Why the Owner Chose Amsterdam
This location is just outside the busy noisy city centre of Amsterdam. We do have the café 's, bars and good restaurants. But we don't have the drunk,loud and crazy tourists that scum the inner city of Amsterdam day and night. So nice clean air, peaceful nights and a green oasis just outside your doorstep. 10 minutes with the bike ( provided) or the tram, and you are back in town.That's why we think we own the best place in town, and numerous have told us just that!!!
The Unique Benefits at this Bed & Breakfast
I live in this city of Amsterdam now for almost 30 years, and each day while biking through this city, I feel the blessing of living in one of the most inspiring Cities of the World! Me, a girl from the countryside, feel like a bee in the honeypot every day! Come and stay with us, and I'll tell you all about our experiences and everything we have learned from our guests!!
It's right here where tram nr. 9 will stop, and from here it's not more than a 5 minute walk to Fleur d' Amsterdam
Close by is the park Frankendael, a former estate, that turned into a beautiful and peaceful park, with sunday markets and wonderful restaurants, ( the KAS and MERKELBACH)
Owner's Map of Amsterdam
About five years ago, we decided we where ready to receive travelers from all over the world in our home. We had made a beautiful guest room with a great bathroom and experienced great fun with family relatives and friends of friends. More and more people found the way to our house. And we really really enjoyed showing people around in Amsterdam. Some would like to see museums, some more the nightlife. So many people so many wishes. We where there to for fill them. What a enormous joy did that give. So one morning I woke up and decided to make it my profession. So that's when Fleur d' Amsterdam started. And we never ever regretted that! What a opportunity to meet new people and enjoy each others stories. Since then we have had the opportunity to meet new friends. And so we did!

A true Dutch Experience

You will feel like one of the family after visiting to Fleur d’ Amsterdam. This little bed and breakfast offers a comfortable, home-like ambiance and unmatched hospitality of five friendly and extremely accommodating family members. Fleur, Coen and their three kids will introduce you to cultural experiences not presented by tourist offices or hotel concierges. Over the course of five business trips I have experienced: an unforgettable “Fleur-guided” tour in the countryside on a Dutch bike (via map rather than actual bike), and art/antique auction, several non-touristy neighborhood markets, unique local foods, and a host of other memorable activities. After having returned with such great stories my wife questions if I was really away on business! If it's absolute quiet and a sterile atmosphere you seek stay at a hotel, but if you are on vacation or business and want a feeling of home, true introduction to local culture, knowledgeable tour guide and lifelong friends, give Fleur d’ Amsterdam a try.

Our Amsterdam B&B was a very pleasant part of our trip. I chose it based on the reviews and description on this site. The listing photos accurately reflected our home. The property was very well maintained and the room was clean and tidy........more importantly, our hosts made us very comfortable and were extremely generous with their advice and information about their city. Every morning, over a tasty and filling breakfast, we were able to ask all our questions from the day before. Fleur is an engaging personality with a wonderful upbeat attitude toward her guests and life in general. So, over fresh eggs,bacon, ham, huge wedges of cheese, freshly squeezed orange juice, toasty buns, cherry tomatoes, jam and excellent coffee we learned some history, which museums to visit, how to use the transit system, how legalized marijuana works and a little background about the red light district. We spent 6 days there and would certainly stay there on a future visit. Thanks Fleur and Coen and VRBO!!

A unique Amsterdam a la Fleur

From the initial email detailing how to get to her place from the central train station to the smile Fleur gave us as we rang the bell, from her laugh that accompanied our first pedal strokes on the bikes she arranged for us to the copious morning breakfasts before we headed to our conference, Fleur has been a wonderful host. When traditionally we would be staying in a city hotel nearby the conference site, this time, we appreciated discovering the Amsterdam way between our sessions. Fleur and Kuhn have been unique and we will definitely come back to laugh with them. This has been by far the best way to enjoy a city during a business trip. Thank you. Patrick.

This B&B is in a nice, quiet area but is easily accessible by bike or tram to the central part of Amsterdam. Fleur is a very friendly person and is helpful about what to see in the city. The extras she provides - fruit basket, wine, chocolates, bikes, etc are very much appreciated. The great breakfasts - eggs, ham, cheese, tomatoes, yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc provide a good start to the day. The room has a nice bathroom, comfortable beds, tv and wifi. Amsterdam is a wonderful city and we had 6 enjoyable nights at Fleur's B&B.

A spacious bedroom and really wonderful bathroom were only part of the generosity of Fleur and Coen. They welcomed us into their home and world, sharing so much great advise with us as visitors, as well as sharing of themselves by telling us about their lives. The breakfasts were generous and delicious, and Fleur's gift is hospitality. We loved taking the tram back to their place after the intensity of museums and crowds. We highly recommend this B and B!

This review is very late in coming since my daughter and I stayed with Fleur, Coen and their family last May. However, that is a reflection on me and not them. I have stayed in many B & B's over the years and this one is THE BEST! Other reviewers are correct when they say it is like staying with family. This became evident months before when I asked Fleur for suggestions for a place to stay because she was booked. What did she do? Put us in their room, while they bunked in the den! Her tourist advice was spot-on, her generosity overwhelming and her breakfasts....delicious. I usually look for accommodation within walking distance of a city centre. A tram is needed to get anywhere from this B&B but it is more than worth the effort. Fleur, Coen and family were the perfect beginning to our trip and we can't wait to return to them. Oh, yes... and Amsterdam.

You've got family in Amsterdam!

You don't know it yet, but you have family in Amsterdam. From the minute you arrive at Fleur's, you're treated like the long-lost cousin! And a treat it is. Fleur and family live in an unusually large house in Amsterdam, in a quiet, safe and green residential neighbourhood with a real feel to it. There are excellent shops and restaurants very nearby. The bustle of central Amsterdam (when you're ready for the action and the insanity) are a short, easy -- and fun -- tram ride away. Fleur's house is warm and inviting in a very artistic, lived-in and casual way. It's home to kids and cats and two relaxed adults, after all. Oh, and I mustn't forget the chickens in the backyard. The guest accommodation is similarly warm and inviting as well as being artistic and absolutely immaculate. Fleur asked us not to invite the cats into the bedroom to protect other guests who might have allergies. So we got our kitty-snuggles in the kitchen. And the kitchen is the site of probably the best breakfast in Amsterdam: meats and cheeses and eggs cooked to order and the most amazing fresh breads! Fleur's coffee is as good as it comes, and will propel you into your busy day. At Fleur's you've got everything you need, and more. An excellent bed (or beds if you want), a modern, striking and spotless black slate bathroom with yummy toiletries, good TV and excellent wifi. The room is full of lovely, thoughtful touches such as guide books, snacks and even some small bottles of wine. My only regret about our stay there was that it was too short. Much too short. But we'd love to go back! My fear is that, having read, and added to, the excellent reviews, Fleur will be fully booked well in advance. But isn't it nice to see family doing so well?

The location was great, close to the tram stop with tram no. 9 which takes you right to the central train station, various sights, and basically whereever you wanna visit in Amsterdam. The room was spacious and clean, with an awesome shower with hot water 24/7. Breakfast couldnt get better with fresh bread, eggs, selection of cheeses, yogurt. Fleur and her husband Coen were so helpful. They suggested so many day trips for us to see the cheese market, windmills, tulip fields. We spent 10 days at Fleur's B & B, and every single day was pleasant. Highly recommended!

Solo pochi minuti a piedi dal tram 9 che in poco tempo raggiunge la stazione centrale. Molto comodo, ma Fleur fa di più e ti mette a disposizione gratis due biciclette con cui vai ovunque, anche nella campagna dei dintorni, una fantastica esperienza!Anche la carta dei musei è a disposizione, un risparmio enorme!Fleur e la sua famiglia fanno di tutto, e anche di più, per farti sentire un ospite gradito, per rendere il tuo soggiorno piacevole e indimenticabile. Piuttosto che scegliere un anonimo hotel, scegliendo Fleur e il suo B&B vivrai in una vera casa e condividerai la vera vita quotidiana di una famiglia ad Amsterdam!E per colazione...le uova fresche omaggio delle galline in giardino!Veramente una fortuna aver scelto questo B&B ad Amsterdam!

Delightful Host in Amsterdam

Staying at Fleur d’ Amsterdam allows you to live the life of a typical Dutch family in their modest home. From the field hockey sticks proudly decorating the radiator in the entryway to the children sitting in the kitchen, you experience the day to day life of this happy family. Fleur is a wealth of knowledge and is happy to provide advice to travelers wanting to see Amsterdam. The children are pleasant and polite to all the guests. If you are accustomed to a typical English B&B with china cups and white doilies, your may want to look elsewhere but if you want a comfortable place to stay with a generous host family in a great part of town, this place should fit the bill. The bedroom is a nice size and with the private bath, you can have your private space to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Local restaurants, parks and shops are steps away from the home on the outskirts of Amsterdam. With almost 95% occupancy, you can understand that people are enjoying the opportunity to experience Amsterdam at Fleur d’ Amsterdam.
