Very good staff, small issue with water flooding from the room above.
Loved the Cat !
We loved it here. The place was clean and the staff is very hospitable. Just be prepared to carry your luggage up steep, narrow stairs. But itvwas well worth the struggle. We had an amazing view and window in room 12!
Location is perfect!! Amal view from the room was spectacular. Be warned tho. Very steep stairs for anyone with mobility issues. The staff was willing to help with bags. Nicely appointed.
While the hotel was nice and check in effortless. When I made the booking it should have been noted that major national holiday was occurring the day we were leaving and car transport world be impossible to the airport. Rather than missing our early flight the following day we left a day early to assure we could be at the airport. Unlike other Expedia listings that usually give this warning. The grand canal boutique hotel did not. They provided no apologies and were rather rude that we didn’t know. We booked this room months I’ve been to Amsterdam dozens of times. And honestly this will be my last the the city has changed. Kindness and genuine concern for guests seems to be gone. We were traveling with friends who stayed at other hotels though they booked non refundable rates through Expedia they were refunded a night stay for leaving early to be able to be at the airport and not stranded. This is something this hotel should have made aware when booking the dates we did. Lesson is do your research a bit more. I’ve been in other cities in Europe during holidays but never experienced something like this. Fortunately Amex is charging back the night we didn’t use direct from the hotel. But was such a a headache. Nice hotel but dishonest in their listing. Shame on this property.

Lack of communication lack of empathy for distressed travelers. They only were concerned for making money and not reasonable customer service to guests

Front desk is attentive and helpful. Hotel is in a great location. There is free still and sparkling water in the lobby plus snacks. The room was spacious, but I expected a bit more for the money I paid. When I arrived, my AC was turned off (apparently the front desk can control) despite it being 80 degrees outside. They did turn it on when I asked but it was then turned off again two days later. If AC is advertised, I’d like access to it at all times during my stay. My bathroom door glass was also busted out which didn’t affect me because I was staying alone, but I would have been unhappy had I been traveling with someone else.
I loved this hotel. Our room was cute and clean, and the hotel is in an ideal place in Amsterdam. There are tons of shops, restaurants, and things to do within a couple minutes walk of the hotel. Staff was accommodating and they had a friendly cat who lived in the front office.
It wasn’t a problem and it’s not a flaw of the hotel, but just be aware that the stairs are sort of tricky. Like all older buildings in Amsterdam; the stairs are very steep and narrow, and each step is quite small.
We had the room on the top floor — 54 steep steps. But the room faced the back, with a nice view, and was very quiet. Ceilings were high amd the bed was comfortable.

The floor in our room was not clean and the wardrobe was a bit wobbly! We would have benefitted from having a mirror in the bedroom and some sort of surface on which to put our toiletries by the bathroom sink. When our room was cleaned, the towels were not replaced, despite us leaving them in the shower tray. On the plus side, the reception staff were mostly very helpful, the location was quiet, and we appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks. We had to ask for help with bringing our suitcases down the steep stairs, but this wasn't a problem.
The staff went above and beyond to make the stay a great time. Had everything we needed, the hotel provides nice snacks and coffee whenever you want. Lovely location, not noisey at all, at least in the room we stayed in. Will return soon hopefully.
It is nothing fancy, but it is full of charm. I stayed in room 32. It didn’t have a grand view, but was quiet and spacious. No breakfast, no problem. The coffee machine in the lobby was great as was the coffee maker, kettle, and fridge in the room. It is surrounded by excellent cafes, restaurants and a supermarket. It was easy to walk to most attractions and central station. Though I do recommend the bike taxis.
I would definitely stay there again.
