First Impressions
Walking up to B&B Midtown Amsterdam suites on Sarphatistraat, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Amsterdam” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the thick of things — you’re literally in Amsterdam City Centre, surrounded by those classic narrow buildings and the constant hum of city life. It’s not one of those sterile hotel chains, but rather feels like someone converted a beautiful old building into something that actually works for modern travelers.
The Heart of the City
Honestly, the location here is pretty spectacular. You’re on Sarphatistraat, which puts you within walking distance of basically everything you came to Amsterdam to see. The Rijksmuseum? Easy stroll. Those famous canals everyone posts on Instagram? They’re right there. What I really appreciate is that couples seem to get it — they consistently rate the location around 8.3, and I can see why.
You can wander back from dinner or drinks without worrying about trams or taxis, which is honestly half the battle in a city like this.
Your Suite Experience
The suites here are what make this place stand out from your typical Amsterdam hotel room. You’re getting actual space to spread out, which — let’s be real — is pretty rare in this city where most accommodations feel like they were designed for hobbits. Each suite has that perfect balance of modern comfort and Amsterdam character. The windows let in plenty of light during those long summer days, and there’s enough space that you don’t feel like you’re living on top of each other if you’re traveling as a couple.
Practical Perks
Here’s something that’ll save you some headaches — they actually have parking available on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in central Amsterdam, you know this is basically like finding gold. Most visitors don’t drive here, but if you’re coming from elsewhere in Europe or planning day trips, having a guaranteed spot is huge. The property also handles all those little details that matter when you’re trying to settle in somewhere for more than just a night or two.
Why Guests Love It
What really comes through in guest feedback is how this place manages to feel both central and livable. You’re not sacrificing location for comfort, which is usually the trade-off in Amsterdam. The 7.5 rating reflects what I’d call solid, dependable quality — not flashy or over-the-top, but everything works the way it should. The staff seems to understand that most guests are here to explore the city, so they keep things straightforward and helpful without being pushy. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax between all that canal-walking and museum-hopping, which honestly makes all the difference in a city that can be pretty overwhelming.
Locals suggest to book apartments in Amsterdam around the Jordaan for indie boutiques, brown cafes, and lilied stoops.

What Our Guests Say
Clean compact room, good location and a top spec finish. Lovely clean little room with quality appliances. Modern bathroom with waterfall shower, Dyson airblade fan, kettle, fridge, coffee machine with complementary pods and a small outdoor area with a table and a couple of chairs.Bakery, cafe, shop and metro station all less than one minute away.
What could be improved: There is a lack of plugs with only one adaptor with 3 sockets. The bed is too soft, like trying to sleep on a trampoline and the outdoor area is a little dirty so it is best to leave shoes at the door when coming back in the room.
Very good The place was in good condition and they accommodated us with early bag drop off which was much appreciated
What could be improved: . The only negative was OMG the lighting. After the sun set it was like being in a cave. Please change out those horrific bulbs. Reading at night was impossible.
I had a great stay. Everything was very convenient and relaxing The bed was really comfortable and the room itself is spacious, nice furniture. You get your sweets, lots of coffee capsules and good variety of gel and shampoos. No noise inside, people kind and flexible. Thank you
Superb Great location!
Good location but property needs some repairs It was great having the tram stop and train station right out the front door.
What could be improved: As previously mentioned by other reviews there were a number of things that need repair that would have changed my rating of the property.
- The shower did not drain so you would have to either use low water pressure or turn the shower off during your wash to let it drain.
- The bathroom door handle was broken on both ends and kept coming off so we couldn’t close the bathroom door properly.
- The bathroom sink design unfortunately would mean water would run off the bench a lot.
- One of the chairs in front of the bed to watch the TV had a broken leg so it couldn’t be sat on properly.
- One of the powerpoints on the side of the bed looked unsafe as it was not affixed to the wall (it was hanging out of the wall).
Overall okay, good location, cosy! Bed was comfy as hell! Lovely decor, cosy, great location
What could be improved: Broken items in room, advised but none fixed.
Broken chair leg so couldnt use it.
Broken bathroom door handle so couldnt shut the door.
Broken toilet roll holder.
Unlocked back gate to our terrace so no privacy.
Shower swamps with water so have to turn off intermittently so drains.
Can hear other guests.
Great place to stay for couples. Highly recommend The beds, pillows, and linens we're very comfortable. The location was excellent - right next to the metro, plenty of nearby points of interest. We almost exclusively walked. Room was clean. Room layout was excellent.
Heating in the room worked very well.
What could be improved: There was no soap in the dispenser. Told the staff - but it was not refilled throughout our 5 night stay.
The rooms are not very well insulated for sound - we had a couple of noisy neighbours which was a bit annoying at times.
Great room, comfortable, good access to public transport and walks along the canals. The location was far enough south to avoid the more busy tourist areas. Easy access to train and tram. Great cafe next door. The room was spacious and comfortable. Great bathroom and good hot water.
What could be improved: Didn't like the nylon bed sheets that had cigarette burn holes in. Why not clean fresh white cotton linen ???. Lovely new bathroom but not designed for men - No shaving point and strange sink that you can't plug to hold hot water to have a shave ?!!
On finding the building we were shocked at its outside appearance with spray graffiti on the wall and litter around front door. Maybe it's meant to be a trendy look?
Superb A very pleasant stay at B and B Midtown suites. I stayed here with my partner for 3 nights. The room was very comfortable, modern, and the location was fabulous. The check-in instructions were easy to follow and the host very helpful. Overall, a great little apartment; great value for money!
What could be improved: Under the bed was a little bit dirty (with some cigarettes) and there weren't any mugs or plates provided. Apart from that, a lovely stay! Thanks.
A great location with fair price. Good for solo traveler. The location is exceptional! Having a coffee maker, kettle, and refrigerator was great.
The host quickly answered questions I had send by message prior to my trip.
Shower and bathroom, and overall size of the room was good.
Having patio door was nice!
What could be improved: I was not informed that a chair leg and bathroom door handle were broken prior to my arrival. I had to spend time communicating with the host about that and they knew it but didn't tell me.
Bed 'linens' had multiple 'burn' marks on them.
Because of other reviews, I was prepared for the very narrow stairs down to the room.
