Canal Suites Amsterdam

Apartment was the best place I have ever stayed in Amsterdam. Picturesque, quiet and very very convenient. Only issue was being issued no working keys when I checked in - but rapidly resolved

Would highly recommend!

Quaint, romantic, reasonably quiet 7-unit apartment building in the heart of Amsterdam. Ideal for a romantic getaway and OK for a small family. Close to public transportation (metro, tram) and within 30 minutes walk from most major attractions in the city. Our apartment (F) had a living room with a sofabed (where our son slept), and a bedroom with a king bed. Major appliances included a refrigerator, stove-top, dishwasher, microwave/oven combo, and washer/dryer combo. Be aware of the following before booking: the place is not wheel-chair accessible at all and not recommended for people with hip/knee issues because of all the stairs. There are stairs leading up from the street to the main building door, steep an curving stairs leading up to the apartments, and even stairs inside some apartments. There is no elevator. There is no air conditioning. The apartments are small and probably not a good choice for large families. Don't expect standard hotely things: there's no front-desk or concierge, no room service, and very light housekeeping. You will need to check-in at a different location and get keys to the building and your apartment. Management will send you an email with detailed instructions and directions and you should make sure to read it. Management was very responsive to questions over the phone or email.

The location of the apartment could not have been better. A quiet residential area convenient to everything, overlooking a beautiful canal. The people working for the organization were exceptionally nice. The room was a bit crowded for 3 adults. Getting towels, toilet paper, and soap was problematic at times. The air conditioning did not seem to function properly with hot air blowing out the back where a duct taped vent had become disconnected. I missed the amenities of a modern hotel---with regular room cleaning and stocking of toiletries.

Nice apartment and good location. Air conditioning doses not work. Very hot. Many mosquitoes.
