I’ve never stayed at a place like this before!

This was a quirky stay, with very good location. We stayed there for three nights, the location is perhaps a 10 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station and the centre of Amsterdam. However we did have a few issues with the place. First of all, it wasn’t very private, the only way to have privacy is to close all of the blinds, which works, however isn’t pleasant 24/7. Another issue we faced was an extreme amount of condensation and water each morning on all surfaces (pictures attached) which obviously isn’t the nicest. Also, the bathroom was down two flights of spiral stairs and it did not have a sink in it to wash hands after using the toilet. In addition, the first person to have a shower in the morning was faced with a sewage smell and with the bathroom being below ground there is no window to get rid of the smell. Despite this, the checking in and out was really simple and again a good location, just not quite what was expected.

This is a very unique stay with a nice history. It almost feels like you are a lighthouse keeper. It is a former bridge operator tower. The bathroom and shower are at the bottom of the structure, so just know you will walk up and down steps so be in average or above average shape. The privacy is there, but you have to draw large pink curtains. Overall it was clean, but not the cleanest. It was very safe and the location is perfect for walking to Centraal Station or the city center in 10mins. Great access to a lot of dining options and close to free ferry's that take you to Noord where you can enjoy NDSM, Film Museum and A Dam Tower. Room is limited, ideal for a couple. It is a unique and therefor memorable stay. Its not for everybody, but I liked that it was different. Nothing else like it!

Enjoyed staying here - unique views of the river and city. Comfortable place, well designed and well cared-for. Nice welcome note and everything was very clean. Lots of useful information provided. Manager very responsive on email when I had a question.

Super locatie aan het IJ. Brughuisje is erg leuk. Prachtig uitzicht en door de hogere ligging geen langslopende mensen. Veel te zien en doen in de buurt.
