This is a very nice spot. A quiet spot in the center and quite spacious. Enough space for a table and sofa, wardrobe. Other sweets hotel locations we have visited were all smaller than this one. The layout of this location is somewhat less innovative, because that is not necessary at the moment.When we showered in the evening, the fan did not turn off. As it turned out, you have to turn off the lamp, then the fan also turns off. We had called someone from the hotel for this, who was apparently awakened by our call. That gives you a guilty feeling.

Luxurious seclusion in the bustling city You have your own island with your own private access to the canal. Here you can relax and quickly get to the center: a 15-minute walk to the Central Station. The house is equipped with everything you need, there is a place to work with a PC, the filter coffee is very tasty. The bed is comfortable and large. Currently, the bridge itself over the canal is being reconstructed, but all work is carried out during working hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The noise is not felt, but the scenery is a little construction around.

NOTE: THERE IS ONGOING renovation of the bridge since october 2022, so you will get the house but without a bridge.Big dissapointment when come from far away for a special occasion. We asked for refund, which we got but still, the hotel management must inform of these kind of issues beforehand. When you look from the windows of the tiny house, all you see is garbage and renovation fences.Not taking into account that, clean house and close to nice cafes. Without bridge, not worth the price otherwise you can stay just in a basic hotel for cheap or go to a 4-5 star hotel in center.

One of the best hotel stays ever. No neighbours through the walls, non-touristy neighbourhood, close to cafes, restaurants, and the Maritime Museum. I only wish I had more time in this cozy, happy space. Zero service issues, the place was spotless (and pretty un-level), and check-in and out were seamless. Can't wait to return!

Excellent experience overall. I was looking for somewhere central and cozy for a couples holiday and this was perfect. I was worried that it might be noisy with the nearby busy road and what looked like construction work on the nearby bridge (a bit of a shame that the bridge wasn't there for our stay) but it was actually very peaceful and had no trouble getting to sleep. The bed was very comfy.We were greeted by a handwritten note welcoming us which was a nice touch. It was great to read through the SWEETS Hotel book to learn more about the history of the bridge house. There were some spirit levels left in the room which I thought was a funny nod to how crooked the house was.We had dinner at a vegan sushi bar and breakfast at Bakers & Roasters, both very nearby and both delicious.I have no complaints but if I had to be critical I was a little confused by the three different heating options which all had different controls (bedroom radiator, aircon, and toilet radiator which was especially awkward) but it was nice and warm very quickly once we figured it out.To sum up, it had all the perks of an Airbnb (independence, have the place to yourself, feel like a resident) with the luxury feel of a hotel (fresh towels and slippers, big comfy bed, very clean and well organised).We are already planning our next trip to another bridge house!

My friend and I had an amazing stay at SWEETS hotel Scharrebiersluis. The room is decorated nicely and is more spacious than you might think. We stayed here during Amsterdam Light Festival and the location was perfect as many light installations were close by!

Location excellent - next to the oldest Amsterdams pub de Druif. Bakker von Ost also opens early so you can get a fresh juice & crossant for your partner while she/he will prepare. House is bit crooked - but I love it! Even bigger charm!

Eighteen months ago, during the first Corona lockdown, I had my first date here with my now girlfriend. Great Date! :)This was our first bridge house from SweetsHotels, but we are now really fans of these houses and regularly book one. This one at the free beer lock now 4 timesHighly recommended!

Very nice house in a wonderful location in Amsterdam. The house is very crooked/sagging, but fortunately the bed is perfectly straight :-). Still highly recommended.

Together we decided to stay one night in a bridge keeper's house. The photos on the website looked so nice, cozy and cozy. Ultimately we opted for bridge keeper's house 203 - Scharrebiersluis, and the real house did not live up to expectations, wonderfully cozy and in the middle of a pleasant neighborhood, but still private. Fully equipped, as far as possible on 18m2 ;). Opening the door with the app was a piece of cake, making check-in and check-out very easy. No hassle with picking up keys or the like at another location.We also opted for the breakfast service, which is highly recommended. This was brought in the morning and was very extensive and fresh, a wonderful start to the day.Definitely recommended, we are already looking forward to next time.

Super friendly customer service spoken prior to our stay. The hotel room itself was nice and clean and in a unique location. I thought the overnight stay was quite pricey for what you got (for the same money you can book a 4-star hotel room in the Netherlands incl. breakfast) but of course you also pay for the experience.

Enjoyed a wonderful night in Amsterdam at its best. Enjoyed the bridge keeper's house at the Scharrebiersluis and was surprised with a delicious breakfast in the morning. Recommended!

Unusual and really great! In a fairly quiet area but not too out of the way. The house is very pleasant and nicely decorated. Perfect for a romantic getaway to Amsterdam

Just off the busy center, with a real feeling of Amsterdam and great places to eat right in the area. A unique experience. Clean room/suite, wonderful interior design, very private, reasonable priced. Easy check in routine, online.

so nice between two great neighborhoods (the Plantage neighborhood and the warm neighborhood of Amsterdam) so dead quiet in Amsterdam even before the cafe opening. Very nice experience.
