Just a note that the toilet is one level above the room while the bath is ensuite. It didn't bother us too much but might be worth considering if this affects you.

Marc was a superb host, highly attentive and engaging. He even arranged a bottle of wine for us on the porch which was very kind. The room was spacious and clean and the location was great.

Leaving ...

Firstly greeted very warmly by host ...Marc. Marc could not have been more generous with his care for us. He kind and very helpful with details of HIS city. Our accommodation was very comfortable, had everything possible to make our stay happy and successful. AND the bed!! After a busy, busy day flying into Amsterdam Empiric was so easy and convenient to get to from airport. And from there city only an enjoyable and entertaining twenty-four min walk to centre and many other activities.

Had an amazing stay at Marc's place which is full of history. Loved the huge private garden with the table and candles- perfect for romantic dinner or drink. Marc is an excellent host and provided us with some ice and water. The location is perfect. Would happily return.

The only thing that was not confortabile was the toilet outsider the room.

I loved anything, the room, the position; far from the crowd, but in the center of the city. A very quite and comfortable place with a very nice garden.

We enjoyed our 4-nights-stay at Empiric and we recommend this apartment: it is very close to the city center, Marc (the owner) was extremely helpful with us and the room was clean. The garden next to the room is definitely a "plus".

I booked this accommodation for my friend's birthday. It exceeded expectations. Marc, the owner was fantastic and provided banner and bottle of bubbly for my friend's birthday. Our friends had a fantastic time and loved the accommodation. The garden was a fantastic bonus. Would highly recommend. Thank you Marc.

Anyone with significant mobility issues, just be aware, the spiral staircase to access the room is narrow and steep. But we’re no spring chickens and we’re fine. I was very worried about the toilet not being in the room, and I guess I would have preferred one in the room, but do you know, it was absolutely fine (and private) even for night-time visits.

The location was superb. The room was stylish and super comfortable, with access to and seating in the most delightful garden. (Who guessed those iconic Canalside houses had gardens!) The ensuite shower/wash room was well-equipped, nice towels and toiletries. The room had all one could need, fridge, kettle, hairdrier, tv etc. Marc was helpfulness and charm exemplified; very easy to communicate with. He was very keen to help us navigate and enjoy Amsterdam, with directions and recommendations. Oh and the room was super quiet and peaceful; we slept like logs!

We wished we had booked for longer

Marc is an excellent, exceptionally thoughtful host, and this room is a wee gem in this peaceful, historic part of the city. The huge bed and feather pillows are the stuff of dreams and we loved relaxing in the lush back garden. Marc provided recommendations for travel, places to visit and where to eat and made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. The building itself is from the 17th century with breathtaking bas-reliefs in the entrance hall, commissioned by the building's first owner for his wife.

Although there was a big bathroom with a big shower and 2 sinks, for structural reasons, the toilet couldn't be inserted in the bathroom, so we had to use a toilet outside the bedroom, always clean.

The location was very good, within walking distance of quite a few sights and supermarkets and eating places. It was very quiet and it gave away unto a very nice secluded garden with a table and 2 chairs under a small covered area. The host was very friendly and informative and helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht during my visit to Amsterdam, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of the city, it's within walking distance of all the main attractions, making exploring Amsterdam a breeze. Whether you're strolling along the picturesque canals, visiting world-class museums, or sampling delicious local cuisine, everything is conveniently close by. Upon arrival, I was delighted to find that the accommodation is incredibly easy to reach from the airport, allowing for a seamless transition into the city. The host warmly welcomed me and provided helpful tips and recommendations for my stay, ensuring I made the most of my time in Amsterdam. One of the highlights of my stay was the charming backdoor garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets. With direct access from my room, I enjoyed relaxing in the garden with a cup of coffee in the morning. While the toilet not being en suite could be considered a minor inconvenience, the host went above and beyond to accommodate guests' needs. Although the private toilet is located on the upper floor, the host graciously allowed access to another toilet on the same floor as the room during the night, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout my stay. Overall, my experience at EMPIRIC Keizersgracht was nothing short of delightful. From its prime location and friendly host to its charming garden oasis, it truly embodies the essence of Amsterdam's charm. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a memorable stay in this vibrant city.

Great location, walking distance to both museum district and central. Room is set in a beautiful traditional house directly overlooking a canal. Bed was well equipped with a bed, double sink shower room, TV, fridge and courtyard garden (perfect for a morning coffee). Marc was a great host- plenty of tips for the city and super food/drinks recommendations. Highly recommended.
