“Amsterdam Canal Hotel sits in a prime location for museum hopping and canal-side ambles. I found the complimentary happy hour particularly charming, a thoughtful touch that encourages guests to unwind, while the breakfast gets high marks, especially the omelets. Rooms facing the canal might mean tram noise, but the view and included mini-bar make it worthwhile.”

A reasonable stay

great location complimentary happy hour steep stairs frosting privacy
The location of the hotel was great. It was very close to a metro stop. There was also a complimentary happy hour between 4pm and 6pm each day. That included free drinks!
The stairs to the rooms were steep. Guests must be able to navigate them. The bathroom glass wall in my room needed more frosting. This was to provide privacy while in use. That was not ideal.

stale crackers expensive parking
The happy hour was a complete joke. The snacks were stale crackers. the location was perfect! though the parking was expensive. the room was small and stuffy. The promised canal view was mostly a view of a brick wall. it did not make up for the lack of space or air conditioning.
