Guest Reviews
- Po-Chia (8/5): -
- Wyllie (7/5): - Location fantastic A/C was not working correctly and room got hot. Also microwave was locked hence could not use, WiFi did not connect.
- Sebastian (9/5): Kings day! -
- van houwelingen (9/5): Geweldig! - De locatie en de kamer zelf heel schattig gezellig en knus De wifi en airco deden het niet
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): Quick walk and lovely views - Loved the communication with the owner, always attentive about all matters relating to our stay. Great views and a really easy walk from Centraal station. Facilities were fantastic. The stairs.
- Kim (10/5): Was a fabulous stay! Loved every minute - Location!! Atmosphere around the building! Close by to restaurants. Room had great view!!! User guide for oven and air con
- Monique (10/5): A great space to base yourself for exploring Amsterdam - Location is perfect for getting around Amsterdam and to access any other places by train or metro. Roos was available anytime if we needed anything. The room is set up well for a small inner city space and has a wonderful view of the Singel canal.
- Fettah (7/5): - The location was great, its 5-10 min walking distance to most of tourist attractions, and place has a very nice view of the canal. The owner was easy to get in touch with. It’s at the third floor, there is no balcony therefore if you are a smoker that’s a lot of cardio. There is an electronic panel that “so controls” indoors temperature and AC. But you have to contact to the owner every time you wanna make an adjustment. If you are a Mediterranean, owner’s choice of indoors temperature might not be ideal and possibly might give you chills during winter and early spring.
- Mustafa Alp (9/5): - Merkezi bir konumdaydı her yere ulaşım oldukça rahattı, odanın kanal manzaralı olması oldukça güzeldi. Aileler için değil ancak çiftler için oldukça uygun bir odadır.
- Miguel (9/5): Great location stay - Very good located,towards a non busy canal, in the centre of amsterdam.
The room was very well cleaned and well heated.
We noticed some beeping sound from a side door and let the host know, which they took care of with no delay.
The host, by the way, was always very responsive and communicative so all the stay was smooth sailing. We were allowed to leave the bag downstairs since we arrived way before checking in, and i was expecting the bags to just be stored inside some room, but they just stay in the corridor viewable from the outside door. Nothing happened but it gave me pause.
- Yasemen (9/5): -
- ABDULLAH (5/5): غير جيدة ولن اكررها - الموقع والمنظر جيد. لا يوجد مصعد والدرج ضيق ومرتفع وخصوصآ لمن لديه حقائب سفر
- Larry (7/5): - The location was great. The room for it’s size was quite well layed out. Heated floor in bathroom was nice. The stairs/hall were very unclean.
The TV did not work nor did the WiFi.
For the price paid I feel it would need the above fixed and still is overpriced for the size.
- Joseph (7/5): Despite some hiccups and unknowns, the location and room were excellent and the host, excellent. - The location was great for walking in the middle of Centrum Amsterdam. The apartment had all the amenities that you would need with a great sized fridge. Internet access had to be reset and it seems that the doorbell to get us into the building when we arrived required that the internet connection work, therefore we had to wait for about 8 minutes for the host to bike to us to open the door. This was OK as the temperature was decent, it would be really difficult if it was really really cold as in the winter time. Also, it is on the 3rd floor without a lift, therefore if you have heavy luggage or have respiratory or mobility issues, this will be a big problem.
- Leigh (10/5): Hopefully back soon! - Beautiful apartment with excellent views close to central station. Light and airy and a lovely shower.
Perfect base for a few days in Amsterdam. Stairs BUT this is normal for Amsterdam and was expected just be aware if you struggle with mobility.
- Yoan (10/5): - L'accueil et le confort au top. La vue est magnifique. Parfait pour souffler loin du travail
- Barbara (9/5): Gracious host(s), excellent location(s), enjoyable stay(s). - We have stayed at flats at the two Amsterdam Jewel Apartments locations and have enjoyed each one immensely.
The owner-partners, Jojo and Cees, are very gracious and attentive hosts and we thank them for their kindness.
- Louise (10/5): A perfect stay in Amsterdam - Amazing central location - quiet but right next to the main areas Nothing - it was perfect
- Lisa Berg (8/5): -
- Annette (9/5): -
- Wendy (9/5): Wonderful short stay in a convenient location - This has fantastic views as portrayed in the photos It needed a kettle. And strangely enough a tea towel
- Kate (10/5): - Roos was very helpful when we were unable to travel and our son’s girlfriend used the apartment instead. She said it was perfect and very well
Located. Great communication too N/a all good
- Marion (8/5): -
- Jimena (6/5): -
- Aline (10/5): Highly recommended - Very clear instructions from the host, very clean, great location (very central yet quiet). Especially in a city where hotel rooms are as small as they are in Amsterdam, an apartment like this makes your stay much more relaxing. Very unpleasant smell in the stairwell
- William (10/5): Great location and clean room makes a successful and accommodating trip - Location was great. Room is perfectly setup for two people. Very clean and comfortable. Host is very responsive and accommodating.
- peta (8/5): -
- Johnny (9/5): It’s a cute Airbnb style property - I like the proximity to the Central Station. It’s a lovely place and a cute suite by the canel. I don’t like the stairs. It’s narrow. I don’t recommend travellers expecting a hotel service/elevator. It’s more of an Airbnb style property. I carried my massive suitcase up to the 3rd floor. If you travel light or you don’t mind it, go for it.
- Jeanne (9/5): Excellent room in a great location. - It was very clean and comfortable and a great location. The stairs were very narrow but didn’t cause an issue for us.
- Marco (7/5): Piacevole. - Posizione e vista. Personale professionale ed attento alle esigenze del cliente. Le scale e la moquette 😀. Il cambio della biancheria dovrebbe essere previsto almeno ogni due giorni.
- Mariusz (10/5): -
- Lucia (7/5): - La ubicación es muy buena! Aunque dicen que tienen sitio para guardar las maletas es un pasillo que que puede acceder todo el mundo.
Es cierto que hay escaleras para subir que pueden ser complicadas con las maletas, pero todos los edificios de Ámsterdam que no sean grandes hoteles son iguales.
- Nedelko (8/5): Super Lage, gutes Bett - Die Lage war TOP, sehr zentral! Einfacher self-check-in und check-out. Neu renoviert. Treppe zum Apartment sehr eng, man konnte die Klimaanlage nicht regulieren, die Fenster liessen sich nicht öffnen
- Ray (10/5): - The canal view and location are excellent. The staff and neighbors were very friendly. The stairs are tight to carry large suitcases up and down.
- Nick (10/5): Such a great property with a lovely helpful host, couldnt’t recomend highly enough. - Small but exceptional space near the station and Dam square, amazing views and brilliant host. Stairs are steep but the host makes this clear in the property details. No problem for us but may be a challenge if you’re infirm.
- Jon (7/5): Good - View. Comfortable. Bathroom good. Stairs for suitcases. No kettle. Lights difficult to work out- info about the property would be helpful.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anouschka (9/5): Superb -
- Marouchka (1/5): Bad - I was ready to disappointed with the absence of an elevator and the difficulty of access to the facility. Furthermore, I have failed to check in because I couldn’t open the door since the facility is a self check in and I was denied refund. No assistance has been provided whatsoever and I had to book and pay for another hotel
- Debbie (10/5): Lovely, comfortable apartment in quiet, yet central location. Would recommend! - Fantastic central location within easy walking distance of all that Amsterdam has to offer. The apartment was clean and bright, the bed extremely comfortable. Although the apartment is close to the central station and centrally located it was quiet and we slept well. Good shower, and coffee machine. The host was easy to communicate before and during our stay and was very helpful when we arrived later than anticipated due to a train cancellation. Also gave us some good suggestions for local places to eat. As mentioned in the description the access is up 3 flights of steep stairs. Would not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility, but we knew this was the case and it was not an issue for us.
- Giri (6/5): Pleasant - Once you are in the room, it has all the comforts you need, good bed, good view etc.,. There were minor irritants that the host took care of. The room is small, but okay for a one night stay. Paid parking on street is close by -- which is good although parking in the city is always expensive. It is not a hotel, it is a single room. It is on the 3rd floor and you have narrow set of stairs to climb. When you reach 3rd floor, you have a small landing space to navigate.
It is not quite the expectation that was set when you book. Frankly, if you set that expectation, the room itself is good. I would recommend being clear about expectations.
- Stuart (9/5): Great stay in great location - Very central and close to Amsterdam Central Station.
Shops close by.
Bars and restaurants close by.
Nice area for walks. Very steep stairs at property which could be an issue for some people.
- Joanne (8/5): Very good -
- Catherine (7/5): Good - Location! The bed had a large indention in the middle - old worn out mattress.
- David (10/5): The Willos and Suzi's surprise trip ❤️ - Excellent location, Friendly host, Great communication, All the facilities you would require in a perfect apartment, The view from sunrise to sunset beautiful. Nothing
- Susan (8/5): Small but sufficient. Lovely view of canal! - Great except we had to ask for t-towels etc and there was no boiling water for a cup of tea! A small thermos was offered as The system was broken.
Never mind, the place was lovely and very friendly and brought our cases up and down 3 flights of stairs. Small but sufficient!
- Tomasz (8/5): Very good - Perfect location with the beautiful canal view.
- Ismail (10/5): Everything is perfectly designed. - Location, quite area, good view. -
- Baian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (10/5): Wonderful stay - Lovely apartment, has everything you need for a short stay. Great location and good communication with the host. Nothing
- Christine (10/5): Highly recommend a stay at Canal View Suites - great accommodation and host! - It had everything we needed and lovely view of the canal N/A
- Richard (9/5): Beautiful room with the best views and location - The perfect spot for a couple in Amsterdam. The location is perfect and so close to everything. The view from the room is amazing and while small - it has everything you need.
The hosts were lovely and so easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again in future.
- Ellen (10/5): Clean, comfortable room with nice amenities, a great view and good location! Would stay here again! - Nicely updated and decorated room that despite being small had convenient storage and kitchen amenities, a great view, and was very comfortable. The air conditioning temperature did not seem to be adjustable. We just turned it off when it got too cold so it wasn't a problem.
- Janice (4/5): Disappointing - Location Do not stay here the stairs are dangerous. The floors were not clean.
- Rachel (10/5): Great apartment for exploring - Great location for exploring. Apartment was clean and comfy and the communication was great throughout. Great bars and restaurants nearby and super close to the train station and metro. The apartment had everything we needed, the only addition we would make would be a full length mirror on the back of the door.
- Olga (10/5): Very cozy, stylish and comfortably furnished apartment. Roose s a very nice and helpful host. -
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denise (6/5): Lovely room unguarded bad view due to the boats in the canal being a mess and the very dirty street outside with buns ov - The room itself was charming and very clean The 3 flights of narrow steep stairs to get to the room
- Anthony (3/5): Poor choice of accommodation - Not much The stairs up to the 3rd floor were dangerously steep without adequate handrails. It was also very hot and stuffy with no help to get our luggage upstairs. The soap and shampoo / conditioner containers were almost empty. The 2 towels small and thin.
- Garry (10/5): Lovely studio apartment - Great studio apartment in city centre. It's on the third floor with a lovely view over the Singel canal. We had a great stay. Typical Dutch stairs up to the apartment,they are steep and narrow.
- Rasheed (10/5): Fabulous property, great hosts even better views. If you want to stay away from the crowds but be close enough to the st - Location and view are unreal
Some nice pieces of art hung up on the wall
Stunning little “garden” at the front of the property
Canalside
Very quiet but you still hear the sounds of the city. Many stairs but so worth it for the view and expected for Dutch style homes. We’re fit so it wasn’t an issue to be honest.
- Francisco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivan (9/5): Small but Perfectly Formed and Located - Superbly located on one of Amsterdam's grandest canals only a few minutes walk with your bags from Centraal Station, this comfortable, spotlessly clean and very nicely refurbished property not only has lovely views out onto the canal but is quietly located within three to 30 minutes of very pleasant walking to everything you might want to see in the city.
However, if you must, a number of tram routes run conveniently along a nearby street.
Although the apartment itself is on a quiet and relaxing stretch of Singel, there are dozens of busy cafes, restaurants and bars in the cluster of attractive streets in the immediate area.
Basically, it's perfect for a few days stay and the host is friendly and helpful.
Sure, as others have commented, it's at the top of a narrow and steep flight of stairs but if that's a problem for you then I'm afraid it rules out pretty much every canal-side property in the centre of the city and a large percentage of others besides.
I would happily stay here again. As always for short stays, it really would be useful if accommodation could provide some milk sachets to go with the tea and coffee.
I can understand why it was sealed-up (the railing was a bit low it's quite a long drop) but it was a pity that the main door onto the Juliette balcony could not be opened.
It's hair-raisingly expensive but that's Amsterdam for you these days and you could probably say the same for London, New York and Paris.
- Julie (10/5): Perfect little studio on the canals in Amsterdam. - Excellent location. Very comfortable, well equipped, extremely clean and well maintained.
It was a wonderful stay. Host was friendly and helpful and answered all questions sent beforehand really quickly.
We absolutely loved it and will stay here again if we are visiting Amsterdam. The stairs!!!. But it's Amsterdam. Everywhere has stairs.
- Ramon (1/5): Would seriously check who rated this place!! Very disappointed!! - Nothing!!!! The ratings are VERY misleading!!!! The owner should put photos of the entrance and the room!!!!!! The entry leading to the room are terrible. Has none of what one would expect. we were also informed by the person that eventually opened for us (took a while) that we were not the first to complain. It seems evident to me that the ratings are either manipulated or else i cannot comprehend how this location has such positive feedback.
in fact we did not stay at this premises and sought other accommodation!!!!
- Avner (9/5): Superb - Good location with great canal scenery, clean, comfortable and an espresso machine to top it
- Polders (8/5): Very good - View 3 flights of stairs. Small stairs, dirty carpet
- Claire (10/5): Great stay in clean space at convenient location! - Great location - very close to the central train station and walkable to various neighborhoods. The space was exactly as described and very clean. Easy to enter and clear check-in instructions!
- Anonymous (5/5): Passable - The flat was within walking distance of the Central station. The studio flat. was at the top,of the building and involved many stairs. The flat was cold and the windows were set to remain open. The tiny bathroom shower let water out and we had to use the towels to dry it.
- Ian (9/5): Brilliant room in a brilliant location - Whenever we rang the doorbell someone answered To open the door to the Juliet balcony
- Heike (9/5): WOW factor room with an amazing host in a prime central location! - The owner greeted us and was super friendly and extremely helpful. The property was exceptionally clean with a light and airy ambience and although small in size, perfect for what we required. Bed was super comfy with really soft bedding, had a fab night's sleep and I could have stayed in the shower for hours with the large rainwater shower head. When we woke up, we made a coffee, opened the curtains and watched the world go by through the large window. The location was equally amazing, close to train station therefore very easy access from the airport into the centre of Amsterdam with all amenities almost on the doorstep of the property. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the property more... :-) If you are looking for constructive feedback, in my opinion the communal stairwell would benefit from a refresh as first impressions count. I would have liked a full length mirror somewhere in the room and perhaps a small dressing table/desk area perhaps in the space between the French doors and the head of the bed instead of the side tables. Also, did not see any emergency evacuation procedure (something spotted by me friend, who works in H&S) but perhaps missed this as we only stayed one night... otherwise the premises did have the WOW factor for us and the host was truly amazing.
- Carol (10/5): Absolute Perfection - The suite was absolutely perfect for our stay in Amsterdam. Everything we wanted was no more than a 10 minute walk away. The facilities were great especially having a plug next to the mirror and the lighting in the bathroom was amazing for getting ready. The bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept in!! To top it all off the host was so lovely and even put balloons in the room as they knew we were there celebrating a birthday. Definitely recommend and hope to be back there again some time soon. N/A
- Theminx88 (9/5): Peaceful comfortable oasis. - Location was perfect had a gorgous view over a canal and was quiet but a street away from all the action. Felt very safe and secure. Communication from Roos was prompt and great. We had two big suitcases with us and there wasn't much room to put them anywhere. Rooms are small in Amsterdam so space is always tricky so I'm not sure how to manage this! We only stayed overnight so not so much of a problem but if for longer it would be hard to manage.
The stairs (as mentioned in other reviews - so not a surprise) are not for the faint hearted we are fit and strong but I wouldn't recommend if you have big suitcases and are not able bodied.
- Richard (9/5): Fabulous. - Perfect for our needs.
- Susan (7/5): An experience - Location was good. Loved outlook. Quaint feel. Stairs did prove a challenge. Entry to property was difficult due to difficulty contacting owner.
- Linda (9/5): Superb - Perfect location! Walking distance even with suitcases from the station. And close to vibrant areas yet on a fairly quiet street. Great coffee (thank you!), and outstanding canal views. Will definitely try to book again for future visits.
- Shelley (10/5): Home away from home in Amsterdam. - The room was beautiful and an amazing view of the canal. Loved the location of the suite. The 3 flights of stairs.
- Duygu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Silvana (10/5): The perfect place for stay in Amsterdam - The perfect place to stay in Amsterdam!
We stayed 5 nights, we cannot expect better,the flat was very accessorised and comfortable with an incredible view.the position is very nice close to the train station in a very lovely neighbourhood,you can reach every place of interest on foot with no more than a 20 min walk maximum.When they changed the sheets they even gave us extra coffee.If we were to return to Amsterdam we would already know where to stay overnight
- Natalia (10/5): Perfect accomodation for couple to stay in Amsterdam! - It was an enjoyable stay in Amsterdam. The location of the apartment is perfect. You can reach all attractions just walking from your apartment. Many cafes and amenities are just around the corner. The apartment is very cozy, the bed is comfortable, the shower pressure is high, and WiFi is speedy. The view from the apartment is awesome. The communication with the host of the apartment was instant. I strongly recommend this place to anyone.
- Louise (9/5): Enjoyable stay in a central location - Very easy to locate. Just was very efficient. The views over the canal was lovely. The lights were very temperamental. Stairs were quite strickey to manage, but we knew that so it was our choice. Not much soap left in the dispenser.
- Kyrin (8/5): Very good - The location and the interior of the property was lovely. Be prepared for the stairs.
- Tommaso (9/5): Superb -
- Tara (10/5): Great location, 10 minutes from train, beautiful view! - The room is in a great location and easy to get to. Located in easy walking distance to train station and all sights. Really enjoyed our stay. Bathroom was big and had a great shower. View from the room was gorgeous! The stairs are really small, like half stairs and they twist. You have to climb three flights with luggage. It was okay for us because we had backpacks and small carry ons but I would be careful if you have mobility issues pf any kind or can’t carry big luggage.
- James (8/5): Very good -
- Nikita (7/5): Beautiful room in excellent location- would stay again. - Excellent location, great facilities, friendly host. The suite was clean however the hallway common area was a bit dirty.
We weren’t provided a code to access the building before hand which meant we had to contact the host to let us in and get a code for the key box when we got there but she was very nice and helpful.
- László (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place and wonderful view:-)
- Charlie (9/5): A brilliant location close to places of interest and an excellent level of comfort. - No breakfast was included. However, there were numerous local cafes that were excellent and close. It was very easy to walk to many points of interest. The view over the canal is fabulous! The stairs were incredibly steep and it took some effort to negotiate the several flights of stairs to the floor of the apartment.
- Fábio (10/5): You should NOT book anywhere else! - Ross' apartment is very comfortable and well located in Amsterdam; we have walked with luggage from Centraal station and it was absolutely fine. Very comfortable bed and shower (essential after long walking days we had while in Amsterdam) Nothing; minor comment on how to prepare the trash for removal, but everything else was perfect.
- Brendon (7/5): Good -
- Laura (10/5): Perfect little apartment!! - 💙Perfect location! In central area yet very much a neighborhood feel. Close to so many restaurants, shopping, or to just look out your windows for a lovely canal view. Or stroll through nearby Jordaan. We loved it and would definitely stay again!!! Nothing
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Irene (8/5): Lovely, somewhat comfortable - Location, view, decor The fact that it wasn’t specified anywhere that the room wasn’t done every day
- Simon (9/5): A room with a view. - The view.
Location.
Comfort.
Cleanliness.
Quick contact available with the owner. Nothing 😀
- Kathleen (10/5): Excellent location and exceptional views of the canal and boats. - Wonderful third floor room/apt with exceptional views and location. Easy walk from the train station and access to the tram and buses right around the corner. Very clean and modern. The stairs were a little challenging with bags but take your time it’s worth it!
- Arie (9/5): Superb -
- Flynn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (8/5): ideal for short break away - perfectly situated to get to the local points of interest everything was fine
- Zoe (10/5): Exceptional -
