great loved it
Pros:

The bed was so comfy and bathroom was lovely. Lots of great amenities like a steamer for clothes (I got a similar one for my home), easy to work very good coffee machine, soft towels. The room in the attic was very cosy and we had a great night sleep

2nd worst in our lives.
Cons:

What breakfast ? There was no breakfast! We are in our 80s and were given a tiny room on the 3rd floor—58 steps up and down. I told the rather rude receptionist that my wife had problems with stairs but she didn’t care. No elevator, of course. We’re done with Booking.com.

Magnifique séjour
Pros:

Le placement est idéal en plein centre et à 5 min à pied de la gare. Les chambres sont très confortables ! J’y suis allée pour un voyage en amoureux pour une nuit et c’était parfait !

I liked how clean, modern and spacious the rooms were! The 24/7 reception exceeded our expectations and it was a cool experience to communicate with the team via hologram technology.

Cara and Aileens 2 night stay at Adams Canal House
Pros:

Good location, comfy bed, good communication, nice toiletries, coffee etc, great view, not too noisy. Smooth check in. Heating worked.

Cons:

Tiny towels and im not very big...this could be easily fixed. Curtain was a bit stained.
No coat hooks and nowhere to put your things in the bathroom. Put some hooks and shelves in.

Perfect location, great find!
Pros:

The location is ideal - near centraal station and close enough to walk to all museums, restaurants and shops. We loved the canal view and the rooms were clean, comfortable and more spacious than we thought they'd be. The 'virtual' check in worked perfectly and makes the process so much easier.

Good location but very difficult access to rooms and sewerage smell in bathroom which permeated
Pros:

The property was in a lovely location. Close to city centre, opposite a canal and close to passenger terminal for river cruises.

Cons:

I knew that the building had many levels and requested a lower level due to our age and how heavy our bags were. No one replied to my message and I forgot to follow up. We were on the 3rd floor - up a VERY narrow spiral staircase. It was so bad that we were unable to carry our bags to our room. We took out what we needed and left the rest in a locker on the ground floor.
Equally bad was the sewerage smell in the bathroom. We needed to keep the windows open to try to reduce the terrible smell.
The room appeared clean and the bed was comfortable and the location was good but the stairs and the smell overrode everything else.
