We had a most enjoyable stay at Breitner House! It was the highlight of this trip to Amsterdam (which is saying quite a lot). Camilla is a charming hostess! She proudly told us the history of the house, and served a sumptuous, delicious, and beautifully appointed full breakfast. (She thoughtfully accommodated our dietary restrictions.) The suite was “as pictured” with art-filled walls, beautiful fabrics, and interesting accoutrements. Centrally located for connecting to public transportation, the bedroom was quiet with a comfortable bed. The Breitner House deserves it very high rating. We would definitely stay there again!

Camilla was an amazing host! She made us feel right at home and truly works to perfect every detail of the guest experience. Her artistic touch is evident throughout the entire stay. The Isaac Israëls room is breathtaking and had everything we needed. To top it off, Camilla prepares the most delicious, beautiful, and thoughtful breakfasts! Thank you so much, Camilla!

Staying in the Breitner House is not anything like a normal hotel where you simply get an accommodation. Instead, it is a full experience where you can soak in the history and culture of Amsterdam up close. The spacious suites are gorgeously and artistically decorated, and the property itself sits in a wonderful neighborhood. But perhaps the best part of staying here is the opportunity to sit and chat with the proprietress as she welcomes you with tea and Dutch pie upon arrival and then provides you with an absolutely sumptuous breakfast the next morning. Travel isn't just about seeing the sights, it's also about meeting people. And for those who might be hesitant because the price is a bit above that of a standard hotel, I can only say that for what you actually get for the money, this place is an absolute bargain (the price per square meter of living space is much less than a standard hotel and obviously the Breitner House offers more than just a bigger room...). This was easily the most memorable hotel experience of my life. Highly recommend!

Breitner House - An excellent experience!
It was an excellent stay! The service was outstanding, and very personal. The building, decor, and views were memorable. It all combined to make our stay in Amsterdam unforgettable. The breakfasts were delicious and customized. The owner of Breitner House goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome and very well taken care of. She is an ambassador for Amsterdam.

Our favorite places we have EVER stayed - in love
Camilla is amazing. Breitner House is amazing. We've literally NEVER stayed somewhere we loved more. The soul of the house is warm and artistic. The breakfast was somewhere between a dream and a Dutch still life painting. If you're thinking of booking, book now, and add extra days. We never wanted to leave!

5/5/2020 My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and cannot overstate what an unbelievably wonderful experience we had. From the moment we met Camilla we knew we were in for a stay unlike any other and she did not disappoint. Camilla was so warm, friendly and entirely selfless throughout our stay, always armed with directions, a thoughtful recommendation or simply a kind word. Accommodations left us speechless in both their originality and cleanliness. When we eventually plan our return to Amsterdam, if we cannot stay at The Breitner House we may reconsider/reschedule the trip, it was that fantastic. If we somehow go anyway, you can bet we will at least stop by to say, "Hello!" and "How we've missed you!". A beyond Five Star location.

The Breitner suite was very spacious and homey. The included breakfasts were very beautifully presented and the quality and quantity of food far exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed visiting with the owner every day as she is very friendly and helpful. The house was close to a tram station which made getting around very easy.

The BEST!!
Staying here was one f the best experiences of being in Amsterdam. The house and suites are absolutely stunning. The bed was hands down the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in in my entire life. The breakfast can’t be beat. Every aspect of the stay is planned to make you feel completely pampered. Great history behind the house. If you stay here you’ll actually want to carve out time to stay in and enjoy your room. Don’t miss it!!

A beautiful home with heart and soul!
As previous reviews have suggested, Breiner House is truly an experience. It's the most beautiful home and Camilla's warmth is truly unique. We felt completely relaxed, everything we needed was already available and it was made perfectly clear that nothing at all would be too much trouble. Everyone has already mentioned the decor and breakfast (like nothing we have experienced before), which included a quick impromptu play of the lovely old grand piano from myself! We sat and chatted and ate and drank for over 2 hours. When we return to Amsterdam we would never even think about staying anywhere else. Sometimes you just fall upon somewhere that really touches you and Breitner House, with it's history and the stories from Camilla were just that. I know I will always remember our stay there and we have stayed in many luxury hotels around the world. Thank you Camilla, you are a beautiful lady in every sense of the word.

The Breitner House is a true taste of heaven. By far the best and most unique place we have ever stayed when traveling. The Breitner House is absolutely beautiful. Very neat and clean, comfortable, and quiet. It gives you the home away from home feel. We had a very peaceful rest while staying there.

You will treasure this experience
Breitner House is an experience that will remain forever in your memory. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave you will feel you have been transported into another world. This is like staying in a palace with the senses taking in every beautiful part of the ambiance, antiques and spacious accommodations, all introduced to you by the wonderful Camilla, who is so happy to have you there. By the online description, I decided this would be the perfect special place to spend the last couple of nights of a hectic trip, and this was the best decision I could have made. We luxuriated in the surroundings of our rooms and the breakfasts were unlike any I have had in a hotel, in many wonderful unexpected ways. We are still talking about our time at Breitner House.

An Oasis in Amsterdam
Breitner House is a real oasis situated to the south of the city centre. It is well connected by local nearby trams and overlooks the beautiful Oosterpark. The whole house is flamboyantly, yet tastefully decorated. The suites are quiet, secluded, spacious and well equipped. The beds are super comfortable and you are guaranteed a good night’s sleep! Camilla, your host, relishes in your enjoyment in staying in her beautiful house with all it has to offer. She pays exquisite attention to detail and her breakfasts are to die for! Staying in Breitner House with Camilla definitely enhances your overall experience of staying in Amsterdam. It is definitely an under estimated jewel! I would definitely recommend staying at Breitner House, especially if you are celebrating a special birthday/ anniversary, or just want to treat yourselves. I am already trying to find an excuse to return...........................

I can't say enough wonderful things about Camilla and Breitner house. Romantic, peaceful. Best bed I have ever slept in The pictures are nice but don't do it justice. It truly is that beautiful Camilla has paid attention to every little detail. And the breakfast she makes is for a king! Love her and her house.

Perfection in Amsterdam!
We've stayed in wonderful hotels all over the world - ranging from massive corporate hotels to smaller boutique affairs. The Breitner House now takes its place among our favorite hotel experiences in the world. Since the Breitner House only has to rooms and is located in a grand house next to a part, we didn't really know what to expect, but the reviews were terrific, so we decided to try something different. When we arrived, we were met by the owner at the door, and within minutes we knew we had picked the right place. She is one of the most charming people that you will ever meet, and if felt very much like we were arriving to stay with an old friend. The house itself is amazing, and our room - the George Breitner Suite - looks exactly as the pictures portray it. Two huge beautiful rooms with beautiful furniture and art, and a very large bathroom. The dining area is also beautiful and my partner greatly enjoyed getting to play the antique piano in the adjacent room. The biggest surprise came when we had breakfast the next morning. Since there were only 4 people staying the hotel, I suppose we expected a small buffet and perhaps an omelet or something. Instead we were surprised with a lavish spread with so many courses and options that we lost count - all of it fantastic and presented with love and attention that made you feel as if you had woken up in a palace. I think anyone would LOVE staying at this hotel!!

Breitner House & Host Make Amsterdam Extra Special
After decades of trying to make it to this must visit European city, I decided to celebrate my 50th birthday with a visit. Of course, with a destination like Amsterdam and the celebration of my 50th, the expectations were high. Amsterdam and the historic Breitner House and its wonderful host delivered, big time. After landing in Amsterdam and making our way through the city to a charming little street across from a picturesque park, with enough goings on to keep one busy, but out of the way from the tourist area, I knew we were in for a treat. Camilla, the owner of the property, who takes the kind of care to make your stay more than perfect, welcomed us as if we were friends, long overdue for a visit. Each morning, we were greeted by Camilla with her infectious smile and zeal, as well as her extravagant breakfast which primed us for the day ahead, and certainly made you feel a little spoiled. Camilla knew everything about the city, where to go, what to do and when, why, and was able to share those special little details, which made each day out and about just perfect.

Amazing boutique B&B and the best stay in Europe!
My wife and I have been remiss in submitting a review for the Breitner House as we stayed at Guido and Camilla's lovely property almost a year ago. We've just rebooked another long weekend at the Breitner and thought we'd share some view of this unique B&B (the closest characterization albeit B&B doesn't do it justice). First, Guido and Camilla couldn't be more friendly, attentive or courteous. Their hospitality is second to none and they went completely out of their way to make our stay as special as possible. As has been noted before, the breakfast meal that Guido and Camilla prepare is fit for a king, replete with several courses of some of the highest quality breakfast offerings that we've ever had. Moreover, learning of our interest in seeing some of the Amsterdam countryside, Guido went out of his way to take my wife an I on a personal tour of a few of the villages outside of Amstersdam city, driving us through wonderful bucolic towns along the way. Finally the accommodations. We stayed in the George Breitner suite, which was just amazing as it was designed as an artists loft for George and his pupils/followers. It has fantastic high ceilings, wonderful light and great views of the neighboring park. It's also appointed with a mix of antiques and a monumental mural that Camilla painted. The room is as spacious as any you'll find and really nothing like I've ever seen. Really an A+ grease experience.
Amazing breakfast spread!

A most wonderful, beautiful & relaxing experience.
As most of the previous reviews, my husband and I had the most fantastic time. Guido and Camila the hotel owners are genuinely kind, cultured, fun people. They went of their way to ensure we had everything we could possibly need and more. Guido even drove us around the city on our first day, which really helped us get a good feeling for Amsterdam, such a cool city! Beautiful Camila recommended us two great restaurants. The hotel is sumptuous, tasteful yet comfortable. There's so much beautiful art to look at. The breakfast is an event in itself! Gorgeous food, lovely music and the wonderful company of Guido and Camila. Our room was a delight, with french doors opening onto a heavenly garden. Comfortable bed with crisp linen. All in all we loved every minute!!

The best place in the whole world
I have travelled a lot around the world, and the Breitner House is the best place I have ever been.Everything is perfect in this house: the room, the decoration, the breakfast, and the people. Camilla and Guido are the nicest couple you could ever imagine. They took care of us like a family. Since the terrible accident happened in Belgium, suddenly we had to change our schedule. They let us stay in their place generously, and comforted us with their optimistic spirit. We have stayed here for 6 days, and I loved it more and more each day. For me, it is not only a hotel, but a home. The Breitner House has became the best part of Amsterdam in my memory. Can't wait to go back to Amsterdam.

One Incredibly Happy Breitner Guest!
Having stayed in many 5* hotels whilst traveling for business or pleasure yet this time I decided to go for something with a lot more culture and true Holland history. The Breitner house hit the nail on the head! I was welcomed immediately by the wonderful Camilla who owns the property with her incredibly polite husband Guido. Excellent service which topped most of the 4/5*'s I've stayed in and it had a much more personal feel to the place. It felt like home from home to be honest. The suite I stayed in (the Breitner Suite) was incredibly comfy, spacious and clean plus the wifi was strong throughout the house too allowing me to do business with ease whilst staying there for three nights. Will certainly return, perhaps in the summer when they have hopefully completed the staircase up to the open air terrace! Thanks again Camilla and Guido (hope I'm spelling that right) and will catch you guys soon, definitely with the wife next time :-)
