What guests think
At Canal House, guests consistently praise the warm, professional staff and the central, historic location, noting comfortable beds and stylish rooms, plus an intimate boutique atmosphere that feels welcoming after days exploring Amsterdam on foot.
A recurring complaint is ineffective air conditioning or warm rooms, sometimes leading to uncomfortable nights and management responses that disappointed a few guests. Room experiences vary: some are spacious with canal or garden views, while others feel small or very dark, with occasional noise and layout quirks like baths in bedrooms and narrow stairs despite a lift. Breakfast is generally enjoyed, though hot options can be limited and inclusion or extra coffee charges caused confusion. Expect a charming boutique stay with standout service and location, but confirm room type and cooling details.

A beautiful hotel with lovely period features, welcoming staff and sumptuous rooms. The staff went all out to make my partners birthday special. They gave us an amazing room on the ground floor that had its own terrace. The facilities were excellent; coffee, tea, fridge, bath, soaps, hairdryer, TV and a very luxurious bath. Breakfast was lovely even though we only made it one day. It would be better to include this in the price or make a note that it is not included so we knew. It was 16 euros so we ended up going out for breakfast most days. Lots of lovely spots nearby. We ate at Yeti, Cafe and Bloom, Greenwoods. We also went for a posh meal at De Bechamel which was outstanding. The only issue with the room was it was quite warm and the air con struggled a bit. Other than that it was perfect. Thanks for our lovely stay!!!

Overall, this was a good location for a few days in Amsterdam. We found the staff friendly, and the property clean. It is an old house, and the stairs to the rooms are narrow, so this is not a place for anyone with mobility issues (of any kind) or those that find using stairs (of any kind) difficult.

The room was nice and had good bathroom but location of our room was above the bar/kitchen area so the noise of loud voices and slamming door went until 11pm or slightly after. Great patio and location and was clean. The room got warm at night and we had to have window open.

This historic building has been renovated into a unique hotel, the kind I look for when traveling. The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed, and the staff members were first rate! They are very attentive and will even explain the history of the building. I would absolutely stay here again. Keep in mind you will need to negotiate short flights of stairs here and there, even if you use the lift.

We absolutely loved this boutique hotel! It started off with Owen (I hope I’m spelling that correctly!) welcoming us like part of the family. He got us checked in, gave us loads of wonderful ideas for things to do and answered all my many questions. Our room was downstairs overlooking the garden. I spent each afternoon in the garden reading. The perfect way to spend a couple restful hours before heading out again. Location, staff and beauty of this hotel made it one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed!! Perfect!!

Boutique hotel with excellent staff (Melanie at the front desk was super helpful - from booking a salon for my wife to tips on where to eat and the neighborhood. The rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. You can enjoy the largest private back garden in Amsterdam with the enclosed solarium. Enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend.

Very friendly staff and good location in Amsterdam but we had many issues here. The air conditioning was not working and we couldn’t switch rooms bc the hotel was full according to them. So we had the windows open (as per staff recommendations) and had to deal with mosquitos at night. We were also given the keys to the wrong room (20 instead of 22 with the wrong number in the key holder on our first night so unfortunately we walked into a couple as they were in bed but still awake (not to be too descriptive here) around 2 am in the middle of the night with the reception staff who was guiding us to our room. Breakfast also didn’t look that special. Also Very dusty thick velvet window curtains. Besides the very friendly staff everything else was not great.

Property is in a historic, 17th century building so that gave the hotel extra charm. The place was clean, the room was large, and the location was fabulous. Two gripes: 1) no warm breakfast options (e.g., omelletes), and 2) I booked a room with a canal view but upon arrival, was told that type of room was subject to availability and none was available for me. The room we received was nice with a garden view but a canal view would’ve been better.

My room was truly horrible, totally dark caused by the decoration and the fact that the only window was behind the headboard (almost impossible to open). After I managed to peak out I realized the reason, it was facing a wall only a few inches away. The price for this room was totally out of proportion !!!

This hotel was in a great area, we were close to many popular destinations. The room however, was extremely small, having travelled to many European countries we expect a smaller room but we barely had any space for our luggage. We also arrived in a heat wave, and we booked under the impression the hotel had air conditioning as stated online, however the air conditioning did not work and our room was 28 degrees. The nights cooled off but the windows only opened a few inches for safety so we were not able to get any air flow. Overall, for the cost of this hotel we were disappointed with our stay.

We booked the room at the top floor. It's beautiful and HUGE, with a great view of the canal. Loved it. Very romantic. Included breakfast is wonderful, fresh and yummy. Just one weird thing, the first cup of coffee is free but they charge for a second cup of coffee. At the price of this room why ask guests to pay for a second cup of coffee. Seems a little petty.

Arrived to find the room uninhabitable due to air conditioning, not working. Spoke with the deputy general manager, who said they had no other rooms to move me to. He agreed that I would not be charged. I then notified Expedia. They called him and he said that I was being charged for one night. I went back to him after discovering this and after much discussion, he agreed that there would be no charge. When I arrived home, I found that he has charged me for both nights!

This is a very charming and historic building which I happen to love. The modern decor is a wonderful complement to the old features. The staff was great -. Esp Melanie who did dinner reservations for me, booked taxis, and even made a to go breakfast bag for me when I had to leave very early for the airport. I had a room facing the garden and you can hear church bells — it didn’t bother me but some people may not like. Easy walking to most of the major tourist spots. Would definitely recommend.

Would have been 5-star but they overbooked and put me in The Toren. Room was great with canal view, but bathroom was not clean, sink was not draining and windows very old that could hear people talking on street loudly late night. Service and staff are very friendly and helpful - free coffee and drinks provided at restaurant, to make up, and also left me personalized note.

It was a quaint European hotel in the heart of town. Convenient for walking and seeing the views. However, the air conditioner did not work efficiently in my room. After i spoke with management, i was given a ton of excuses that were not true. Then i was given a small fan. Management never checked with me again, nor offered any other assistance or help.

Very friendly staff and good location in Amsterdam but we had many issues here. The air conditioning was not working and we couldn’t switch rooms bc the hotel was full according to them. So we had the windows open (as per staff recommendations) and had to deal with mosquitos at night. We were also given the keys to the wrong room (20 instead of 22 with the wrong number in the key holder on our first night so unfortunately we walked into a couple as they were in bed but still awake (not to be too descriptive here) around 2 am in the middle of the night with the reception staff who was guiding us to our room. Breakfast also didn’t look that special. Also Very dusty thick velvet window curtains. Besides the very friendly staff everything else was not great.

They gave us a tour of the property and helped us with our luggage. The hotel was beautiful and conveniently located near Jordaan, which offers tons of restaurants and charm. It’s only a 12 minute walk to Dam Square where you can easily take a tram to other neighborhoods. It’s also steps from the Flagship canal cruise, which was perfect for a sunset ride!

Canal House was beautiful, spacious, and had an incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We were able to easily walk to everything in central Amsterdam and generally loved our time there. Highly recommended.

Staff was very friendly beginning to end. We got great local recommendations. Room was clean, bed comfortable and loved the dark vibe. In a quieter area but walking distance to everything. Definitely recommend!

Our stay here was excellent! The staff were very hospitable. We got given a frat room near the top floor overlooking the canal. The room was very unique. Bed was extremely comfy and the bathroom was very nice! The location is ideal in a great area of town. Very central & close to everything! Highly recommend it!

This is a very charming and historic building which I happen to love. The modern decor is a wonderful complement to the old features. The staff was great -. Esp Melanie who did dinner reservations for me, booked taxis, and even made a to go breakfast bag for me when I had to leave very early for the airport. I had a room facing the garden and you can hear church bells — it didn’t bother me but some people may not like. Easy walking to most of the major tourist spots. Would definitely recommend.

It was a quaint European hotel in the heart of town. Convenient for walking and seeing the views. However, the air conditioner did not work efficiently in my room. After i spoke with management, i was given a ton of excuses that were not true. Then i was given a small fan. Management never checked with me again, nor offered any other assistance or help.

The staff here was absolutely wonderful! When I arrived at 9am from a different hotel, my room was ready! I stayed close to the center because I came for the weekend to celebrate Kingsday. The location was so close to everything and was even near two of my favorite restaurants! It is a 5 minute walk to the Anne Frank House too. I would highly recommend this hotel and will most likely stay here next time I come to Amsterdam.

A beautiful hotel with lovely period features, welcoming staff and sumptuous rooms. The staff went all out to make my partners birthday special. They gave us an amazing room on the ground floor that had its own terrace. The facilities were excellent; coffee, tea, fridge, bath, soaps, hairdryer, TV and a very luxurious bath. Breakfast was lovely even though we only made it one day. It would be better to include this in the price or make a note that it is not included so we knew. It was 16 euros so we ended up going out for breakfast most days. Lots of lovely spots nearby. We ate at Yeti, Cafe and Bloom, Greenwoods. We also went for a posh meal at De Bechamel which was outstanding. The only issue with the room was it was quite warm and the air con struggled a bit. Other than that it was perfect. Thanks for our lovely stay!!!

We booked the room at the top floor. It's beautiful and HUGE, with a great view of the canal. Loved it. Very romantic. Included breakfast is wonderful, fresh and yummy. Just one weird thing, the first cup of coffee is free but they charge for a second cup of coffee. At the price of this room why ask guests to pay for a second cup of coffee. Seems a little petty.

Would have been 5-star but they overbooked and put me in The Toren. Room was great with canal view, but bathroom was not clean, sink was not draining and windows very old that could hear people talking on street loudly late night. Service and staff are very friendly and helpful - free coffee and drinks provided at restaurant, to make up, and also left me personalized note.

Property is in a historic, 17th century building so that gave the hotel extra charm. The place was clean, the room was large, and the location was fabulous. Two gripes: 1) no warm breakfast options (e.g., omelletes), and 2) I booked a room with a canal view but upon arrival, was told that type of room was subject to availability and none was available for me. The room we received was nice with a garden view but a canal view would’ve been better.

The staff met us on the steps upon our arrival and greeted us with welcome drinks; then they took our bags and showed us to our rooms. A fantastic welcome. That level of service continued throughout our entire stay. All the staff were wonderful. When we return, this is where we’ll stay! A perfect location, a cozy hotel, and the best staff. See you soon!
