A quirky little Bridge House great base to explore the city

8.0

The location was perfect compared to some other toll houses we had no trams near ours and not much traffic. I few mins walk to the bus stop. Great location. The bed linen was fresh and all changed again mid week. Easy to use app or card . Hot shower and plenty of towels provided. A good selection of tea and coffee was left for us and the mini fridge was a bonus. Hairdryer and safe was an added bonus as we could leave our passports safe in the bridge house. This was a great little base for us to explore Amsterdam. - use the GVB very good service tram bus and trains We bought a weekly pass which is much cheaper than buying daily and you can jump off and on as many times as you want.

− The heating system was a little bit hit and miss . Windows did get a lot of condensation . The picture on the booking wasn’t the same when we arrived and no window seating and no headboard was a bit of a problem but we managed. Perhaps it’s an old picture or a different bridge house on the booking.com

Great location close to shops and cafes.

− Nothing to not like, would be tight for a couple for more than 2 nights.

Es war wirklich schön und ich würde es nochmal buchen! Die Ohrstöpsel haben wir nicht gebraucht

10.0

Eine sehr bequeme, außergewöhnliche und magische Unterkunft! Perfekt für einen kurzen aber schönen Aufenthalt mitten in Amsterdam. Wunderschöne Aussicht und herzlichster Empfang! Auch wenn wir Probleme mit dem Self Check in hatten und es schon echt spät war, wurde uns geholfen🥰

− Die Kommentare zu der Badezimmer Situation (dass die Toilette nass wird, das stimmt schon aber uns hat es nicht gestört:)), sonst erst auf Toilette gehen dann duschen und dann Trocknet es auch schnell oder man trocknet es selber:))

Heerlijk genoten van het prachtige uitzicht en het leuke en comfortabele brughuisje!

9.0

De ligging, het uitzicht en dat het voorzien is van alle voorzieningen die je nodig hebt.

− Liever een koffie apparaatje, rook wat muf in de badkamer.
