Guest Reviews
- Chiara (8/5): - Accoglienza, disponibilità dell’host, pulizia, posizione centralissima
- Curtiz (10/5): Comfortable and brilliant host. You will be happy here - We always stay here, it’s clean and comfortable and helps us feel like we’re at home No cooking facility but you do get microwave and maybe needs new fridge but we do fine
- Konrad (8/5): -
- Soselau (9/5): Localisation parfaite pour cette belle chambre bien équipée - Belle chambre propre, à la décoration contemporaine industrielle, avec de nombreux équipements (micro-ondes, frigo, tasses et verres, sèche-cheveux, fer à repasser, parapluie). Literie très confortable (matelas moelleux et draps de qualité). Emplacement central idéal pour graviter dans tout Amsterdam. Et propriétaire adorable et disponible ! Salle de bain un peu petite. Rue animée jusqu'en début de nuit, donc bruyante surtout le week-end.

- Louis (10/5): Great location very central with lots to do around the area - The location and that you can smoke cannabis inside The price but it was expected being kings weekend
- David (8/5): -
- Rocio (10/5): - Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido el trato del personal, que ha sido muy agradable y la ubicación, que estaba en el centro de Ámsterdam.
- David (10/5): -
- Katarina (10/5): - Everything was great, we had everything we needed. Just a suggestion - add some cushions to the chairs, they were very cold to sit on.
- David (10/5): -
- Kieran (10/5): Care and Comfort, Home from Home. - The room and hosts catered for every single need from the moment we met and got there. Very polite, cosy and and accommodating. On being checked in we were given a really good detailed guide and talk about the local area which was personalised to us and our stay. Everything was checked to ensure it was all in good shape and working order prior to being left to our own adventure's.
Great location, in the heart of all the lovely traditional architecture, shops and canals.
There is plenty to do within a short walk such as the Anne Frank museum which is a hair raising experience, canal cruise ships with optional extras and all the coffee shops you could wish for. Definitely, the place to stay for any coffee connoisseur.
There is food and drinks around that catered for everyone. Fast food, mouth water restaurants and food trailers and street food. All to be tried.
Checkout was simple and secure. Having to leave.

- Julie (10/5): - L’emplacement de l’appartement est parfait. L’accès aux lieux mythiques d’Amsterdam est très facilité. La literie est de qualité, et les propriétaires sont très à l’écoute des besoins. Rien, tout était parfait

- Danial (10/5): -

- allysson (7/5): Agréable - Barbara est incroyablement gentille et compréhensible.
La chambre est très bien situer, équipements au top. ' Serviette, draps et couettes un peu usées et tachées.
Pas de double vitrage.
- SILA (10/5): Mükemmel - Barbara çok nazikti ve kendisiyle iletişim kurmak çok kolaydı, bize her konuda çok yardımcı oldu. Dairenin konumu oldukça merkezi, tüm turistik yerleri yürüyerek gezebilirsiniz. -

- Antonia (10/5): -
- Curtiz (9/5): Brilliant - Very good location. Great host and really nice cosy room. We came here twice within 2 months and will be back next year at least two more times. Maybe a softer mattress or just a topper and more pillows
- numan (10/5): Mükemmel keyifli bir konaklama - Konum aşırı iyi. Gidilebilecek çoğu yere yürüme mesafesinde. Amsterdam’ın tam göbeğinde adeta. Red light’ın hemen yanı diyebilirim. Odada her türlü yardımcı araç gereç mevcuttu. Ütü, şemsiye, saç kurutma makinesi, su ısıtıcı, bardak, buzdolabı, bolca çay ve kahve. Ev sahibi ben gitmeden kaloriferi sonuna kadar açmış ve sıcak bir odayla karşılaştım. Ayrıca buzdolabını da en soğuk seviyeye getirmiş. Kendisi oldukça özverili ve cömert birisi, ayrıca çok da güleryüzlü ve samimi. Odaya çıkışın merdivenlerinin dik olması hiçbir sorun olmadı, ağır valizimi kendisi çıkartıp kendisi indirdi, bu çok kaliteli bir davranıştı. Oda çok temizdi, wifi bağlantısı harikaydı. Dışarıda uyulamayacak kadar bir gürültü olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Ama sessizliğe çok düşkünseniz sizin tercihiniz. Ayrıca gitmeden önce bana gezilebilecek yerleri, yemek yerlerini, eğlence yerlerini vs. hepsini içeren bir liste gönderdi. Listedeki tercihler gerçekten çok başarılıydı. Sabah 7’de çıkacağımı söyledim ve tam olarak 7’de valizimi indirmeye gelmişti. Bence tereddütsüz konaklanabilecek bir yer. Beğenmediğim herhangi bir durum olmadı
- Peter (9/5): -
- Christine (10/5): - Location close to center and room had veiw of main street great location for restaurants and bars.would visit again .staying in a traditional house stair narrow but not a bad point was a traditional building which brought character Nothing
- JOACHIM (10/5): -
- Dror (10/5): מושלם לביקור עירוני באמסטרדם - המיקום הכי טוב בעיר, ממש במרכז בין התעלות, קרוב לכל האתרים החשובים בעיר ובמחיר שפוי, חדרקטן פרטי עם מקלחת ושירותים, יש בו כל מה שצריך לשהיה של מספר ימים לביקור עירוני.
התקשורת עם הבעלים היתה מיידית ונוחה קבלתי מענה לכל שאלה ומהר.
חלונות גדולים לרחוב צר, עם הרבה אור. מדרגות, אין מה לעשות אבל אם יש לכם בעיה עם מדרגות צרות אז יש כאן הרבה, המקום לא נגיש וצריך לקחת את זה בחשבון, המבנה במרכז העיר קומה אחת מעל חנויות ולכן לא שקט.
- Arron (10/5): - Amazing location and great host
- Katharina (10/5): -
- Jeff (9/5): Excellent location and hospitality, but tough to get a good nights sleep. - Location is great and the host is very friendly and accommodating. Shower was great. Room size and you can hear noise from the outside. The curtains don’t completely cover the windows so light shines in throughout the night.
- Bar Yossef (9/5): -
- Giuseppe (8/5): - la posizione perfetta a poche centinaia di metri da tutto, la disponibilità del gestore e la presenza del bollitore con caffè e the per poter bere qualcosa di caldo al risveglio rapporto qualità prezzo non equilibrato a sfavore del prezzo, stanza molto piccola con poco spazio per gli indumenti e letti singoli avvicinati
- Tamindzija (9/5): -
- francesco giuseppe (8/5): Bene - Ottima pulizia , posizione , anche se piccola accogliente con tutto il necessario.
Vicina a tutte le attrazioni, 10 minuti dalla stazione. Troppo rumorosa la camera , manca di insonorizzazione, sembra di stare per strada, si sentono durante la notte troppi rumori , anche chi soggiorna sopra di sente tutto , peccato. La scala di acceso è piccola, ma accessibile con valigie piccole, non adatta per chi ha difficoltà motorie.

- Karen (8/5): - Room was clean and had everything I needed, Host was very helpful. There was nothing I didn't like; the location was just not for me.
- Casandra (10/5): -
- Michaela (9/5): Had a good stay at Urban Vibes in the center of Amsterdam. - Very clean room, and location in the heart of Amsterdam.
- ian (10/5): Recommend for smokers, best place in 10+ visits - Had a lovely stay with my brother, perfect location very comfortable beds for single beds lots of things supplied in the room by the host. Thank you Barbara for a lovely stay would definitely book again on my next visit. That i couldn't stay longer and had to go home.
- Danial (10/5): -
- Krzysztof (10/5): - Big plus for smoking allowed inside. The only minus are stairs which are very narrow but it’s very common in Netherlands.
- Georgina (10/5): -
- Valerii (8/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): nice little room in a perfect location - The location is perfect, we have everything we need available nearby, restaurant, shopping, coffee shop, girls ! The people who welcomed me were great and very friendly, they give you good advice and lots of good addresses to have a good stay in Amsterdam, I thank them for everything !
- Aykut (10/5): A perfect spot to experience the real Amsterdam. Central, cozy, and with a wonderful host! - The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Amsterdam and within walking distance of everything. You can truly feel the spirit of the city here.
Barbara was incredibly helpful throughout my stay; she even provided a personalized list of recommendations for breakfast, dinner, and places to rent a bike. It made everything so much easier and more enjoyable.
I will definitely stay at this place on my next vacation to Amsterdam. Before arriving, I saw some comments about the stairs, but honestly, they were not a problem at all. In fact, stairs like these are quite common in Amsterdam, so it’s definitely not a downside, just part of the all city!
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Felicity (10/5): clean, comfy room, fantastic host ,great location. A+ - Everything was fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend booking here. Location is so central and fabulous - everywhere in city centre is within walking distance. Room was clean, shower was hot and bed very comfy. Barbara the host is lovely, extremely friendly and helpful and allowed us to stash cases there whilst we enjoyed our last day which was very handy.
I will 100% stay here again when next returning to Amsterdam. Nothing.
- Hernandez (10/5): Everything was amazing! - Everything was perfect! The host was so sweet and helpful. The guest house comes with everything you need, hair dryer, towels, face wash & shampoo, etc. the host allowed us to leave our bags after the checkout which was amazing. Also, the location is perfecttt! Close to everything, only 15 min walk from central station!
- Leo (8/5): Perfect for tourists, maybe not business trips - Very clean, central room in an old school apartment and in the heart of the tourist area. That's pretty cool and definitely worth it when you're a tourist yourself. Since it's next to a busy street with a bar on the opposite side of the street, sleeping before midnight can be difficult unless you fall asleep easily.
Also the stairs are very small and in a tight space so you gotta be careful, especially if you have luggage.
- Graziella (8/5): Very good -
- De (8/5): Very good -
- Gary (10/5): Couldn’t be happier - Location was perfect. We lovingly called our room eclectic bohemian style.
Very wonderful and will be staying there again Nothing
- John (7/5): Central location nice hosts - Great location and the host Barbara was very nice
- Griffa (9/5): Superb - The property is very good located and really close to the majority of attractions. The host was very friendly and gave us a very good local guide.
If you are looking for something comfortable but not too expensive this is the right option.
- Michael (10/5): Great location - Great location in the middle of everything, very clean and has everything you need for your stay. The host is very nice and helpful she gave us loads of recommendations for food and things to do. N/A

Thank you barbara for a nice stay
Brian. there wasnt anything i didnt like about the property
- Petra (10/5): Amazing stay at Urban Vibes Guesthouse - Our room with private bathroom was awesome! Had everything what we needed and even the hairdryer (which is really a + when you are a woman with long hair). Absolutely loved that it was clean, really convenient, and also the location (even tho it's close to the Red Light District) felt really safe and "in the middle of everything", just a few steps away from everything. Also, the host was amazing, really sweet and always available. Would definitely book it again!
- George (8/5): Very good -
- Joe (9/5): Dr grinspoon - the host Barbara was lovely, it was very clean, and bed was very comfy. I would definitely stay again.
- Sherban (7/5): I love the city of Amsterdam, the location was very good-so I'm happy with my choice - Excellent location, clean, good value for your money This is a very old house- sec 17, so the stairs are steep & narrow- you really need to be careful. The room is quite small, I'm not sure 2 (big) guys can fit in there
- David (10/5): Exceptional - The owner of the property is very nice and she helped us with averting we needed.
The location is perfect.👌

- Natasha (10/5): Would stay again - Good location, comfortable bed, welcoming host, value for money
- Sheppard (10/5): Suburban at the Urban... - perfect location if you want to be in the Heart of Amsterdam. Barbara ( owner) is a lovely lady who is full of all the information needed, very welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. Would recommend Urban vibes highly if you like a home from home feel. When we get a chance to go again, this is where we will be staying. very clean and everything you need on your doorstep. Especially the cake shop downstairs ( Yummy ) If you want a quite break book a log cabin in the woods somewhere else.. This place is for the true Amsterdam experience!!!!!!!!!!! Stairs can be tricky after a good night but manageable, your in Amsterdam ( who cares)
Pillows on the bed could be bigger..... and that's it..
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - I loved my stay here. Fantastic location, clean, comfortable room and Barbara was a great host, promptly helping with a query I had. I will return for my next trip.

When i come back to amsterdam, i'll stay here again for sure.

Couldn’t be more pleased and when we visit again we will be coming back here 100%. Thank you! I would say for anyone with difficulty with small spiral stairs be aware as there’s a few but other than that nothing that we didn’t like
