Amsterdam Bed and Breakfast

Maes B&B started over 10 years ago as one of the first B&B's in the city and over time it has become famous for its hospitality and home ambience.

The private house, dating from the eighteenth century, has recently been renovated. The guest rooms, located on the first and second floor, are quaint and comfortable. They are decorated with an accent on a cosy home 'ambience.' Awaken to the smell of fresh croissants, which are part of the extended continental breakfast. Complimentary coffee and tea are available throughout the day in the guest kitchen on the first floor.

Maes B&B works closely together with Herenstraat B&B, two doors down in the same street. [View bed and breakfast details ]

Nicolaas Maes

We have named the B&B after Nicolaas Maes, one of the famous Dutch painters from the 17th century and a pupil of Rembrandt. Some of his work can be seen in the Rijksmuseum.

Amsterdam Apartments

Apart from the Bed and Breakfast accommodation, Maes can also provide an apartment for you. You have your choice of apartments in the Herenstraat where the B&B is located and apartments on the closeby Keizersgracht. A few steps away in the Herenstraat is Herenstraat B&B, offering apartments as well. [View apartment details ]
