Breakfast Walk In Marcel's Creative Exchange, you can brew your own coffee, but breakfast is not provided. There are a couple of breakfast restaurants and bakeries within walking distance though. Marcel gladly makes recommendations to his guests. We checked Café American and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast buffet, but Herengracht Food Drinks & Art is highly recommended as well.

Nothing but Creativity Marcel’s creativity is reflected in every corner of his guesthouse. He gives each room its own unique character, whether it’s with beautiful ceramics, or a surprising design in one of the lavatories. This is a great address if you’re looking for a stimulating alternative to the big, generic, anonymous hotel chains.

I recently attended the biggest trade show for my industry in Europe, IBC 2011. After a tiring overnight flight we arrived at Marcel's door. He greeted our team warmly and explained the ins-and-outs of life in Amsterdam to those of us not familiar with life in the heart of the city. The rooms are wonderfully appointed and extremely comfortable. Marcel has a spectacular collection of art and furnishings. I stayed in the Style Room, Marcel lit the fireplace in my room each night and put fresh sunflowers on my desk. It's the small things that make staying at Marcels so wonderful. Marcel is a fantastic host with a warm heart. He takes the time to ensure that his guests are relaxed and feel welcome in a foreign city. When he found out about the tragic state of the food at the RAI during our show, he contacted a wonderful associate who opened her doors to pack us the most delicious sandwiches, truly saving us from the typical show food. Thanks to Marcel and Cora for making sure we got through the trade show safe, relaxed, and well fed. I cannot say enough about his hospitality, caring, and beautiful home. There is no other place in Amsterdam I would consider staying.
A wonderful place to stay!

If you are looking for an exeptional, cosy, chic, happy, full of art, fantastic place to stay in the turbulent inner city of Amsterdam - this is it. And much more: the rooms are unique, the beds outstandingly comfortable, the quietness amazing for being actually in the middle of leidsestraat and Marcel is a wonderful person, artist and host.
We will return! Uncle Marcel :))

Marcel's Creative Exchange is a beautifully appointed and well maintained haven located in the heart of the city, a 'working home' for a gifted artist who is more than willing to share his considerable experience (and considered opinions) of everything his city has to offer. It's very clearly NOT a hotel, and if you want neutral, sanitised accommodation then this is not for you. But if you want to engage fully with this beautiful, vibrant town, Marcel's is an excellent place to start, and to stay. Definitely my choice for future visits (if there's room!)
lovely place in the middle of amsterdam with artistical flair!
