We stayed at the Seven Bridges for a week. We had one of the modest, street-level studios rather than one of the highly decorated upstairs rooms because that was what was available. This meant we had no breakfast provided by the hotel. At first, I was disappointed by the room itself and the lack of a convenient breakfast, but I soon got used to the lack of carpeting and began to realize how nice it was to have the kitchenette. We quickly found a nearby grocery and stocked up, then made our own breakfast each morning.

Since we were lodging “outside” the main hotel, we never saw the management except when we arrived and when we left. Both of them seemed quite amiable and helpful, offering us a very useful town map as well as advice, etc., so I wish we had seen more of them. We never saw the maid service, either, but they came every day and did a good job of keeping things clean.

The location was nearly perfect for our needs, since Seven Bridges is located midway between the train station and the museum district. We took a cab there when we arrived, which cost a lot, but by the time we left a week later, we knew which tram to use, and it was about a Euro to get back to the train station. If you wear good walking shoes, you can walk to almost every location in the City that is of tourist interest, which is what we did.

I think our area was one of the most charming around. In fact, the canal boat tours all paused at the end of our street, to allow passengers to photograph "our" canal and its line of bridges. We felt lucky to be staying where we were. At night, when the bridge arches are lit up, it is just magical.

On the same street as the Seven Bridges is a wonderful Italian restaurant. Just a minute's walk down the street takes you to the Rubensplein, a large social square lined with places to eat and drink. Multiple tram lines stop there every few minutes. Once you get familiar with the city's tram system, everything is within reach.

Given that many hotels in Amsterdam are in the $250 to $350 range per night, we consider our studio at the Seven Bridges to have been acceptable. However, I would say that, if you are used to highly refined accommodations, you might want to pass on the lower-level room we had. It had a college-student air to it. The nicer rooms upstairs undoubtedly are more pleasant, although they cost significantly more.

Stayed last May 1st for 7 nights. My room was just perfect - comfortable, clean, good size and nicely decorated with antiques furnitures. Delicious breakfast is delivered to your room every morning. Pierre, Erik, and especially Gunter, you are great hosts! Thank you for making my stay an enjoyable experience! I will definitely return to Amsterdam and to Seven Bridges!!!

My wife and I stayed here may 9-13, 2007. When I originally tried to book a room, they were sold out, but put me on a waiting list which opened up after approx 5 days. we stayed in room #4 on ground floor which consisted of a double bed, small sitting area with table and 2 chairs, spotless bathroom and lovely view into the garden/courtyard.

Gunter and Erik were extremeley helpful in booking restaurant reserverations, sightseeing etc. We ate at Jamie Oliver's 15 which was fantastic. It is located a little out of the way on the river in a new area of amsterdam. Great service, super atmosphere and exceptional food!!!

The location of the hotel was fairly central. We thought about getting the Iamsterdam card or a 3 day tram pass, but decided against it after the first day. We ended up walking most of the time and purchased a stripenkart to get us home when we didn't feel like walking.

Breakfast was included and was amazing! served to our room at a time previously arranged with Gunter. Plentiful, fresh and very tasty.

I would highly recommend this property. It is a boutique hotel and each room has character and appeal.

Would stay here again without hesitation. Many thanks to Gunter and Erik for an excellent vacation.

We were extremely happy with this hotel. The owners kindly let us check in very early as we had been flying all night and the room was vacant. The staff were friendly, breakfast was lovely, the rooms are delightful, the position is excellent, the price is very reasonable, what more could you want. Just be aware that the higher floors might be difficult for elderly and infirm.
