The Collector is an extremely charming B&B with I believe 3 double rooms. Our room was very clean and the decor was quirky and comfortable. The room was very large, with a balcony overlooking the little gardens of the canal houses - beautiful and quiet. We had a television (flat screen), double bed, little breakfast table and a fireplace.The ensuite... more

This B&B is very clean, charming and located in a great area (a short walk from the major museums and on a main tram route that takes you to all major points in the city without transferring), and Karel's service is excellent! - very helpful, informative and just a very pleasant and gracious host. He didn't even got the slightest... more

Karel, the proprietor, is soft-spoken and uncommonly kind and accommodating. When we told him that we were unable to find a shop that sold door stops, he called the local hardware store, quite on his own initiative, to inquire on our behalf. His bed and breakfast is located only a stone's throw from the intersection where the bus to the... more

Nonetheless, Karel (the owner) was unbelievably accomodating, took the time necessary to show au around and give us tips on where to go and... more

We were just very disappointed that Karel was not there - all the reviews that we read told us how great he was and it was very disappointing to find out that... more

We stayed at The Collector B&B in July, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are a family of 4, Mom, Dad, and 2 teen boys. Karel was a great host, patiently answered all of our questions, and had good restaurant recommendations. I loved his philosophy about recommending restaurants, etc. He said, " If you don't get good service, or don't... more

We very much enjoyed our stay with Karel, he is an excellent host and a great ambassador to Amsterdam. We loved the concept of the breakfast being supplied to the shared kitchen and access to the facilities at all times. Our view into the back garden was delightful and the room was dead quiet. Bus and tram system very accessable... more

We enjoyed our stay there and would... more
