Guest Reviews
- Venitha (8/5): Beautiful room in perfect location. Lots of stairs! - Location is awesome! Very short distance from the train station and right on a canal. Easy walk to restaurants and things to do. Easy to catch tram, train. Beautiful room! Very comfortable and clean. Just beware that this room is on the third floor at the top of a long narrow spiral staircase. If stairs are a problem or if you have large suitcases, this may not be for you.
We were disappointed with the lack of communication with the host. We had wanted to leave luggage for the day after our checkout, and the host just completely ghosted us.

- Sebastian (9/5): Hermoso lugar y muy bien ubicado cerca del central -
- jonny (10/5): Perfect - Lovely flat in perfect position . Thank you .
- Claire (10/5): Perfect - Perfect location, very clean & comfortable. LOVED the extra space. Nice and quiet! Definitely staying here again without a doubt. There is absolutely no sign anywhere. It looks like someone’s house. The only way you will find it is to look for number 38.
- Monica (10/5): Very good! - Clean, Comfortable and good location Stairs x luggage
I understand that is part of the experience to be in a location as Kangaroo.
- Véronique (9/5): Très bien situé - Très bien situé pour une visite du centre d’Amsterdam. Appartement très calme.
- hsfalsharif (9/5): Lovely place in the heart of Amsterdam! - Really nice place located right in the center of Amsterdam. Amsterdam Centraal is a few min walk away. The place was clean and comfortable. Everything was great and nothing to complain about. Nothing major that comes to mind honestly.

- Rita Alessandra (5/5): Buono se non fosse per l’acqua calda e soprattutto che nessuno si è fatto sentire. - La posizione. Abbiamo avuto un problema, non funzionava l’acqua calda e nessuno ce l’ha risolto
- Pamela (8/5): Quiet, well located well appointed loft room in an apartment building on a canal side street - Location was less than 10 mins walk from Amsterdam Centraal station and perfect for catching an early morning Eurostar. Sink didn’t drain properly
- Elena (10/5): -
- Monica Bazzara (10/5): Ottima posizione - Posizione ottima, camera spaziosa e pulita.
- George (10/5): -
- Óscar (9/5): Mejor ubicación imposible - La ubicación es inmejorable, muy cerca de todo. La habitación, estaba muy bien, era el ático y tenía el tamaño perfecto y todo lo necesario La ventana del baño no cerraba del todo bien, por lo que se quedaba un poco frío, la cama era un poco blanda para mi gusto, pero esto es algo personal. En general estuvimos muy cómodos y nos encantó
- Shannon (10/5): Comfortable, cozy , homey, safe, warm , beautiful - Beautiful property felt like home , such warm cozy vibes I have nothing bad to say

- ALEKSANDRA (10/5): - Gustowny wystrój wnętrz, doskonała lokalizacja w centrum, miły kontakt z personelem :-)
- Owen (8/5): enjoyed and would stay again. - location was excellent as I was only working 100m away bad signage . had difficulty finding 38c . maybe a name on the building would be useful.
- Virginia (9/5): Hermoso lugar en pleno centro de Amsterdam - La ubicación es excelente, el apartamento tiene todas las comodidad, está muy bien decorado, es tal cual las fotos, faltaría solo un lavarropa y sería perfecto. Nada
- Macarena (10/5): -
- Monica (8/5): Confortável e seguro em localização excelente. - A localização é excelente, permitindo chegar a pé na maioria das atrações de Amsterdam. O quarto é confortável, em local seguro. Tem uma minicozinha com geladeira, talheres e louça e até lava-louças, mas sem fogão e sem microondas. Devido a alguma regulamentação municipal, o estúdio não podia ter fogão, frustrando nossos planos de preparar algumas refeições no apartamento. Se houvesse um microondas já ajudaria muito. Isso não está muito claro no anúncio.

- Florian (1/5): Absolute Frechheit und Enttäuschung - Die Lage war super, Check-In und Check-Out war unkompliziert. Während unseres Aufenthalts war direkt über unserem Zimmer eine Baustelle für die gesamte Zeit unseres Aufenthalts. Dies wurde uns jedoch mit keinem Wort im Vorfeld kommuniziert. Der Lärm war aufgrund der sehr dünnen Wände extrem laut und fühlte sich so an, als würde direkt auf unsere Zimmertür gehämmert werden. Weiters waren die Leitungen in der Dusche verstopft und die Wände hatten Flecken von zerdrückten Mücken. Am Tag vor der letzten Nacht wurde unser Zimmer nicht mehr geputzt - ohne Angabe von Gründen. Auf meine Nachricht kam keine Antwort mehr. Allgemein war es eine Frechheit, die Gastgeber haben sich gefühlt von jeder Art an Unterhaltsarbeiten der letzten Jahre und regelmässigen Säuberungen gedrückt und wollen so viel Geld zum kleinsten Aufwand aus den Touristen rauspressen.
- Becca (10/5): Great location, clean and pleasant - Such a great, central location.
Easy check in and out and a quiet location.
Clean and kept in great condition.
A small fridge, espresso machine, cups and glasses.
Lots of space to unpack clothing into such a large wardrobe and drawers and three chairs in the bedroom.
Plenty of hand wash, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper.
Clean towels wash day too Nothing
- Gabriela (9/5): Felt like locals staying in this authentic and cozy apartment with everything you need for a comfortable vacation in Ams - Well decorated, cozy and functional! The location was also unbeatable! The bed was slightly uncomfortable
- Renato (9/5): Localização impecável, hospedagem bonita e confortável. - Hotel muito bem localizado, hospedagem grande, confortável e bem equipada. Muitas escadas, complicado para idosos ou crianças.
- Boontueng (9/5): - ฉันชอบความสะอาดของห้องนอน ที่พักอยู่ใกล้สถานี
- Ceren (8/5): -
- Francisco Glez. (9/5): Excelente - Su localización y al mismo tiempo tranquilidad. Zona centro al lado de la estación Muy útil y cómoda para hacer viajes cortos usando Amsterdam como punto de referencia. Nos sorprendió un poco que hay una muebles instalados pero no hay microondas ni cocina, por lo que no se puede cocinar ni calentar nada en la vivienda excepto una cafetera. El resto muy bien. Hay que prever que no se puede cocinar.
- Max (8/5): Excellent location, definitely recommended. Bring ear plugs because of the kids - Great location, very clean, daily room service Kids very loud at 7:30AM im Friday while we still wanted to sleep, it‘s of course alright if they play in their house but they were playing/screaming right in front of our room door, even bumping against it and they seemed unsupervised
- Antoine (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very clean and lots of space. Hosts are great and provide great information. Nothing, it was perfect
- Lorenzo (9/5): Superb - Great location close to the center
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - The room was beautiful and all the staff was great from cleaning ladies to owner. All of them very helpful Nothing

Beautiful stairway Price was pretty high but it is city center.
It was not cleanest place I stayed
- Alice (9/5): Superb -
- Benoit (9/5): Superb - Perfect. A little bit too warm
- Karin (7/5): Good -
- Oduncu (8/5): Very good -
- Julia (10/5): We would happily stay here again - Great location in central city, we walked everywhere, most attractions are w/in 1.3 miles. It’s a ‘vintage’ walk-up building, elegant and beautifully maintained… 3 flights up a skinny spiral sits to a comfortable converted attic.
- Silvia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emanuel (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Amsterdam - Location, size, building, owner, all was amazing. Just the kitchen could have been better equipped, something like a toaster oven or a microwave would have been fantastic.
- Diego (6/5): Not worth accomodation for the price - Posizione Room was quite cold and was missing facilities. Problems to connect to wifi. Top floor with no lift
- Johannes (8/5): Very good -
- Jean (9/5): Please let a note in the appartment with the WIFI details. - Great location, nice and clean room. Not elevator (I was in the last floor), but if you don`t have a heavy luggage, it is not an issue.
- Nigel (10/5): Delightful, central location - Perfect, very central location. Quiet and clean.
- Libby (6/5): Great hotel and great price for location. Definitely clean and modern, just wish the room wasn’t so high up. - Location was great, modern and clean The stairs were extremely high up. I don’t think it states how tall the stairs are. Photos made me think there would be a kitchen but wasn’t.
- Eleni (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location Everything was great
- Donee (10/5): Perfect location in Amsterdam. - The property was a great fit. We had a small apartment on the second floor. The location is amazing. You feel like you are living in Amsterdam. It would be great to have a few additional items in the kitchen.
- Paulo (8/5): Very good place to stay in the middle of the city. Clean. No elevator. - Nice location, nice place. 3rd floor, no elevator. doors are thin, so you hear a lot from the staircase.
- Greg (10/5): We liked everything about it. Was just perfect - Great location, clean, nice landlord & was quiet. Na
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - My wife and I loved the central location and the character of the neighbourhood. It was so quiet, restful, and peaceful up in the attic. It was a perfect spot for a working holiday. Sometimes I had the enter the door code 2 or 3 times in order to get into the building. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.
- Ivan (10/5): Outstanding place to stay in Amsterdam, location, facilities, hosts 10+++ - Absolutely outstanding, our favorite place this summer :) Dorith and her family were the most kind and helpful people one can meet with, felt just like at home for us. Very grateful and cant wait to be back at Kangaroom studio anytime again
- Sara (10/5): Very clean, great location, and perfect for a weekend away - Very clean
Great location
- Jacob (10/5): Awesome place to enjoy Amsterdam! - The location was perfect. We even came a couple hours early to leave our bags and the room was ready for us so we went straight in! What a bonus!!! Obviously this depends on the situation, but we were very thankful. The only thing to be aware of is there is no elevator and the stairs are very steep. So if you have trouble with things like that keep it in mind. Otherwise, we highly recommend!
- Denise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Sahin (10/5): A week in Amsterdam - We were happy about its location, its atmosfere and cleanliness, kitchen and utilitiles. Friendly stuff, beautiful studio. A microvave and/or an electric stove would be nice.
- Katarzyna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Soheil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ken (10/5): We love this property-it was within walking distance of everything. We would stay here again! - The rooms were so clean and neat and although it’s small, it is exactly what we needed for our trip to Amsterdam. We want to thank you for sharing your property-we had a lovely time! There was nothing we didn’t like-maybe a small face cloth or wash cloth for taking off makeup
- Claudia (9/5): Great - Great location but quiet everything you’d need for a quick stay. No blind in the bedroom so hard to stay asleep once it got light!
- Karyn (9/5): Would book again - A great space in a really central location!
- Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location! Lovely studio flat! It was expensive but that could just be Amsterdam!
- Eren (9/5): Superb -
- Faith (9/5): Great location in elegant house in the city of canals. - The studio apartment was part of an elegant house on a quiet canalside on the western canal ring and within very easy reach of Amsterdam Central station. A very well appointed studio apartment: sitting area, kitchen corner, bedroom, modern bathroom - no frills, but has everything you need - and an exquisitely comfortable bed! Nice views into the garden too. Owner was helpful in letting me in when the key code business failed when I arrived, and was happy to lend me a phone charger too. In general a very positive experience, though the stairs up to the second floor are rather narrow and difficult to negotiate with a suitcase. A bit on the pricey side for my budget - but I guess that’s Amsterdam for you!
- Nuno (7/5): Nice and comfortable! - Central location, easy to find, and comfortable. The property staircase is not very practical when carrying travel bags and suitcases. (But I guess there's not much to do about this in this type of older buildings...)
- Keiran (8/5): Great location. Clean room. Comfortable stay. - Location was brilliant. Really close to central station which means you can get any form of public transport to any location you want within a 5 minute walk I don’t have anything bad to say.
- Oksana (10/5): Exceptional - The location is very good, it’s in the centre, but in a quiet area. Most tourist places can be reached by foot. The place was also very clean. -
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - 3rd visit, that tells you everything you need to know
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - second stay here, very happy again!
- Dimitrios (8/5): Very good - Spatious and clean room, good location close to city center, cafes, bars, restaurants and also to the Central Station. Nice and kind hosts! No central heating, only a small electric heater available. Lots and steep stairs to the room (we were on the highest floor).
- Lisa (8/5): Very good - Location Steps
- Jade (10/5): Amazing apartment in Amsterdam - This apartment was such perfect location, so close to Grand Central and all of the shops and restaurants you could want.
The room was so comfortable and clean, we had a wonderful sleep each night.
Our host was so kind and allowed us to keep our bags in the room until our flight on the last day of our trip so we wouldn't have to carry them around Amsterdam.
We would recommend this property to anyone travelling to Amsterdam! We were on the top floor of 4 flights of windy stairs! This was no problem for us as a young couple but something to keep in mind if you struggle on your feet!
- James (6/5): Pleasant - The host was very friendly and accommodating. We were allowed to check in early ~ 10:00 am.
The location was fantastic. Very close to many attractions. We felt safe here.
The other residents in the complex were very friendly and welcoming. The apartment was a bit dirty — smudges on the walls, dust on the bed, and the towels had stains/marks. It felt like the room hadn't been cleaned in a while.
The smell of cigarettes kept emanating from the kitchen sink.
- Declan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Myriam (10/5): I’ll always remember ! - Very comfortable studio on top of a nice typical Dutch family house.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Sophiebm (8/5): Very good - Very neat and spacious studio, perfect location, very clean! Definitely recommend. Heavy smoke of cigarette coming from smoker in the building... it made the room smell very bad.
- Kathryn (9/5): Superb -
- Sutcliffe (8/5): Great place to stay. Good hosts and communication. - Location, location, location! There was an unpleasant smell in the Studio bathroom.
- Josefalbarrann (6/5): Avoid if you are not young, strong and with light luggage. - Room had all that was necessary, recent. Accesibilty very poor. Difficult stairs. No elevator. Very cumbersome to move the luggage.
Neighborhood was dark and people looked dangerous. We had paid two nights, but we moved after the first night to a safer and more confortable location.
There is no front desk or anybody to help. You enter the premises with a code.
- Cloe (9/5): Brilliant location and building, clean and comfortable - Nice location, easy to check in and out, quiet side street and great facilities Steep stairs but manageable, wifi cut out halfway through our trip and we didn’t get a response from the owner when messaged
- Wright (8/5): Very good - Great location, clean and comfortable Would have liked a microwave and toaster otherwise well equipped
- Kosta (9/5): Superb -
- Zoe (10/5): Amazing stay, lovely place and perfect location - Loved the location, coffee pods were fab, shower was fantastic, lovely staff. Highly recommend and felt beet safe here. Will be booking again
