Welcome to City Break Amsterdam, a humble bed & breakfast in the heart of the old city. Offering Guests that home-from-home feeling, our two bedrooms are well equipped yet cozy, combining contemporary convenience with characterful touches that embrace the historical nature of the setting.
The building
Though the B&B has been running since December 2017, the building itself is a little slice of Dutch history, dating back to the 1600’s. Small but perfectly formed, it is warm and secure, ideally located for those looking to get the most of their time in Amsterdam. Despite being at the heart of the action, our rooms are surprisingly quiet, which should help you get that all important good night’s sleep!
Guests with physical needs should be aware that due to the age of the building, there is no elevator, and though there are just 16 steps in all, they are quite steep – as per the typical Dutch style.
The facilities
Our bedrooms are clean, bright and welcoming. Guests can make use of a wardrobe, a mini fridge, free Wi-Fi, a flat screen Cable T.V. Pop on the complimentary slippers to get comfortable, and tuck into the selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and soft drinks. The twin bedrooms are also couple friendly, as the beds can easily be joined to create a double if you would prefer. Simply let us know in advance and we will happily arrange that for you.
The private bathroom comes equipped with a shower, a hairdryer and free toiletteries. Guests are also welcome to use the shared living room to chat, relax, plan your day, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee throughout the day.
Breakfast is included in the price, and is served from 7am to 10am. Presented in a semi continental style, each morning offers a little twist on the menu, keeping thing fresh and tasty.
Getting there
With Central Station a mere 7-minute walk away, and Schipol Airport reachable in around 45 minutes, getting to and from the B&B could not be easier.
Our location is one of the best rated in all the city, perfect for those who value convenience! Found right next to the Oude Kerk (the oldest church in Amsterdam), the iconic Red Light District is just a block away – something guests with children should take into account before making a reservation. Other nearby landmarks include Beurs van Berlage, the Basilica of St. Nicolas, Dam Square, and Royal Palace Amsterdam, all of which can be reached comfortably on foot.
The surrounding area is rich in cultural hotspots, making City Break Amsterdam an ideal hub from which to explore the city. You can visit the very best museums and galleries (including the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, and the NEMO Science Museum), whilst dipping in and out of popular cafes and coffee shops. You can wander the picturesque streets (or hop on a rental bike), take in the stunning backdrop of canals and bridges. You can treat yourself in one of the many big-name designer shops, or pick up a souvenir from the local markets. If the nightlife is more your thing, fear not, as there are lots of great bars, pubs and restaurants close by as well.
Your host
My name is Ria, and I am the live-in host at City Break Amsterdam. As a British expatriate, I am as passionate about exploring this wonderful, vibrant city as the many holidaymakers who come here. I have spent much of my life travelling the globe, and love nothing more than welcoming likeminded travel and culture enthusiasts to the B&B. I want everyone to feel at ease here, and thrive during breakfast service, when I can fully embrace the role of host!
The real boss here, and the true star of attraction is a fluffy Maine Coon cat. When she’s not napping or bird watching from the rooftop, she loves to greet guests as much as I do.
Amsterdam really does have something for everyone. I look forward to welcoming you, so you can start making memories in this beautiful city.
