Canal Suites Amsterdam

Spacious apartment, well furnished. Provided both a portable ac unit and a floor fan, so the apartment wasn’t sweltering. Great location on a quieter side street, but still very close to main attractions. Staff were very responsive to requests and inquiries. Nice to have a gas stove instead of induction cooktop.

The room itself was beautiful. Loved the large windows that looked onto the canal and the large living room. However, we were there during a heat wave and it was awful being in a room with no air conditioning. We left the front windows open while we were in the apartment but couldn’t leave them open when we were out as there was no screens. This was a major draw back as it was quite unpleasant in the room during a heat wave. I also found areas of the room could have been cleaner. For example, the top of the clothing rank was very dusty and the top of the windows frames were very dusty as well. We also had to clean out the filter in the air conditioning unit when we got into the room as it was completely clogged with dust. The bathroom was fine but had a few issues with the toilet flush not being strong enough and the sink in the bathroom was so small it was hard to wash your face in. Also, we were always diligent about ensuring the door to the street was closed tightly (and there are signs to remind you of this) regardless we found that other guests did not close the door properly so it felt unsafe at times. As well, we stayed in the bottom apartment and you could hear everything from the apartment up above. This kept us up at night quite a few times. One thing we were really unhappy with was the fact that you have to check in at their other location and they refuse to pay for your cab to the building you’re staying in! Completely ridiculous.

Perfect location and easy access to many places. Nice and quiet too.

Big room. Good walking distance to everything.
