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

Sunhead of 1617 was a wonderful B&B choice for our visit to Amsterdam. Carlos and Roelf did so much to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Carlos prepares an excellent breakfast. He modified his yogurt breakfast fruit cocktail with soy yogurt in accommodation of my non-dairy diet. The B&B's excellent location is in the Jordaan district and is in walking... More

Fantastic location on a quite canal in downtown Amsterdam. Quaint and comfortable rooms but best of all the hospitality and superb breakfasts, freshly cooked by Carlos who was a wealth of information and very kind and considerate.

Everything about this Bed & Breakfast was top of the line, the breakfast was outstanding with choices of different sweet spreads, variations of scrambled eggs (do you like black truffels???), fresh smoothie and pannini. We also enjoyed the hilarious and captivating stories Carlos liked to share with us over breakfast time and ended up sitting in the kitchen way longer... More

This was our first trip to Amsterdam, and to stay at Sunhead 1617 was the perfect choice. From the moment we arrived, tired from the long trip, we were made to feel very welcome. Roelf-Jan made us tea so we could relax before heading off to see the market, etc. The cat was sunning herself in a chair by the... More

The stay in this wonderful B&B made our trip to Amsterdam a longterm, unforgettable, overall super city enjoy. The excellent breakfast pushed us through the first hours of the day.

My husband and I stayed for 7 nights at this fantastic B&B. The charming owners Carlos and Roelf-Jan really made this visit special. The beautiful location on Herengracht canal was amazing. We walked everywhere, to the Central station, all city sights, and Jordaan neighborhood. The rooms and the design of the B&B are beautiful and tasteful. The room was spotless,... More

We stayed for three nights at the B&B Sunhead. Besides this years special "Queensday", Carlos and Roelf made our time in Amsterdam a really wonderful and unforgettable experience.

We stayed for four nights with Carlos and Roelf at Sunhead. We absolutely loved the location and the fabulous breakfasts prepared by Carlos each morning. Chatting with Carlos in the mornings was so much fun, and he even got up early to fix us breakfast before our flight home. We stayed in the Narcissus room, and it was very comfortable,... More

Carlos rules! This is absolutely true. Our stairs are very typical of Amsterdam and maybe this, plus all the biking, is the reason why the Dutch are slim and fit. I see it as my fitness excercise since I gave up my gym subscription. . . Thank you for your kind and supportive words! More
