“Still wonderful after three years!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We had the good fortune last week to be able to return to Suite 259 for a business trip in Amsterdam, for the first time since 2008. Our visit was a relatively short 4 nights, but it was as if we had never been gone.

We had an early flight from the US, but Peter and Aziz had our room ready so we could check in at 8:30 in the morning - and Peter came out to meet us as with big hugs as we made the short walk from the tram stop less than 50 yards away.

We have stayed in top international hotels, and the quality of the room, the service, and the breakfasts at Suite 259 is at least as good if not better. Everything from the flowers, the wine, and the refreshments in the refrigerator are provided to suit your preferences.

Aziz always makes the most amazing breakfasts - and given my husband's meeting schedule, he made breakfast ahead of time and left it in the refrigerator the night before, so he would have something before hading out. I then had his regular breakfast, which was scrumptious. Peter and Aziz also suggested things to do, and highlighted new sites in Amsterdam, such as the new Hermitage Collection, and helped us to set up restaurant reservations. But even with their willingness to help, they let the suite feel like our own place during our visit.

Even after four previous visits, Suite 259 continues to exceed our expectations! But don't stay here if you are concerned about being spoiled so much you will never want to stay in another hotel again!

One final note - don't be afraid that Suite 259 is too far away from the center of town - it is a short 10-minute walk to Leidseplein, and the compactness of the center of Amsterdam means that you're not far from anything - and especially with the #1 tram just outside your door, the entire city of Amsterdam is easily accessible.

Room Tip: Suite Grand Sahara includes an upstairs bedroom plus a convertible sleeper sofa on the first level...

“Excellent B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

We stayed 3 night in december 2011 in this very charming bed & breakfast. The hosts, Peter & Aziz are really very kind people & do everything to make a success of your stay. The room (Grand Sahara) was a hit. Very comfortable, clean, 2 bathrooms (1 with shower toilet & 1 with big jacuzzi toilet), 2 levels, comfortable bed, 2 televisions, little kitchen...). We really recommend this B & B for all people who like the good things in life.

“This boutique hotel is all about you”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

My wife and I spent 4 nights in October under the care of Peter and Aziz at Suite 259 in Amsterdam. We loved it. The Sahara Suite was full of character and fully comfortable. Everything was catered for - including snacks and drinks and my wife's favorite flowers. Bed and shower were excellent as well.
Aziz made us excellent Singapore style breakfasts, that we relished and both Peter and Aziz were great to chat with and get advice about what to do.
We would definitely go back and have already recommended to our friends and family.
As the title said - with some boutique places - it is all about the place - at Suite 259 - it is all about you.

“Fantastic place and delightful hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

My family stayed for three nights at this wonderful bed and breakfast in the Grand Sahara Suite. Not only is the Suite beautifully decorated, with many thoughtful and comfortable touches (fruit, coffee and tea makings, juice and beverages in the fridge, slippers, robes) but the hosts are so welcoming. Peter can answer your questions before you even know what to ask and he just seems to know what is needed and when. The suite is great for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing - very spacious with comfortable beds and a wonderful patio space. Breakfasts are delicious and exotic but also include the wonderful little pancakes, prepared by Aziz. Rice is Nice, the new restaurant venture of Aziz, is something you must try, even if you don't stay here. Delicious Singapore home cooking, freshly made just for you. We felt well taken care of and would highly recommend Suite 259.

“Three Wonderful Nights at Suite 259”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

Our family of four stayed at Suite 259 for three wonderful nights. The Suite Grand Sahara was perfect for a family with two teenagers. The suite was very clean and had everything we needed for an extremely comfortable stay. The beautiful flowers and bottle of wine waiting for us as well as the soda, juices, and water were all little touches that made us feel at home. Suite 259's location suited us well, it is in a less busy part of the city but was easy to access by tram and by foot. Aziz treated us each day to a wonderful breakfast. The foods were delicious as well as beautifully presented. One family favorite was the plate of poffertjes that was served to begin each breakfast. While we were there, Aziz started a dinner take out business. One evening, after a long day of sightseeing we enjoyed one of his dinners on the balcony patio of the suite...it was a perfect ending to a lovely day. Peter was an excellent travel advisor for us. Each morning at breakfast we would tell him our plans and he would offer tips and advise on how to make the day better. He also recommended some lovely restaurants that served quality food at fair prices and were not in the high tourist areas. Our stay at Suite 259 made our visit to Amsterdam a memorable one.
