The Bridge Hotel

I give four stars for central location and the morning breakfast and helpful staff.
The metro, restaurants, bars and a great neighborhood are all there. Love this hotel because I got to walk through the neighborhood (the hotel does rent bicycles) and it was not in the crowded tourist area.
The rooms get three stars for size of the room but they are clean and comfy. For the price, the staff and location, I would definitely stay here again.

No complaints. This hotel is nothing fancy. It is a three star facility, and definitely doesn’t boast to be something it is not. It is conveniently located along the Amstel canal, and is within walking distance of the underground metro line and several above ground tram lines. The front desk is staffed 24 – 7 which is always a plus should anything go wrong. The staff were also friendly. The rooms were also clean and standard sized. The breakfast buffet is nothing to write home about, but it wasn’t horrid. Great price, great night sleep, no bed bugs. I would stay there again!

Not the greatest place in the world. The rooms are small, customer service was so-​so, and we couldn’t get our shower to work! When we asked for help, no one would come up. The location isn’t the best, either. There are definitely better places to stay.

Stayed at this hotel for a couple of days as part of an official function in Amsterdam. The hotel is at the Amstel canal in the center of Amsterdam. So the location is pretty fantastic. Easy walking distance to just about everywhere.
The hotel is 3-​star, so middle of the road. The rooms are pretty basic. My room had a bed, a 14″ television (yep), a chair and a small table. There is place to store your cloth. The bathrooms are OK in size, but be aware it comes without soap, you have to bring your own soap. Really! So not to impressed by the rooms.
The breakfast is in a nice room on the first floor. The breakfast is cold /​continental with bread, meat cuts, marmelade, … coffee/​tea and cereal. Not very fancy, but good quality.
You can get access to the internet for ²⁴⁄₄₈ hours. Not sure about the cost.
Fantastic location, OK breakfast, but very spartanic rooms.

I’ve been going yearly to this hotel since 2004 and every stay has been enjoyable (save for the cons below). I can’t comment on the costs of the hotel since all of my stays here have been through a company that I used to work for. This three star hotel features large but stark rooms with large bathroom. It’s centrally located, near the subway (station is Weesperplein), and near the touristy areas of Amsterdam.
The continental breakfast (cereal, meats, yogurt, toast, etc) is of decent quality but make sure you don’t eat everything in one sitting. The breakfast is the same every day and you will get tired of it very quickly if you don’t try something new each day. The staff (Nancy and all the rest) are very friendly and I’ve spent hours over the years chatting with them in the «bar» next to the front desk. This is a very enjoyable hotel and will definitely use it each time I’m in Amsterdam. Now for the cons that made my stay interesting, to say the least:
— This hotel introduced me to the German toilet and, as an American, I am NOT amused:
Ok. So imagine me lifting up the seat and find a SHELF sitting there staring at me. So I roll with it, open up my fly, my pee hits the shelf and sprays EVERYWHERE! Gaaahhh! Stupid, stupid shelf! So the next time I go it feels like I’m in the Olympics as I aim for a tiny, tiny bit of water on the front of the bowl. Now imagine the adventure when I go sit down and poo. So there I am sitting on the throne, I push, and within a few seconds I start to sneeze from the smell wafting up. I look between my legs and there’s what looks like a tanned, drunken Jabba the Hutt smirking at me. Gaaahhh!!! Nooo!!! So I flush the nasty thing and you would NOT believe the skidmarks that followed. It was like an airplane crashed over land and spread itself out for miles. It took multiples flushes to get it close to clean. With this type of toilet I carefully learned how to «dump and run» and make sure that I have fiber throughout the day. Gaahh! Stupidest toilet design and much, much worse than the effects of squatting too high on a squat toilet and suffering the aftereffects of an asteroid-​impact-​like explosion as «things» hit the water.
— When the housekeeper cleans the room they would sometimes leave the balcony doors open to air out the room. Of course, Amsterdam being surrounded by canals everywhere, mosquitoes would fly into your room and make themselves at home. I’ve spent nights awake as tiny little mosquitoes buzzed my ear and I would box my ears trying to swat at them. I’ve made myself deaf on a few occasions as I missed and hit my ear. Ugh! Bring some DEET or citronella candles in case this happens.
— Make sure you pack light. There are no elevators and the stairs are small and steep. You have been warned.
Overall, all of my stays at The Bridge Hotel were enjoyable and I would highly recommend them.

I adored this hotel for many reasons. Normally when I hear that a hotel is rated as being 3 star I am some what discouraged in using their services. I suggested this hotel for a friend of mine who was visiting over the holiday break because I thought the location was ideal and the prices were reasonable. Plus I was completely familiar with the hotel because I stayed here once and enjoyed my stay. My room was only 100 euros, which is not bad… if you are looking for something last minute like I was at the time. My room and bathroom was nice. I had a lovely view overlooking the Amstel River and boathouses.
–Pros about this hotel it’s located in the center of Amsterdam.
–Surrounded by plenty of tourist attractions
–Convenient which means you don’t need a car. Near public transportation or your in a great location where you can just walk to most destinations.
–Location is placed in a nice, quiet, and friendly neighborhood
— Close proximity to restaurants, markets, museums, theaters and shops.
–Provides a continental breakfast.
Cons
–If your looking for a 5 star hotel with plenty of hotel facilities well this is not it. But I honestly didn’t see anything wrong with this hotel. Service and facilities are good. I stumbled on this hotel because I needed a place to stay last minute, which was a plus for me because it’s definitely something I would recommend to friends instead of using my place as a hotel.:)

I really liked the location of this hotel (on the Amstel and close to the Centrum) and I enjoyed our room. It is not 5-​star but then we can not afford a 5-​star. The room was clean and a good size (we had a view of a canal). The breakfast, which I finally got to enjoy the last day I stayed there, was more than enough and enjoyable (nice dining room). There is no parking, so you have to rely on street parking, but you really don’t need a car with this location.
