I like how it is conveniently located close to the Van Gogh museum, the Heineken experience and the boat tour that we signed up for. All other tourist spots are 1-2 train stops away. Room is clean and has the essentials. Will book this hotel on our next visit.

Bryce, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful view of the canal from our window. The breakfast in the morning was very handy and the eggs cooked to order were good. There was a rare heat wave (high of 87 F) and the air conditioning was fantastic. The room was cramped for 2 people ( sit on bed to use laptop) and the bed a bit lumpy and hard. Overall very pleasant.

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 While the building's historical aspect is lovely, the overall decor felt quite outdated.

They are renoveting (may 2025). The hotel is a beautifull old building and is on a good spot in town. You can easy walk to every major spot and there is a tramstation near by as well. Its clean. Importante to know if you never been to amsterdam, classic old buildings have steep and nerrow stairways. All in all for a city trip 3-5 days its a nice stay.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location to get to everything either walking or the Metro was super close. The hotel was a little older and everything was clean especially linen and towels but just needed a little updating …

2/10 Poor

The staff is the glue of this property. They made our stay extremely pleasant and enjoyable, thank you! Honest review is that hotel needs renovation. The property is very run down. Not the cleanest and the cherry on top is the paper thin walls. Unless you like listening to other guests walking around, talk and others, sure. Unfortunately this hotel is not for me.
Wai, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Antony John, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

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
timothy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
