Guest Reviews

• Mohammad saber (10/5): -
• Radwan (10/5): - The owner is very friendly and cooperative. Place is very nice and clean. Wine 🍷 on the house 🏠
• Chanin-Penn (9/5): Was a great choice for us. - Christian is a lovely host. We really enjoyed the neighborhood and ate at several of the restaurants close by. Very accessible to many other parts of town. Pretty view right on the canal. Bathroom a bit small and with few amenities.
• Margaret (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at the Canal House Inn. Clean, comfortable with a great view. - The property was in a lovely area with a view of the canal. It was fun to watch the boats go by. There are a number of good restaurants nearby. The host’s communication was excellent. This was clear from the description and reviews: the bathroom is very small and the unit requires that you climb a couple floors of narrow winding stairs.
• esma (10/5): -
• Edward (10/5): - Lovely view and Lovely host. Christian treated us very well and very accommodating. Bottle of red was a nice touch.
• Myriam (10/5): Toller Gastgeber, vielen Dank für die wertvollen Tipps - Grossartige, dennoch ruhige Lage
• Johann O (10/5): Gute Unterkunft, kann man bedenkenlos weiterempfelen. - Die Lage direkt am Kanal, sodass man aus dem Bett des in der 1. Etage befindlichen Zimmers das Treiben am Kanal beobachten konnte. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die nespressokomportible Kaffeemaschine samt Zubehör war das Tüpfelchen auf dem I. Es war alles sehr sauber. Von der Unterkunft kann man das Zentrum mühelos zu Fuss erreichen. Es war alles ok.
• David (10/5): Highly recommended - We loved the location, cleanliness, view The stairs were steep but we expected that
• laurie (10/5): Fantastic stay!! Great views! - The room was very clean, Christian was a fantastic host!
• Oana (9/5): Rooms with a view - Excellent location and very kind host. Very clean and efficient use of space. The canal view is fantastic. You do not need TV/youtoube/tiktok/instagram/facebook - just sit and watch the life happening in a quiet, but central location in Amsterdam. It is nearby Naval and Nemo/Science Museum. Aprox. 20-25 minutes walking from Central Station. The stairs are very steep - challenging for our older companion, but she managed. The bathroom is very well appointed but tiny. On the other hand , the whole idea when booking the Canal House Inn was to have an authentic dutch living experience.
• Simon (10/5): - My wife and I spent 3 very enjoyable nights at the Canal House Inn. The location is great, it is easy to walk to most of the main tourist sites and is close to bus and tram routes and only 20 minutes walk or 5 minutes bus ride from the central railway station. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped and is a good size with a great view over the canal. The communication with Christian was very good with quick and helpful responses. There are several good quality restaurants nearby within easy walking distance. We would highly recommend and would definitely book again if we were to return to Amsterdam. Nothing
• Patricia (10/5): Charmant et calme - Petite chambre très charmante avec literie confortable dans un quartier calme mais près de tout à pied. Hôte facilement joignable en tout temps. Très propre avec une belle vue sur un canal. Chambre située au 2ieme étage avec un escalier très étroit en colimaçon. Peut être difficile si vous avez de grosses valises. Mais nous avions des petites valises heureusement. Je me remets d'une chirurgie au genou et je me déplace avec une canne, mais bon, je le savais à l'avance qu'il y avait un escalier. Donc prévoir si vous avez des difficultés à monter des escaliers. Ça ne m'a pas empêché d'apprécier cette chambre et j'ai trouvé ça rigolo de voir ce minuscule escaliers dans ma situation actuelle 🙂
• Panier de (10/5): 居心地が良く、最高！ - アムステルダム中央駅から徒歩15分圏内 ・どこへ行くにも便利な立地 ・とても清潔でコンパクトなワンルーム ・素晴らしいロケーション（近くに公園／スーパー／カフェ／レストランあり） ・パノラマの窓からカナルの美しい景色を楽しめる ・設備が充実（コーヒーカプセル、紅茶、ウェルカムのミニワインボトル、お水、アムステルダム名物のミニ・ストロープワッフル、ミニ冷蔵庫付き）。このワッフルがとても美味しくて、自分用にもスーパーで購入しました！ ・オーナーのChristianさんのお人柄が素晴らしく、とても気遣いがあり親切。チェックインを早めてくださり、チェックアウトも柔軟に対応してくれました ・ワイングラスは上質なものを使用しており、トイレットペーパーの犬柄など、細部にまでこだわりを感じます ・オーナーはスティーブというハンサムで愛嬌のある犬を飼っていて、会えたら超ラッキーです♡幸運の犬！ 特に気になる点はありませんでしたが、あえて挙げるとすれば、階段がかなり急な点です！お気をつけて！ また、シャワーは固定式（いわゆるイタリアンシャワー）のためハンドシャワーはなく、髪を濡らしたくない方はシャワーキャップを持参されると安心です。
• hanna (10/5): -
• Vernon (10/5): - Location and view. The host was great as well.
• Ilona (10/5): -
• Eoin (10/5): Perfect - The auto light sensor in the bathroom
• Alessandra (10/5): Christian super host e posizione perfetta! - La struttura molto accogliente, camera dalle dimensioni giuste e dotata di tutto (bollitore, phon, macchina caffè nespresso). Christian è un host impeccabile. Gentile, educato e disponibile, sempre pronto a chiedere se tutto fosse ok e fornirci informazioni. Ci ha anche fatto lasciare i bagagli subito al mattino prima del check-in e permesso di tenere la camera qualche ora in più per prendere il volo nel pomeriggio. La vista sul canale Top. La stazione centrale dista 15 minuti a piedi e il centro altrettanto. È comunque vicino a molte fermate del trasporto pubblico Unica “pecca” sono state le tende poco oscuranti; ma facilmente risolvibile con una mascherina per la notte.
• leonidas (10/5): -
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Fresh85 (9/5): - Posizione, VIsta e Comfort della stanza.
• Jeffrey (10/5): Immaculately maintained and great location! - Extremely well maintained property and pristine room, great location walkable to many interesting sights and restaurants, and the owner is very friendly and helpful. His recommendations for restaurants in the area were solid. I would definitely stay here again!
• Moshe (10/5): The perfect 4 days living like locals - Clean, peaceful and practical. Great host, with great suggestions that made our trip memorable. Thank you Christian. ❤️ Nothing
• Jenette (10/5): Gorgeous room with a viewfn - Christian had thought of everything, toiletries, hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities, tissues and storage for my bags. The room was very comfortable and with an excellent view of the bridge and canal. It was spotlessly clean and modern. I would just advise about the very steep staircase, almost vertical!. Its just a little precarious with large suitcases and bags. Would have like to stay longer but check out was 11.00am
• Andrew (9/5): Good choice - Good location for local restaurants. Easy walk from station. Very helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Cups too small for a proper cup of tea!
• Yulia (10/5): La posizione centrale, la stanza con la vista meravigliosa, il proprietario di gentilezza unica - La struttura è ristrutturata recentemente. La stanza non è molto grande ma è accogliente, con tutto il necessario. La vista sul canale è molto bella. Il proprietario Christian è stato molto gentile nel fornire tutte le indicazioni e chiedendo sempre se avessimo bisogno di qualcosa. Nulla
• John (9/5): -
• Angela (10/5): Clean bright beautiful. - Fabulous quiet location but close enough to the centre. Chris the host was just great available when needed. Pointing out some great places to eat nearby. Steep stairs but that’s everywhere in Amsterdam
• Giulio (10/5): -
• Petra (10/5): Ruhige, zentrale Lage mit Komfort und toller Aussicht - Die Lage ist perfekt, alles ist von dort gut fußläufig erreichbar. Gleichzeitig war es überraschend ruhig, das hatte ich nicht erwartet. Toller Blick und alles exakt wie abgebildet. Christian ist ein sehr herzlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der mir tolle Tipps für meinen Aufenthalt gegeben hat. Mehrere gute Restaurants in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt.
• Gunther (9/5): We will come back. - Perfect and very accommodating host who welcomed us on arrival. The location is perfect, a lovely quite local area of Amsterdam, away from the tourist rush and yet close to the centre. All recommendations provided by the host were excellent. Nothing, the site was well described, showing the challenge of the steep starecase, which is part of the old Amsterdam falir, so nothing was disappointing. Everything was perfect.
• Maria (8/5): Aceptable - Christian fue muy amable en todo momento y nos ayudó en todo lo posible. Además, las vistas del alojamiento son estupendas y la ubicación es buena. El baño es demasiado pequeño y la alcachofa de la ducha está fija al techo, lo que para mí fue un inconveniente. La limpieza podría mejorar en algunos aspectos como, por ejemplo, la cortina de la ducha. Por otra parte, la cama se hunde a los lados.
• Mohammed (10/5): Wonderful - The location is excellent, very convenient. The stairs go up a lot. Not recommended for old people
• SW (10/5): -
• SUSANA (10/5): Maravilloso - Un sitio precioso en una ubicación perfecta
• marine (10/5): Superbe nouvel an à amsterdam - Superbe 👍 Et très facile Très bonne expérience merci
• Shalaka (10/5): Choose this, excellent option. - Excellent property, even better host. Everything was great.
• pascal (9/5): - Emplacement à 15 minutes du centre un peu excentré et calme Chambre agréable et confortable et hôte très sympathique et arrangeant Très bon contact
• Franck (10/5): - suite à fuite d'eau nous avons eu un autre appartement.. Il était également bien placé 👍🏼 Problème de chauffage la premier jour.. Le départ ou nous avons perdu pratiquement 1 h à patienter..
• Paul (10/5): Welcoming and comfortable - Short break for me and my girlfriend. The property was very clean and comfortable. Christian went to many lengths to ensure exact instruction so we could get from airport to property. We were greeted with a complimentary red wine and a large bottle of champagne for New Year’s Eve. I was lucky enough to meet Christian and he was super friendly. Highly recommend the property and Christian. We will be booking again next time we go to Amsterdam. Nothing
• Viktoria (10/5): Unglaublich tolle Unterkunft im Herzen Amsterdams - Haben ein Upgrade erhalten,hatten schon in vorigen Rezessionen darüber gelesen,haben zugesagt und waren sowas von begeistert,so zentrumsnah und so ruhig, schön, tolle Unterkunft,groß und sauber, toll - am liebsten wären wir dort geblieben,latecheck out,Ortstipps,großartige Betreuung Nichts
• mira (10/5): A wonderful stay in Amsterdam - Our stay with Christian was simply wonderful! Christian is an outstanding and attentive host. He reached out to us right after we booked the apartment, kept in touch until our arrival, welcomed us personally, and made sure we felt comfortable. We were upgraded to an absolutely perfect apartment – newly renovated, very spacious, and right in the city center – just 10 minutes walk from everything. The apartment was spotless, clean, and very comfortable. If Christian offers you an upgrade – say yes. Thank you for a perfect stay! Everything was perfect. Highly recommended host!
• alexei (10/5): Мы были зимой. В квартире было тепло, уютно, чисто. Постоянно горячая вода. Удобная кровать. - Кристиан - Очень внимательный и обходительный хозяин. Принял, все показал, объяснил, сделал массу полезных рекомендаций по ресторанам, магазинам и пр. Нам Кристиан предложил отдельную квартиру в самом историческом центре Амстердама, с видом на канал.. Чисто, уютно, просторно. В пешеходной доступности все самые известные достопримечательности. Дом Анны Франк совсем рядом. Сам район с огромным количеством ресторанов, супермаркетов.
• Tak (10/5): Favorite Stay in Amsterdam - This is the only place to book in Amsterdam. Amazing position and surroundings, extremely safe area with all needed services nearby. The view is one in a million, gives you the real Canal House experience.

• Mirijam (10/5): Danke Christian, wir kommen wieder :D - Aufenthalt vom 19. September. Christian der Gastgeber war äusserst sympathisch und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir hatten ein liebevoll eingerichtetes Zimmer mit allem was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können das Canal House Inn sehr weiterempfehlen. Sehr zentral gelegen. Danke Christian und bis auf ein weiteres Mal ;-) Wir haben nichts auszusetzen, ganz im Gegenteil, es war alles wirklich super.

• Christine (10/5): We found everything fabulous, location, Christian’s resturant recommendations, the surrounding area. - Christian was a very accomodating host, he communicated clearly how to reach the accommodation when arriving in Amsterdam, & in all comms with me. The accomodation was well located & he provided great amenities. We loved this accomodation & would certainly stay here again & highly recommend The staircase leading up to the apartment could be challenging to some, but we are not youthful but very active and it wasn’t an issue to us

• Martina (10/5): Alles bestens, sehr zu empfehlen und jederzeit gerne wieder - Wir wurden kurzfristig umplatziert wegen eines Wasserschadens und bekamen von Christian ein Apartment im Zentrum. Alles war perfekt und Christian ist ein super Gastgeber! Das Ein- und Auschecken war sehr unkompliziert, Christian hat uns Tips für Restaurants und Ausflüge gegeben und das Apartment war sehr gross, tiptop sauber und an bester Lage. Nichts, es war alles bestens

• Jose (10/5): Exceptional - Christian it’s a friendly and nice host . The location is perfect if you want to expend a weekend in Amsterdam .
• Alexander (8/5): The place was small, clean and close to every thing. - Christian was spectacular. He was always available, helpful and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about the area. The property is close to everything. The view was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. The size of the room was much smaller than we expected! The bathroom lights are on a motion detector and while taking a shower the lights went out. We notified Christian about this and he said he would contact the electrician. Amsterdam is a beautiful city but the lodgings are expensive especially on the King's birthday.
