Suites Bellamy Amsterdam works as a bed and breakfast in a 1930 building in the Oud-West neighbourhood. It serves a continental breakfast with local produce. It is an option for couples who want to stay near the Vondelpark and away from the core of the canals.
Location and getting around
It is on the Schimmelstraat, north-west of the Vondelpark. The main entrance of the park and Leidseplein are about a 20-minute walk away. The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House are about 25 minutes on foot, and Dam Square about 30. Amsterdam Centraal is about 2.6 km away: to arrive with luggage, the tram or a taxi is the better choice.
Rooms and facilities
It is a place to stay with a few rooms in a house from the 1930s. The B&B itself highlights the bed linen and towels it provides in each room. It is not listed whether it has Wi-Fi or other services, such as parking or round-the-clock reception, so ask if you need them.
Breakfast is continental and adds local options, a plus if you like to start the day without looking for a café.
Who it suits
- You are travelling as a couple and prefer a small house to a large hotel.
- You plan to go running or walking in the Vondelpark.
- You want breakfast included in the same building.
- You are comfortable using the tram to reach the centre.
Good to know
Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:00, so if your flight arrives late, let them know beforehand. Check-out is between 08:00 and 11:00. As it is a B&B, the service is more direct than in a hotel with a reception desk. You can compare other areas in the guide to places to stay in Amsterdam.
