Stayed for 4 nights with my wife at the Canal House and found my perfect Amsterdam hotel - only to discover that it's been sold and shuts down for 9 months on 3rd May for a total refurbishment and all the staff have been laid off. No matter how much the new owners spend I can't imagine them improving on... more

It took us a while to find the hotel in the dark so I would recommend a good map, but it was certainly worth it! We had a lovely welcome despite it being late in the evening and from the moment we opened the substantial front door it was like stepping back into another age! Our room was furnished with... more

Just returned from the Canal House.Stayed for 3 nights in room 15 - a small but perfectly formed room,with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the canal. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and shower nice and hot. The hotel is full of nooks and crannies and antique furniture - the dining room is absolutely beautiful. Breakfasts were great particularly... more

The Canal House Hotel is an elegant, beautifully furnished, small hotel in an ideal part of central Amsterdam. Within easy walking distance for public transport and many tourist attractions, yet in a quiet canalside street. We were nicely welcomed and offered a choice of two rooms. Our room was clean and comfortable and overlooked the garden which must be delightful... more

I had a lovely double room, very spacious with flat screen TV and a huge white marble bathroom (room 19). Breakfast was served in the most amazing lounge, very smartly laid... more

My husband and I, older travelers, stayed at the Canal House for a week in October. We prefer hotels with some personality as opposed to the sterile, impersonal atmosphere of the large chains. The Canal House was perfect. The staff was accommodating and friendly, the breakfast (and the breakfast room!) was marvelous. Our room was large, comfortable and overlooked the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Canal House for 3 nights in November of 2007. It is in a wonderful location. It's owners are very genial and helpful. It is easily walkable from Centraal Station if you are reasonably healthy and your luggage rolls well on cobblestones. Please be advised that the rooms do not contain a television set,... more

I stayed at Canal House with my wife for 4 nights in Oct, 07. The location is superb, and I definitely recommend the rooms facing the canal. No TV, no minibar. The TV? Why a TV if you are in Amsterdam? The minibar? Well, it would be welcome. Nice breakfast room, food at breakfast just OK, but above average comparing... more

My husband and I have been to Amsterdam many times for business and short breaks. This was our first stay at this hotel and we were not disappointed. The location is convenient, views from the rooms over the canal were lovely, breakfast excellent.Free wifi, hairdryer, small desk area. Rooms were not very large and small storage space but good for... more
