I travelled to Amsterdam for a professional meeting, but asked my husband to join me and we stayed also for the week end. We were very lucky to choose the Flying Pancake. The neighbourhood is clearly the best option if you want to stay near the center of the town. The building is a charming typical Dutch house. The ground... More

On the recommendation of a friend, we booked a long weekend stay. We weren't disappointed; the owner Claudia was very welcoming and happy to leave us undisturbed to enjoy our break. The house and room were superbly appointed and decorated - we particularly enjoyed the steam cabinet! A stay is highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I spent two nights in the cook's suite, and I only wish that it was for longer! The location is perfect, in a quiet and safe area, only 5 minutes walk to a metro which takes you right into the city centre. Claudia was the perfect host; extremely helpful and welcoming and showed us around the amazing... More

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights in the cooks suite on the same weekend as the guests in the previous review. Unlike the other guests we had a fantastic stay! When we arrived in snowy conditions we were welcomed by Claudia and her beautiful dog. We were given a full walk through of our room with a quick and... More

We waited in the cold (-1 ) on the doorstep for 10 mins before we were let in. Room v nice but no sink in kitchen. Was told dirty stuff would be taken away and washed and returned - but it wasn't. Washed up in bathroom. Very draughty ( snowing) so room cold when we got there ( radiators hardly... More

Even though this was our first trip to Amsterdam the Cooks Suite was such a comfortable place to be we were back early at night to make the most of its facilities. We bought beers locally and takeaways and watched DVDs and listened to CDs from the interesting selection, although like other reviewers we couldn't get the hang of the... More

The location is perfect - in a quiet residential street but only a short tram ride away from the centre. Breakfast is delicious and delivered in a cute wicker basket outside the room door - you can select what you would like the day before. We stayed in the loft apartment, which is roomy, relaxing and very well designed.

Fantasic experience staying at this gorgeous b&b in Easter 2012. The upstairs apartment where we stayed was fantastica thoughout with a loft bed, fireplace, dvds, coffee machine, snacks... and the best part... a wonderful steam shower. The breakfast in the morning was done beautifully. Yummy and gorgeous presentation. The only thing I reckon Claudia could add would be some free... More

Claudia was an excellent hostess and we immediately felt at home. We had The Captain's Room and it was more than comfortable with fresh flowers in the room (Yellow Tulips) and in the bathroom (peonies) and a stocked kitchen, cappucino machine and liquers on the house. We didn't spend much time there to utilise the TV, DVD's books and music.... More
