Incredibly good location, close enough to town but far enough away from the chaos. Only criticism is that the stairs are narrow and steep - meaning you feel every kg in your suitcase. Worth it though. The happy hour downstairs everyday was a great extra touch and a good way to wind down. Id recommend this hotel to anyone going to Amsterdam

Very well located. Staff were lovely, spacious room with a good bathroom. Glad we chose the bed and breakfast option, continental breakfast and also a member of staff available to cook breakfast eggs and bacon. We would stay here again, convenient for walking to all the major tourist pit stops.

BAD BED BUG PROBLEM! It ruined our stay in Amsterdam. We are an older couple who flew internationally for a 4 day trip to celebrate our anniversary. We were severely bitten by bed bugs from head to toe. We told the staff about our bites and they said there was no evidence it was from the hotel. They made us feel like liars. We requested a room change and were denied. The next morning we woke up and found bugs on the bed sheets (see video). After the staff saw it for themselves they had to agree that there was a bed bug issue. Our bites were so extensive that we could not do any more activities during our stay. Excite Hotels (managing Amsterdam Canal Hotel), refused to cover our vacation expenses such as missed day trips, ticket expenses, luggage, dry cleaning, cloths or the intense pain and suffering. They said your travel insurance (we did not have any) should cover other expenses and only our room cost was refunded. This room was in the building where the café is. Other reviews for this hotel complain of bed bugs so this is not a one-time issue. Other room issues: towels in bathroom not changed, shower drainage problem, excessive heat in room and faulty TV.

We arrived and all was fine at the hotel. We then went to bed at around midnight when the ceiling started to leak and continually pour from the ceiling into the bath. It was coming from an air vent. We informed the night man who at first told us there was nothing he could do. Meanwhile, guests above were screaming, banging and generally being extremely loud. The night man then returned and told us we could move rooms. We were happy with this as it was now 1am and had a long day of travel so sleep was needed. Whilst we were in our new room, the night man then proceeded to empty the bins, understandable, however then began to whack the bin and rubbish with a metal spade. We discovered that our window was a struggle to shut whilst we were seeing what the loud noise was so early into the morning. The next morning, we went to the reception and was greeted by two two friendly ladies who were apologetic about the nights events. One of the ladies said we were able to stay in our room. We then were met with an extremely rude lady, named Raquel, who was not understanding an evening situation. The other receptionists were trying to tell her. She was rude to them and told us we had to go back to our previous room that was leaking and unsafe. We said we would not be doing this. She continued to roll her eyes, huff and starting to say ‘go go’ ‘leave’ to which we found extremely rude and poor service. We were then on edge and made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in the hotel .
