I traveled to Amsterdam to do a graphic design internship for my college here in Arizona. I stayed with Marcel in his home for 3 weeks and lived like a local the whole time. The location was amazing and when I told my Dutch co-workers where I was staying they were all impressed with the location. Marcel himself if a... more

I liked Marcel's Creative Exchange from the the minute my fiancé and I walked in the door. He met us at the door-walking us up the stairs to show us our room and then taking us on a tour of his beautifully and artfully decorated apartment. The tour ended on the roof garden, with Marcel pointing out different areas of... more

The Creative Exchange may be a B&B by name, but it is much more than that indeed. I've been staying here when visiting Amsterdam for some years now, and it's always been a comfort and pleasure. The proprieter, Marcel Van Woerkom, is as much not your average innkeeper--he's an accomplished artist and long-time Amsterdamer--as this place is not your average... more

I have been a few times in Amsterdam and in many B&B but Marcel's place is the most charming place i ever been. PLEASE don't be pull off by the non positive feedbacks you might find on this website, this place is a must see. Marcel is a truly gentlement, really welcoming and always up for a laugh but you... more

So, I asked if I could book a triple room but also asked if there'd be a difference in price if one of our party had to leave a day early and it'd therefore be a twin room. Marcel's response: "Please ask HOTELS what will happen if you leave a day early and you booked all the nights ?" I... more

I asked Marcel for a quote to stay in his B&B and when I declined his offer fto stay somewhere more central he "went off on one". I was polite in all of my correspondence to him - but he angered me so much my last email to him was straight to the point and not so pleasant (he asked... more

Reading other reviews I think this place must be one of those people dividers, you either loved or hated your time at Marcel's. All I can do is give my take. A group of four of us stayed for two night's at Marcel's B&B. On arrival we were pleased with the suite of rooms we had been given, two bedrooms... more

Dear Traveler, if you want to have a nice time in Amsterdam, stay anywhere but not here.We went there because of the nice rooms. But it´s the loudest place you can imagine. And that´s only the smallest problem. The owner, Marcel, seems to be a nice person, at first. But he is someone you should be warned of: he is... more

Having read some of the reviews after we'd booked i was wondering if we'd made a huge mistake! But infact we had a great stay 5 nights of great fun! Marcel was the most fantastic guy very interesting and full of good ideas of where to go and what to do and at 72 has more energy than people i... more
