Amsterdam

Our room was the best. Balcony over looking the canal. Free wine and apps for happy hour. Breakfast buffet and cooked to order. Very helpful staff.

Amazing stay

Location was great, wakable distance, yet not in the caos of city Center. View from room amazing. Staff súper friendly. Details such as cava as a welcome present, ir free happy hour in the afternoon were amazing. Breakfast delicious. The only con las the stairs. Heretage building with sharp stairs made it very difficult with bags.

Perfect night to recharge after a long journey. Room was big with a comfortable bed. Loved it!

10/10 Exceptional

A great hotel, in a great position. Located in the south of the city, near a metro station (for links to the rail network and the airport) and near the market. The more touristy/central area is around a 15-20 minute walk. We plan to visit the city again and will definitely look to stay at this hotel again.

Excellent service for the price… fabulous staff…quick walk to Meteo and very close to Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum! Cute rooms and lovely breakfast available… nice daily happy hour downstairs

Charming hotel but not for everyone

The Amsterdam Canal Hotel boasts a fantastic location and beautiful historical charm. The staff were genuinely nice, which was a definite plus. However, our stay was significantly impacted by a broken air conditioning unit, leaving the room uncomfortably hot with no effective solution offered beyond opening windows. The bed also wasn't the most comfortable. While the building's historical aspect is lovely, the overall decor felt quite outdated.

Walking distance to the Metro station and to everyone we wanted to go.

Staff was amazing and it was a nice hotel but it's under construction and the stairs were a workout.

Do not stay here. Rooms are uninhabitable

My friend and I stayed here the first night of a three-night reservation, and we had to leave early because the room was just so hot. The window could barely open to get airflow. I called the receptionist to ask for a fan or something to increase airflow and ventilation, but they said that they don’t and they encouraged me to open the window as much as possible because the room gets hot. The fact they knew how hot the room gets and they continue to rent it out without describing that upfront is inhumane. I attached a picture of how little the window opens. If you care about your health, do not stay here.
Juan, 3-night trip

While I enjoyed that hotel is in a very old building, I wish I knew earlier there is no elevator, the steps were very narrow. The bed was very comfortable, staff were very helpful. Overall it was a nice experience.

Overall the hotel was nice and in a very central location. Unfortunately the room wasn’t very clean and up to standards as we were expecting. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The property is just ok. I think what did it for us was that their WiFi wasn’t working for three days out of our five day trip.

Nice location

Really comfortable bed & pillows and nice decor. Lovely big bath & nice toiletries and liked the bonus yoga mat hidden in the wardrobe. We were lower ground floor and the trams start quite early but we still slept OK but one of us uses earplugs. Nice location with lots of restaurants nearby and not far from a big grocery store. Staff were really friendly and we could drop our bags off prior to check-in and also on our day of departure which was really handy. Yes we'd go back again as it was in a location that we liked and we had a lovely stay.
Jane, 3-night trip

Great place to stay. Very convenient being walking distance to the grocery store, restaurants and the metro. Staff was very helpful too. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great Location, needs improvements

The location of this hotel is great, and the back patio is right on the canal and pairs very well with the daily open bar. However, the place was falling apart in several ways. I was in a room on the top floor (canal view) which was technically true but the position and sizes of the windows didn't really afford a good view. One of the shower heads was in disrepair (the handheld still worked), an electrical outlet was literally falling apart, the air conditioning didn't work for a time, and the front door key entry didn't work one night, though the attendant was there to let me in. I brought up these issues and asked to change rooms which wasn't possible due to capacity and I was offered a free breakfast. In return I asked for free breakfast every day and I think they said yes but I wasn't eating breakfast there anyway, I was going to a neighborhood bakery and a place called "locals" which was good. I thought the cleanliness of the room could have been improved too. I wasn't overly bothered by the condition and I'm not too picky, I still had a great time, and, like mentioned earlier, the canal-side patio, open bar, and location made it worthwhile. But the place WAS falling apart, or at least my room was.
