The place is as unique now as it was several years ago. Our room was clean, large and with some storage for clothing so you didn't have to live out of your suitcase. Karel stocks the kitchen with anything you might like to have, but you do need to tell him what it is you like. He is not a... More

My sister and I stayed for four nights in the Clock Room overlooking the front of the building. The collection starts as soon as you enter with clogs on the stairs, Barbie dolls, snow globes, teaspoons and lots of others too. The kitchen is great - just help yourself to breakfast whenever you decide to get up - fridge full... More

We stay at the clock room for 5 days and 4 nights. Personally, I am so amaze with the interior of the bnb, it’s so unique and interesting since it has display of Karel’s collection all over the place. You can find interesting stuff right the moment you are entering the bnb (at the foyer). It continues until the stairs,... More

Quiet location. Just a short walk away from central town madness. The back rooms are very quiet. The owner Karel is very pleasant, accommodating yet unobtrusive. Easy bus ride (197) from Schipol Airport. Other trams also within easy walk. Also direct route to Centraal Station. Kitchen is set up for guests to use. Stocked with essentials to make own breakfast.... More

All three rooms have there own character and are decorated with taste. The place is well kept and clean. The kitchen is stocked and equipped with all you need and more for a self-service breakfast. It is conveniently situated; the 3 main Museums are at walking distance (10min), as is the bus stop (5min) for bus n°197 which runs from... More

Cute, clean and chic B&B the bedroom and bathroom felt much higher quality than the price would make you think. The owner of The Collector is a super lovely guy who will chat if you want to, but will leave you to it if you're not in the mood. Great breakfast options with fresh eggs from the hens, fresh fruit... More

This was my second stay at the Collector, and for just one night, unfortunately. It’s in a perfect location from which you can walk to many museums and sights. If you’re tired, the trams, including the airport service, are right outside. The rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Both stays, my room has overlooked the garden and there’s a...
