We had a wonderful time staying at the Collector. Karel is a great host - he communicated well before the stay and made sure we had everything we needed during the stay. He stocks the fridge and cupboards in the guest kitchen and we had more than enough to make our own breakfasts at our leisure. If you are lucky... More

The Collector was a nice B&B that wrapped up our journey across four countries throughout Europe. This B&B has excellent rooms, with modern amenities and lovely finishes. The collections throughout the B&B add a lot of character. The location is also excellent, right off the tram line and minutes to the major museums. Karel, your host at The Collector is... More

My husband and I stayed for four nights recently. I can confirm that all the previous positive reviews stand true! Upon arrival, we were greated by the our friendly host, Karel. After showing us our room and the amenities, he showed us where everything was located in the kitchen. The kitchen was always well stocked with juice, fruits, breads, cheese,... More

We stayed here after reading other tripadvisor recommendations and had a wonderful time. Perfectly located away from the main touristy areas of Amsterdam but close to Vondelpark and the museum quarter, the Collector lived up to all expectations. The breakfasts were plentiful and included fresh fruit, excellent fruit toast and other breads, pancakes, meats, cheeses, yoghurts and cereals. The bedroom... More

Our stay at the Collector couldn't have been better! Karel was the ultimate host , from providing a lovely, homey , comfortable place to call our own to being available to help with surprising needs like needing a doctor! We were welcomed as if we had come home after a long trip instead of being a stopping place in between... More

I just got back from this fine place on Monday. I stayed there from Oct. 14th to the 31st. I was in the front room with a comfortable bed. There was a view of the street and I enjoyed seeing the 16 tram going by outside my window. Karel, the informative and friendly owner was available for any questions I... More

Stayed at The Collector B&B for one night in October. We arrived at about lunchtime and our room was ready which was good. Lovely welcome from Karel and he showed us around the room, breakfast area etc. Asked if we had any requests for breakfast and he said he would get us bacon in for the next morning (which he... More

We have stayed 3 nights in September at The Collector. Overall a good experience. Public transport is really only 20 meters from the doorstep, so the whole of Amsterdam is easy to reach. It was only a short walk to the Vondel Park, the Leidseplein and other interesting places. Many eateries around as well. We had a nice quiet room... More

My wife and I stayed here a few years ago and I have felt guilty about not giving this B & B the high praise it deserves. I spent countless hours researching where to stay and finally settled on this one. The host Karel is a gentleman and the accomodations were perfect in every sense. I will not visit Amsterdam... More

My daughter and I spent 10 nights in September in this wonderful B&B. Everything was wonderful, the big room with balcony, the bathroom, the well equipped refrigerator and kitchen. And the best of course Karel and his assistant Kees who really know how to make you feel at home. The location is superb, the museum quarter, the Vondelpark and Amsterdam... More
