anything less positive to say. We will surely return to thebest2B.

We had a very nice stay. As mentioned by other reviews the bed is great! Room was just as described and looked just like the photos. Our family had a very nice visit. We enjoyed all the breakfast treats as well. It was a great selection. The best part for our small kids was the super, cool, floating playground on the barges across the street. It was an easy walk to the train stations. There are not many places to eat in the few blocks nearby, however there are many choices about a 10-15 min. walk away. Parking was a great bonus as well!

Wij hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf in Thebest2b! Het appartement was zeer schoon en het bed sloep heerlijk! Bij binnenkomst lag de koelkast al vol met allerlei lekkernijen. Daarnaast hebben we genoten van een heerlijk bad in het ruime 2 persoonsbad. De leenfietsen zijn super; hiermee kun je heel Amsterdam verkennen en Paul gaf ons alle tijd om uit te checken. Dit kon zelfs 's middags. Wij raden iedereen Thebest2b aan bij een verblijf in Amsterdam

A charming wonderfull clean cosy quiet appartment just a few steps away from the central railway station of ams with the best bed in which you will dream your most wonderfull dream ever...!!! Paul really thought about everything and is a great host , very friendly and he had a lot of good tips that made our weekend in amsterdam unforgettable! Don,t look any futher, THIS is the place to be!!! Thanks a lot Paul, we'll be back soon!! Amina&Rob

We hadden een top weekend in het fijne B&B-appartement. Locatie was top, fietsen waren heel handig. Qua eten kwamen we absoluut niets tekort met een goed gevulde koelkast en lekkere broodjes. Kortom The best 2 be! Groeten, Yvonne

We hebben het echt fantastisch gehad hier. De B&B is heel gezellig ingericht. Het voelt als je eigen huiskamer. Goeie badkamer met een super bad en het bed is echt een ervaring apart! Heel leuk dat je fietsen ter beschikking hebt waardoor je Amsterdam als een echte Amsterdammer ervaart.

we had a nice stay in this small apartment with great breakfast, fantastic bathroom and we ended our day with a good bottle of wine with a movie in the cosy sofa. The facility of parking and bikes is very confortable. Really recommendable b&b!

Although i was expecting a fridge with an extended breakfast in it, i didn't have the foggiest.... Unbelievable; i cannot begin to write what Paul had put in it. We could've stayed in for 3 days!! The bed was royal, pure delight. And so was the bathroom. Private parking included and 2 super bikes! The best2be really IS the best2be. We'll be back.....! Jeroen&Claudia

Wij hebben tijdens sail 2010 met onze zoon van 10 een super verblijf gehad.Goede locatie om Amsterdam te verkennen.Binnen 5 minuten in de jordaan met de fiets.Iedere ochtend een goed ontbijt en de koelkast gevuld met allerlei lekkers.En niet onbelangrijk in Amsterdam, auto staat veilig in parkeerkelder.

Mijn zoon en ik hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in The best 2 b. Mooie locatie en geweldige kamer, wat een luxe! Behalve een uitgebreid ontbijt was er zelfs gezorgd voor andere heerlijke versnaperingen. De fietsen waren een uitkomst. Kortom: wij komen graag nog eens terug!

This place totally deserves its award. Paul thinks of everything, the best bed, the most bountiful breakfast that you will never finish, bikes, locks, rain gear and even international adapters. The tub is of course to die for. Truly the best B& B. Highly recommended to stay here!

The owner is a very kind& friendly person. We have very great time in AMS.

Very nice studio, nice breakfast, good bed and good access to the city. Also very well equiped for people who need a 'home' in Amsterdam for a longer time or during the week (dvd set, bikes, umbrellas etc).

Een geweldig appartement, het was ons tweede verblijf hier en wederom is het heel goed bevallen. Gratis parkeerplaats voor de auto en twee fietsen voor de deur. Goed gevulde koelkast en een heerlijke douche. Kortom, als we weer naar Amsterdam gaan bellen we Paul weer!

This is a great place to stay, the best bed in the world, beer in the fridge and an awesome wet room. Felt like it gave me a small taste of what it would be like to be a native and the bikes are highly recommended if you can get used to the brakes! You have to pedal backwards! Very private with your own entrance, just like a home from home. Will definitely stay again, thanks for having us Paul! JP and Kat UK

wonderful room, feels like a home of your own. perfect bed, outstanding bathroom... everything is clean, new and nice. the service, hospitality and breakfast were allso no less than perfect!! compliments. I allmost didn't want to share our experience, because I really want to keep this adress to myself....

After the rave reviews on this site, we feared disappointment. No chance. Thebest2b is every bit as wonderful as visitors before us described and we now experienced for ourselves. Many extra's on already an excellent offer. If this isn't the best bed and breakfast to stay at, what possibly could be? We recommend this B&B wholeheartedly. Stop searching, you found the best2b.

séjour parfait ! nous reviendrons sans aucun doute et donnerons très volontiers l'adresse à ceux qui cherchent un petit cocon plein de charme au centre d'Amsterdam.

It was just perfect. The room (huge even for 3 of us, 2 adults and our son),breakfast(a lot of variety ,inclusive Champagne),bathroom( inclusive fantastic showerfoam)Tv with many options of DVD. It´s like our home in an other country . Paul is ´´the best`` host , always present if you need in a reach of a ring. We spent 3 best days in the best2b. Thank you Paul.

Fijne locatie (dichtbij het centrum, maar toch heel rustig) en een fijn appartement. Het is van alle gemakken voorzien en wat je op de foto's ziet, zo is het ook. Dat we onze auto konden parkeren in de garage onder het appartement en dat we fietsen tot onze beschikking hadden vonden we een echte plus. Om nog maar te zwijgen over al het lekkers dat de eigenaar voor ons klaar had gezet. Wij vinden het een aanrader.

A great place to stay if you want a comfortable, warm, quiet "home from home" on the doorstep of the city - the Jordaan is five minute's walk away. And it is easy to access and park with your car - a real find in the centre of Amsterdam. Paul has thought of everything you might need for an enjoyable stay in the city and it was always fun to see what delights he provided for the next morning's breakfast!

Our stay couldn't be better than here! A very spacious and incredibly comfortable and quiet room, very close to the city centre. Thanks again to Paul for his nice welcome! Françoise and Jean-Paul. Belgium.

wonderful stay in the center of Amsterdam, with parking place:FREE

great stay in THE most comfortable room, bed so soft and great tub for soaking away the cold from cycling in the freezing weather. For us a perfect location-10 minutes walk from the station and close to good shopping and cycling around the unexplored 'Western islands'. Very generous breakfast too! Beats the 'chain' hotels hands-down.

As a connaisseur and being owner of A Small Hotel in Rotterdam, it was a real delight staying in thebest2be. Everything was taken care of. Nothing was missing to make a single guest feel really at home. Delicious food/snacks and drinks, didn't even have to go out for a meal with fresh fruit, salmon etc. Lots of topquality dvd's, a lovely notebook at my service and a kingsize bed. Bicycles available and free parking!! which is a unicum in such a big city! I really recommend this B&B to all people who love yo feel like a citizen instead of a tourist. Feel at home is being thebest2be!! Angelique Smol A Small Hotel Rotterdam Netherlands.

Very central. Free indoor parking. Free bikes. An extremely comfortable bed. Nicely designed bathroom with a lovely (separate) shower and bath. Wonderful breakfast - a fridge full of fresh new supplies every day. And an owner who offers great service and at the same time leaves his guests as much free space as they want. We will definitely recommend this b&b further!

We had a super stay, thanks to the friendly owner, tasteful breakfast and the included bikes! Accomodation was great, spacious and close to city center. We' ll keep this adress in mind for a second stay.

This B&B is the best to be when you have a visit this town, everything was great the room, bed, furneture, bathroom and the breakfast. Also the bikes to ride into Amsterdam and the free parking space. Thanks Paul for this great week. Greetz Bianca and Marco from Vaals the Netherlands

Afgelopen weekend (12 en 13 december) een fantastisch weekend in Amsterdam gehad. Veel van Amsterdam gezien, mede dankzij de fietsen die Paul ter beschikking had. Genoten van het uitgebreide ontbijt, een heerlijk bad na een dagje in de (koude!) stad en uitrusten in het inderdaad heerlijke bed. Een adres om door te geven aan anderen en bij een volgend bezoek aan Amsterdam bij terug te komen. Paul, bedankt en hele fijne feestdagen!

Fantastique lieu, a 10mn a pied de la gare centrale, un carde luxueux, ou le proprietaire vous accueil dignement dans une decoration a couper le souffle pour la gamme de prix ( sans compter sur la literie et la salle de bain qui sont a ravir). Enfin une alternative a ces hotels sordide et froid, ici on se sent chez soi...Merci Paul

Paul's place far exceeded our expectations. Not only was it very clean and wonderfully decortated, but between Paul and how the apartment was stocked with crossants, breads, cheeses, lunchmeats and wine, we were able to feel very at home. The location was perfect for enjoying early mornings and late nights out and still easily get home from where ever you were...I would suggest this place to anyone, other than when we are there...which will be often we hope! Tiffany and Keith NYC

We waren in Amsterdam van 9/10 t/m 11/10. Eerste keer dat we ipv. een hotel een B&B hadden en dit is super bevallen. Ruime kamer, voldoende eten en drinken en een mooie flatscreen met de nodige dvd's. Erg leuk ingericht en een super service. Ook de fietsen en de parkeerplek is een super pluspunt. Volgende keer amsterdam wordt zeker weer TheBest2B.

03 t/m 05 oktober 2009 Wij hebben genoten van het weekendje in Amsterdam, de lokatie van het B&B is echt perfect! Lekkere rustige omgeving en met de fietsen die Paul ter beschikking stelt sta je binnen 10 minuten midden in het centrum van Amsterdam. De koelkast heerlijk gevuld met een goede keuze van producten. Onze complimenten, echt super! Je hebt veel privacy in dit B&B en dat zal vaak op prijs worden gesteld. Paul, ga zo door en wij komen zeker nog een keer terug in een ander jaargetijde. Bedankt voor alles! Groeten Maria & Tina

This place is truly fabulous. Do not hesitate to book - just book it and you will not be disappointed. Great location, the apartment is gorgeous and the bed is to die for (I really didnt want to get up in the morning it was so nice). Paul was a fabulous host, made us feel so welcome and the apartment has everything you need for your stay - bikes, internet, dvd's, fabulous breakfast.. anything you could want for actually. I would stay here again if I was in Amsterdam.

Perfect place to stay, close to citycenter very close to "Jordaan" - a realy nice area with cafes,pubs and shops. Paul is very friendly an his service is perfect. Flat TV, Soundsystem...........an the great cocomatbed - its realy thebest2be!!

Paul made us feel at home with consistent and attentive service and a friendly welcome. We felt comfortable and safe- not to mention well fed! The room was beautiful and modern, stocked with everything we needed. The bathroom felt like a spa after a long day. We used the bikes every day. We will stay here again if we are able to revisit the beautiful city of Amsterdam! Thnaks for everything Paul! Brooke & Michael Halpin

We zijn twee dagen en nachten bij Thebest2b geweest en op alle fronten: vol lof! Een geweldig mooi ingericht appartement, modern maar heel sfeervol, met een zeer comfortabel bed, flatscreen TV en uitgebreide dvd-collectie. De eigen keuken en de door Paul rijkelijk, voor het ontbijt, gevulde koelkast is ideaal: je kiest zelf wanneer je wilt ontbijten. De ligging is fantastisch, in alle rust aan de gracht, maar op 7 minuten van het centrum en de gezellige Jordaan, waar we heerlijk hebben gegeten. Paul is heel gastvrij en heel attent: hij geeft je alle info over leuke belevenissen in Amsterdam. We komen vast nog eens terug. Bedankt Paul!

Wir waren im Mai 2009 für 3 Tage in diesem toll gelegenen und wunderschön eingerichteten Appartement. Das alte und das moderne, junge Amsterdam treffen hier aufeinander und passen gut zusammen! In wenigen Minuten ist man im Zentrum, ob nun zufuß oder mit dem Fahrrad. Das Auto bleibt solange in der Garage. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We really enjoyed our stay ; Paul our host is full of kindness , and very careful with his guests ; the place is very clean , and it makes you feel different from others , because of all attentions around ( bottle of wine , terrific breakfast , skin products , designed elements ) . It is the place to be in Amsterdam for sure , and the district is pleasant , very quiet . I recommend it to everyone : do not think , just book it !

Ottima struttura in posizione centrale a 3 minuti a pedi dalla stazione e dal centro. Il proprietario è gentile e disponibile. la stanza comoda, accogliente e la colazione abbondante è ottima. Comodissimo il posto auto in garage coperto. Consigliato sia per visitare Amsterdam che per spostarsi con la macchina per visitare la spendida campagna Olandese. Lo consiglio senza ombra di dubbio e come votazione prende il massimo. Buon viaggio a tutti e un ringraziamento particolare a Paul.

This was the first time we stayed in a B&B Inn. The studio is very big vs the hotel room. It is only 10 minutes walk to the Central Station and less than 10 minutes walk to the Jordaan area (close to Ann Frank House). The apartment is very clean. My husband and I enjoyed soaking in the tub after a long busy day. Paul, the owner provides us different kinds of breads and bakery goods everyday. Not to mention, the milk, juice, beer and a bottle of wine, thanks Paul, for your great hospitality. We would recommend your place to our friends in the U.S. Josephoebe Chan Wilmington, DE USA

This is a very calm, very quite place near by the center (5-7 minutes walk). The ideally hideaway where you can ralax after a long day walking in Amsterdam. Deffinitely offered this place. :-) Would you like to be a real Guest? Choose this place and you would not be disappointed!

Wir haben im März 2009 5 Tage im Thebest2b verbracht und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Bilder auf der Website entsprechen der Wirklichkeit: Das Appartement ist sauber und modern eingerichtet. Das Bett ist super komfortabel. Nach einem langen Tag zu Fuss durch Amsterdam eine echte Wohltat! Es gibt eine kleine Küchenzeile (ohne Kochmöglichkeit). Paul füllt am Vortag den Kühlschrank reichhaltig für das Frühstück. Und für Abends ist auch noch immer ein Bier oder eine Flasche Wein da. Das Bad ist mit Wanne und Dusche ausgestattet. Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist die fehlende Badtür. Aber das passt zum Stil des Appartements. Die DVD Sammlung ist umfangreich und gut sortiert. Paul hält einiges Infomaterial über Amsterdam bereit. Paul ist überhaupt ein sehr freundlicher und toller Gastgeber! Zwei dicke Pluspunkte für: Kostenloses und sichereres Parken des Autos in der Tiefgarage und die beiden kostenlosen Fahrräder! Noch was zur Lage: Auf Google Maps sieht es aus als wäre Westerdok etwas abseits. Das haben wir nicht so empfunden. Man ist zu Fuss sofort in der Haarlemmerstraat. Mit dem Fahrrad am Hafen (Het IJ) entlang und via Centraalstation ist man superschnell überall.

We stayed here for 2 days in February 2009 and loved it. I was not sure what to expect but the owner - Paul was prompt with email communications, met us on his bicycle when we got lost walking from Centraal Station and provided service beyond what most hotels would. Quick highlight: My wife had mentioned that she liked one of the bowls in the kitchen area. Paul got us information on where they were purchased and even checked three locations to see if they were in stock! He also helped our friend find accommodations nearby (she decided to accompany us to Amsterdam at the last minute). We look forward to returning to Amsterdam (hopefully when the weather is sunnier and warmer) and stay at Paul's place once again. Brooklyn, NY, USA

this place is better than any hotel! very cozy, comfortable and convenient! it's home away from home! - great host, very helpful, open and friendly - very tastefully furnished studio - fantastic, comfortable bed - full fridge with all yummy things - coffee and tea as much as you like - it's in the city center - indoor parking (free) - very good bikes for your use we know where we'll stay when we are in ams!

I stayed in this studio with my girlfriend when last visiting A'dam. Excellent place to be I should say, easy to find just 5 minutes from the centralstation and quiet, no disturbing from eather citylife or traffic and still close to it all. The room was great, bath was superior and the bed even better. Paul was even kind enough to leave us bikes to lend. I can only say that if you are only 2 going and you can spend the cost, you wont find anything better for the price... I'll know that when I'll go back Pauls place will be on my list of favorite places to stay, couse as he says. it's "the best (place) 2be"

Een prima verblijf dicht bij het centrum met veel privacy! Paul is een fantastische gastheer! Er wordt een ontbijt naar wens geserveerd; er is wijn; een gevulde koelkast, een mooie flatscreen TV en een uitgebreide dvd-collectie. Mogelijkheid tot parkeren in de garage (heel bijzonder in centrum Amsterdam) en fietsen ter beschikking! Kortom: een perfecte oplossing voor een kort verblijf in Amsterdam! En absoluut betaalbaar!!!

wie het één en ander gewend is qua service, interieur en gepamper mag met een gerust hart naar best2b vertrekken. De rituals badproducten, flesje wijn en geweldige dvd-collectie zullen zelfs de grootste zeurkous overtuigen. Ons weekend was helemaal ingesneeuwd, een leuke plek om thuis te komen maakt dan alles goed. Jammer dat het vechten zal worden om hier nog terecht te kunnen. Great job! PS noteer steeds het tel nr voor vertrek, onze gps had grote moeite, een telefoontje kan je dan stress besparen en inlichtingen vond geen nummer helaas..Hopelijk tot in de zomer! Michelle en Marcel

Wij waren Paul's eerste gasten. We bleven 4 nachten in zijn Bed and Breakfast en hebben het prima naar ons zin gehad. Hij is een goede gastheer die altijd klaar staat voor zn gasten. Wat wij erg leuk vonden was een tochtje door de grachten in zn prive boot. Een grote pluspunt is de ondergrondse parkeergarage. Wij komen hier zeker vaker terug!! Paul bedankt en we zien je snel weer Groetjes Glenn en Jantien

Thebest2b is a clean and brand new studio. It has a very stylish, modern and clean bathroom, comfertable double bed and furnature. The tea&esspresso machine always on order. For breakfast our host Paul, always adds cheese, ham, jam and fresh bread to kitchen. The studio is in a very quite site, no noise problem. The only minus is the distance between studio and damrak. at late, we took taxi from central station to studio (for 7,5 euros). Thank you Paul for everything, you are a great host! Cagdas, Turkey.

We had a 4 night stay at Paul´s place, and it was just perfect. He is a very frindly guy, who is interested in giving people the best stay ever. It dosn´t hurt that the apartment is brand new. Annelene and Soeren, Denmark

Paul is a very helpful and hospitable host, who runs one of the best looking b&b in Amsterdam. The place is spacious and bright. The coco mat bed is simply amazing. Its located in a brand new condominium complex, facing a nice quiet court. The bathtub and shower faucets are very modern, but easy to figure out (left knob is water pressure, right one is the temperature :). The location couldn't be better - its off the main tourist path, and just 5 minutes walk from the Centraal Station. If you're looking for a lovely place to stay, this is it.

Erg stijlvolle studio! Heel netjes en verzorgd. Zalig bed en toplocatie. Mooie wandeling naar het stadscentrum! Groot pluspunt is de parkeerplaats! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!!!

Überrumpelt durch das wundervolle Appartment und ein sehr herzliches Wilkommen, fühlten wir ons direkt wie zu Hause. Alles strahlt Luxus, Ruhe und Wärme aus. Ein reichlich gefüllter Kühlschrank für das Frühstück, ein herrliches Bett, eine fantastische Lage, es stimmt einfach alles! Der Service war außergewöhnlich, wir werden hier sicherlich zurück kommen. Endlich eine Adresse in Amsterdam wo wir unser Auto sicher parken können (und gratis!). Paul, Danke für die herrlichen Tage und alle Tips!!! Für den der dies liest; auch das Restaurant nevy (www.nevy.nl) auf der gegenüber liegenden Straßenseite ist sehr empfehlenswert!

great department, new, clean and very comfortabale! we were 3 guys there and the way we were served and been carried was so good and made our time in amsterdam easy. thanks to paul, we could knew everything we wanted he helped us a lot. by the way this department has the best location you can ask for. 3 min. from central train station. 2 min. on bike from dam square!

The appartement is tasteful and quiet. with a beautiful view on the dock. After a long day of visiting you come home and relax and a fresh bottle of wine is waiting for you. Absoluty a place to recommend!
