It would have been worth upgrading to a canal view room as my room faced the Main Street which was very noisy. There is no lift and very narrow stairs make heavy suitcases difficult. There is no aircon so my room was very hot.

Staff were great and got us into our room early so we could rest before heading out. The hotel is old and a true Amsterdam row house so if you can’t do stairs then request a room on main floor. Rooms were cute, comfy beds. Bathrooms are small but expected that. Air conditioning recently installed so that was a plus! The happy hour was a great way to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. Breakfast was very good with lots of options. Really enjoyed our stay!

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.

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.

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.

Air conditioning was not working 2 nights of my 3 night stay. Some electric outlets not working. No lift when staying on third floor is rough. Multiple television channels not coming through. Young staff that seem to be trying but not up to the task. Location was good. Not a terrible place but would not recommend. Free happy hour was nice. Lesson: you get what you pay for.

This is a typically quaint traditional Amsterdam hotel, with steep stairs (no lift) and canal views (from some rooms). It's currently under renovation and needs some updating but rooms are having air conditioning fitted and the lobby has had an update which looks much more professional. The staff are all really lovely and helpful and any issues quickly and efficiently dealt with. So for any prospective visitors bear in mind that it is a project under way, but at the end of the day, it's a place to sleep when visiting and the rooms are comfortable. A major plus is the daily FREE 'Happy Hour' (16.00 - 18.00) with beer, wines, coffee and snacks provided. Would we go back, most certainly!

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.

Do not stay here. There were bed bugs in the room and we had to leave in the middle of the night. We were bit and our bags were effected. They would not refund us for it. The room had a broken ac unit that was leaking onto the floor and the open window left the room noisy and let more bugs in. We lasted roughly 3 hours in the hotel before leaving. Do not stay here

Great location, easy to access all areas of the city either on foot or using the public transport system. Room was clean and tidy, however it was located in the basement which fronted the main road. Access to the room was right next to the breakfast area. It was called a deluxe room. Unfortunately that was not an accurate description at all. Two single b ds pushed together with a mattress topper finishing off the ensemble. Evertime we left the room we would literally bump into someone grabbing food. Not ideal at all.

The best of the hotel is its location. The subway is in walking distance; it is close to the museums. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and gave good advice about the city. There is a happy hour in the hotel with free drinks between 4pm and 6pm every day. The stairs to the rooms are steep; you need to be able to navigate them.

We stayed here for only 2 nights and if we were to stay longer we would have cancelled. The air conditioner did not work and we were on the top floor. It was way too hot to sleep. They provided a fan which did not do much. We had to keep the window open to make it bearable but the area is so loud at night we did not sleep a wink the entire time. The afternoon bar with wine and snacks was nice. However I would not stay here again if the A/C is not working. They should not be booking the rooms with no A/C. Very disappointing.
