I came to stay for four days in Amsterdam after many weeks of hard work in Africa. I was ready to relax and relax I did! The Blue Moon is difficult to find from the street (there's only a very small plaque above the doorbell - no sign) and there's not much in the way of common space -- just a narrow set of stairways. But the room itself was gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, with windows facing the canals and letting in lots of light. The bathroom was also beautiful although no toiletries were included so I had to go out and buy my own shampoo, conditioner and body wash (a minor annoyance, but one that I think would be worth addressing). Breakfast was served in my room each morning and was delicious -- croissants, jam, fruit, yogurt, meats and cheeses. I had a friend come in from a nearby down in Holland and stay with me during two of my four nights, and once the inkeeper realized this, he brought extra breakfast for my friend as well. Taufik, the inkeeeper was very attentive and patient when I had trouble paying him (my credit cards had been stolen and it took me a couple of days to get cash). This was very much appreciated! My one other negative comment is that, in four days, my room was never cleaned. My trash wasn't taken out, and my sheets and towels weren't replaced. Again, not a deal-breaker, but for such a nice place (and for the price), I would have liked to have the towels changed and trash emptied at least every other day. Still, overall a great location, beautiful room and definitely a spot that I would recommend.

We stayed here over the 4th of July holiday and were very happy with our decision. We had the room w/ the additional seating area (which is great when you have 2 people and one of them can't sleep) :-). Room was clean and had plenty of space (esp. by european standards). Location is perfect as it's in the museum district and close enough to walk (or bike) to everything you want, yet quiet and relaxing. The breakfast is ample and delicious. Typical European breakfast items. Taufik was very kind and gave us plenty of information regarding the city (+ 2 free canal tour tickets which were awesome). The stairs are.... well... we called them the death stairs, but again, typical for Amsterdam as most old buildings do not have lifts. If you are handicapped or cannot walk up/down long flights of stairs, I would opt for a more American hotel (or something w/ an elevator). Otherwise, it's worth the climb. We really had no issues and between that and biking everywhere, I think we exercised off all the delicious food we ate while on vacation. (speaking of which, if you go, please check out Sarah's Pancake House). Yum. Thank you Taufik for being such a great host.

Thank you very much Taufik for your hospitality. I highly recommend this B&B. Is for people who search privacy. Room and bathroom are big for Amsterdam standards and from here is very easy to reach any important point of the town. Also breakfast is more than enough and good quality. Initially I look for a more central hotel but I don't regret my choice. Congestion and noise from city center will destroy your vacantion. Again, thank you Taufik and I wait you in Romania.

I booked this B&B based on reviews on tripadvisor and was not disappointed. The street-side suite with detached sitting room was a lot more space than I needed for myself but it was welcome. The breakfast was fresh, on time, and quite good.

The included canal tour was worthwhile. I only wish I'd rented a bicycle earlier in the trip as it really opened up access to the city.
