We spent a week at the Amsterdam Canal Hotel and were very happy with our choice. Very well situated, just a 15/20 minute walk to the town center & museums. The breakfast was delicious and the complimentary happy hour was really enjoyable, we loved sitting by the canal after a day of sightseeing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

We loved the balcony room overlooking the canal we stayed in. Staff were friendly and so helpful with any questions. Stairs are steep and narrow and there is no lift which was fine for us but may not be for others. We would definitely stay here again.

We were so happy with our accommodation. Sasha at the desk was very helpful. Morning coffee on the patio on the canal was a dream come true. We loved the “happy hour” Provided by the hotel- it was a great way to meet other guests. The room was historical, romantic and well maintained. We loved Amsterdam and would definitely stay there again.

The view of the canal in the back rooms is wonderful. Location is great — easy walking distance to the Rijksmuseum and tram lines. Stairs are a challenge is you’re traveling with heavy cases.

This location is great if you don’t want the loudness of the centrum/downtown area. The staff was great. The breakfast was a lovely way to start each day. We rented bikes and felt they were safe being locked up in that neighborhood. We felt our room had a great view of the canal. Bed was comfortable. We’d stay again!

This place worked well for us because we mostly used our room to sleep then were out all day. However, it is very small and many things are outdated. The complimentary happy hour was a huge bonus.

Generally loved the room. It's an old wooden building but the view from the top room overlooking the canal is definitely the selling point. Bathroom was compact but well maintained. The main door took some effort to close as it's an old door. Didn't have the breakfast option but I would definitely come back and stay again
Double bed was lovely and you can sleep looking out to the Canal

Being in the historic district, travellers must know that there is no lift so you must carry your luggage up to your room. Some rooms have air conditioning, ours did not but there was a fan so that helped! The hotel is very walkable to many landmarks, museums, restaurants etc. We walked everywhere but you’re also close to transit to get to those places that are farther away. We only had two days in Amsterdam, so our proximity to those points of interest was paramount.
