17th-century canal-side B&B in Amsterdam city center
Historic Setting
B&B Herengracht 21 occupies a 17th-century renovated warehouse on the Herengracht canal. The building is located in a quiet area, 8 minutes on foot from Amsterdam Central Station and 700 meters from the Anne Frank House. Guests access the property via steep traditional Dutch stairs, a characteristic found in historic Amsterdam houses.
Breakfast and Services
Each morning, the host serves a personalized breakfast with fresh local options, including fresh juices, local cheeses, fresh eggs, and homemade jam. The property offers a minimarket on site for snacks and essentials. Luggage storage is provided for guests arriving before check-in or departing after check-out.
Canal Room
The Canal Room offers canal views and is furnished with books, paintings, and antique furniture, creating a reading-friendly atmosphere. The room has no television, which some guests consider an advantage for a quiet stay. Rooms include private bathrooms, air conditioning, and tea and coffee makers.
Private Canal Tour
The hotel offers private canal tours exclusively for guests, using an old missionary boat. This tour provides a unique vantage point of Amsterdam's 17th-century canal ring. Cycling activities and bike tours are also available in the surroundings.
Family-Friendly Accommodations
The B&B is family-friendly and accepts children under one year old. The Duplex Apartment provides spacious quarters for families. The neighborhood has a late-night frites shoppe and numerous restaurants within walking distance.
