Guest Reviews
- Celina (9/5): Super obiekt z klimatem, polecam! - Bardzo wyjątkowe miejsce, z klimatem. Wspaniały widok na kanał, obok piękny park. Na miejscu wszystko, czego trzeba czyli kawa, herbata, ręczniki, suszarka i grzejnik, który nas uratował przy przemoczonych ubraniach. Na miejscu było czysto, łóżko bardzo wygodne! Jedynie cena. Nie wiem czy to ze względu na koncert Harrego Stylesa, ale mogła by być niższa.
- Anna (8/5): - Rustige locatie, fijn beddengoed Lichtdoorlatende gordijnen, krakend bed
- Juninho (8/5): -
- Ravi (9/5): - Cute quirky accommodation. Nice location
- Marjolein (10/5): - It’s a very original and nice location. Quite small but large enough for a short stay and very comfortable bed. Great view!
- Manon (9/5): - Bien chauffé à notre arrivée. Aménagements du logement très bien fait et bien équipé : enceinte Bluetooth, sèche cheveux, café de qualité, etc...
Bonne literie. Système de clés stressant, sachant qu'en voyage on utilise beaucoup le téléphone
- William (8/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Dylanger (9/5): - Very cute little place
- Karianne (8/5): The cutest Amsterdam hotel room - It was such a special unusual place, I loved it. You were completely independent, and checking in with the app was really easy. The views were amazing. As expected there was some traffic noise, but if the inner city bridge houses this was probably one of the quieter ones. It was small but had everything you need, including tea and coffee. The location was brilliant. There was a funny, unpleasant smell at first. I think it was caused by the cold and damp weather. After a few hours with the heating on it disappeared.There was a funny, unpleasant smell at first. I think it was caused by the cold and damp weather.

- Stephney (10/5): -
- Rachel (2/5): - Booked this hotel as it looked really good online. Also have been looking for a hotel out of the city centre and close to the Vondel Park, for regular trips to Amsterdam.
Broke three ribs prior to travel and so was unable to travel as was finding it difficult to walk.
I realise a booked a non-refundable ticket, and requested a change of date. I thought that the hotel would have had a bit of sympathy for my situation. But no, they refused to move the date.
This room could easily have been re-let given that it was marathon weekend.
Its a shame, as I would have booked it in the future.
Well, its the hotel that have lost out.
- Leon (10/5): Amazing! - The view on Amsterdam! Nothing at all.
- pamela (9/5): - L'emplacement insolite agréable Pas de balai ni aspirateur pendant 5 jrs draps super propre et matelas bien les poussières était pas faite depuis longtemps sale
- Brittje (9/5): Originele slaapplek op top locatie! - Hele leuke originele slaapplek. Goede locatie ook! Geen raam in de badkamer/wc
- Pablo (8/5): -
- Christine (10/5): -
- Markus Müller (10/5): Außergewöhnliche Location - Tolle Lage, außergewöhnliche Location. Für die Größe gut ausgestattet. Nur ein Stuhl. Bei offenem Fenster nachts manchmal bisschen ein bisschen Unterhaltung von Partygängern, aber alles im Rahmen.
- Cédrik Pelherbe (6/5): - Fun et original Pas moyen de régler la climatisation, du coup nécessité d'ouvrir la fenêtre, mais environnement bruyant (terrasse de brasserie)
- Sarina (10/5): - Very unique location very close to vondelpark in Amsterdam!
- Pamela (9/5): Superb -
- Elcamrado (9/5): Really nice place, great location and comes with everything you need. - We liked it was unique and the location was great, short walk to Vondelpark. The bed was nice I understand the space is very small but possibly a few other hooks to hang jackets / towels.
- Boris (9/5): Superb -
- Alisha (8/5): Very good - Really quirky and fun place to stay and it was lovely to wake up on the river! Was actually slightly bigger than expected but still small. We got to see the bridge get raised for a boat which was really fun! The place did seem to get quite damp due to the location of the shower. As shown you are a little overlooked but there are blinds.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Please fix the heating system - During my stay I was unable to turn on the bedroom heater. Which made it very cold during the night. It is a fun location, with a very nice cafe across the street. And the Vondel parc across the water.
- Tal (9/5): Perfect when going to Essen Spiel - Great location, good service.
Perfect English by all employees Paying for parking, too few elevators
- Cat (10/5): It was a Sweet treat. Unexpected wonderfulness. Perfect for me. - The view, comfort, and cleanliness are top-notch. I simply loved it, perfect for my needs. The shower was powerful, the location was perfect for me and to look over the canal as I woke and went to sleep was a rare treat. It's small but perfectly formed in every way. Downloading the app was simple enough and clear directions were given, but I arrived late at night and had problems getting it to connect to the Bluetooth through my phone, but with patience I eventually got it to work and from there there was a key passcode card to use which was much better.
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (7/5): Good -
- Michelle (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Great spot and enjoyable stay - Great spot to enjoy and explore the city. Comfortable and thoughtful room, cleaned and prepared carefully which I appreciated. Getting the code to enter the room didn’t happen automatically but once I had asked for it then coming and going was straightforward.
- Brown (9/5): Cute little bridge house exceeded expectations - Amazing little place, really cute
Super comfortable bed.
Was great watching the bridge being raised for large boats multiple times Not a lot, if I'm to be picky or have a suggestion then a small microwave would be really handy
- Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (8/5): Cute unique place :) - Very unique kind of place - beautiful water views The smell was a bit odd like old wet wood. A micro wave would have been helpful
- Martina (10/5): A unique idea with a great location. - A unique idea. Location. Nothing.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Loray (9/5): Lovely, comfortable stay in a great location - Clean, cosy and the bed was very comfortable! It is a very small space
- Steve (10/5): A wonderful stay in a brilliant location, greeted by rainbows! - The location of Theophile de Bockbrug was exceptional. A couple of minutes walk from the Vondel Park across the road from a wonder Belgian restaurant/cafe/bar and on a pedestrianised bridge.
The room had windows on three sides looking at the bridge and up and down the canal and, on a couple of occasions, I was there when they opened the bridge.
The room was well equipped with a fridge, kettle, some cutlery and crockery and was a joy to stay in. There was a little noise from being in the centre of the city but this wasn't a problem. Theophile de Bockbrug is a wonderful place to stay, particularly if you like bridges!
- Agnieszka (8/5): Lovely, cozy stay - Incredible bed, great location, speaker in the room, funky bathroom No mugs in the room, a bit pricey for its size
- Theodore (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (5/5): Passable -
- Hindrik (9/5): A bridge so dear - Lovely litte 'house'. Small but comfortable. Unique views and location ambiance. Vondel Park nearby, through which you can walk to the museums. The reason I chose this place.
Others complained about the noise, but it was not bad, and was, a la Nei Diamond, " A beautiful noise".
Lovely bed Not much.
Would be a bit small for two people for long stays.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mariana (9/5): Superb -
- Lesley (9/5): Superb -
- Sheril (10/5): quiet and scenic on the canal. - i loved being on the canal. watching water and land transport pass. i liked that it was a single property. nobody around. quiet and comfortable. it’s a journey to get here from central. the neighborhood is nice.
- Anike (3/5): Good location with view of the canal but overall v noisy from the tram traffic. - Great view and the area is good for bars and restaurants. But it is very noisy with the trams crossing the bridge and we were woken every morning at 6am by trams crossing the bridge. The house is cosy but facilities aren’t great: only one sink for kitchen and bathroom and the shower head was broken. No toaster or microwave. Not great value for money unfortunately. Facilities were poor in the kitchen. Only one comfortable chair. Shower head broken. Very noisy.
