We had a canal view room on the lst floor that turns out to be a walk-up on steep, curvy, narrow steps. We asked for a room with a bath...we got that, but we had to walk down the hall, passed another room, in a hall way that squeaked when you walked to use the bathroom... Unconfortable feeling with someone... More

If we consider that average accomodations in Amsterdam are very small and expensive, our staying was not too bad. The room was big and on the groud floor. We had a kitchen and a small bathroom en-suite. It is perfect for a family. Everything is at walking distance, that is great for a city like Amsterdam. What we did not... More

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we had such a great weekend. We loved this guest house, we had the family suite which is huge! It is on the ground floor but can still see the canal. Such a perfect location, able to walk everywhere, we didn't use public transport the entire weekend. I would recommend staying... More

Do not stay here. I booked the canal view suite for my husbands suprise trip to Amsterdam. When we arrived we were allocated a room, not a suite with no window. I was in tears, we paid £250 euro for what was basically a bed sit. I rang the door bell of the house next door where Ken lived, he... More

This is a really lovely place. It’s situated on the north side of the Amstel Canal and only a short walk from the main streets leading up to Dam Square. However, where the guest house is situated itself is very quiet. Also, Rembrandt Square is close by on the other side of the canal, with lots of bars and restaurants.... More

The location is very close to the main attractions of the city. However, the location is very quiet with no traffic. Staff is helpful and flexible. We traveled with four adults and a baby and had stayed in the deluxe and family rooms. Both of the rooms are large, beautifully decorated and well cleaned. Both rooms have nice view, especially...

Beware this is a guest house, not a hotel. Two rooms and not safe. We stayed for two nights, nice location but there was party next door so we couldn't get asleep. Front door was always unlocked. It says there's a continental breakfast, but this is misleading information you have to prepear yourself in your room and very poor breakfast... More

The Amstel Canal Guest House is located right in the heart of the city on the Amstel River and is run by an amazing host - Ken. We visited Amsterdam in July and thank our lucky stars we chose to stay at the Amstel Canal Guest House. We had hoped for a romantic get-away and Ken went out of his... More

The front room with the windows has a BEAUTIFUL view of Amstel Canal--amazing. Room is very clean and comfortable, and location is great. Ken and Alain, the owners, live downstairs and were very nice. We paid an extra 50 euro and got a very pleasant boat ride around Amsterdam on their private boat. Downsides: Bathroom is across the shared hall,... More
