We cannot say enough about Sunhead and specifically, the tulip room! The B&B is on one of the most beautiful canals, and the Tulip room overlooks the canal from the top floor - picturesque! Carlos provided loads of information prior to arriving and getting to the B&B was a piece of cake. The rooms are perfectly outfitted with everything you... More

Outstanding B&B owned by gracious, cordial, wonderful hosts. Canal house in superb location, but you know all that if you've looked at their website. We stayed in the Jasmine room, a canal facing bedroom on the 2nd floor. Was it the 2nd or 3rd ... I'm not sure. You enter the B&B in the basement where the kitchen & breakfast... More

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay at this special B & B. From the view of the beautiful exterior on our arrival to the kindness of our hosts to look after our bags on our day of departure, the whole Sunhead experience was a wonderful success. Carlos and Roelf-Jan were exceptional hosts - nothing... More

Our stay at this fabulous B & B was the "cherry on top" for our trip to Amsterdam. We opted for a quiet room, selecting the Narcissus room on the top floor at the back. No one overhead and no street noise (although I'm guessing there is very little street/canal noise in the front, and will try to stay there... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Sunhead of 1617 for 4 nights just last week and cannot praise Carlos and Roelf enough for their wonderful hospitality. We arrived very early in the morning on our first day, consequently our room had not yet been vacated. However Roelf very kindly offered to make us both some freshly brewed coffee, which... More

This is a golden opportunity to have a super B&B experience. First, the building. This building dates to 1617 and still has some of the original brick, wood, and stair construction, It overlooks a quiet street and across from it you have a beautiful canal. You do have to climb narrow stairs but if you are relatively fit is no... More

Carlos runs a great b & b in this beautiful canal house. I stayed in a really cute attic room, tons of character and very comfortable. Breakfast is the highlight here, food is amazing and Carlos and Rolf create a relaxed atmosphere that encourages the guests to chat and enjoy around the wooden table. The location is perfect. I highly... More

I loved my stay at Sunhead of 1617. The location is ideal, the room was great, and the breakfast divine. Carlos is a wonderful host - so warm and funny. This B&B cannot be beat. If you come to Amsterdam, stay at Sunhead. You won't be disappointed!

Sunhead is a great B&B. It is VERY conveniently located in Amsterdam, only a 15 minute walk from the train station is a nice quiet neighborhood. The 3 course breakfasts prepared by Carlos were scrumptious! Only drawback are the steep stairs but the lovely rooms and view were worth it.

What can we add to the other reviews? It was a great stay with Carlos and Roelf-Jan, they made us feel very welcome and we loved the time at breakfast, enjoying the superb smoothies, scrambled eggs and mousses, while listening to Carlos' entertaining stories. We also loved the location - really in the heart of Amsterdam, but not noisy at... More
