Pros:

I stayed here for 2 nights and my experience was very bad. Firstly, this is not really a hotel, it feels more like an Airbnb. My room was on the third floor and the stairs were extremely steep and unsafe. There was no customer service, no housekeeping during my entire 2-night stay I was only given 2 towels, no toilet paper, and no hot water in the tap (only in the shower, and that too after one day). Nobody came to clean the room. It’s definitely not worth €300 for 2 nights. The only good thing about this place is its location in the city center.

Pros:

This was a very comfortable place to stay, in an excellent location with a great view of the canal.
Pretty small space, but very adequate for three people.
Bathroom door could use some hooks on the back for towels and clothing, as floor gets pretty wet when showering.
I would stay here again.
Check in and out was very easy.

Pros:

Room is very small, so does as bathroom. Stairs are narrow may easily fall. Coffee supply only for one day and no cleaning of the trash. It is not worth for what I have paid and very unexpected to live in such conditions of the room.

Pros:

It would have been nice to have more than a third of a roll of TP for a two day stay, hand towels, cleaner accommodations. Old and in drastic need of rent

The price is right!
Pros:

Hotel Canal View is a budget-friendly, no frills room for Amsterdam. It's not a cute, boutique place, but the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, the shower worked & the water was hot. I arrived early & the manager took my luggage for me. When I had to check out early to hit the museums, he kept it for me until I returned in the afternoon. I felt safe there, as a woman traveling alone. It's within walking distance of the train station. Stairs are steep, so be careful! Located near some nice restaurants. There are certainly nicer places, but for what I paid, I'm pleased with what I got.

Not brilliant.
Pros:

The guy running the hotel was nice but have got to be honest the hotel is rough, ok if you just want somewhere to sleep and get clean, the location is brilliant so that really makes up for everything else thw hotel lacks.

Pros:

This is the worst place we have ever stayed at. Stairs that are a ladder really just to get into your room. Rude manager. Told us to go away snd come back later! It was 9.30am! Torn towels mold in bath room. TV that did not work. It is not a hotel. It is not even hostel quality. Even prisioners have better living conditions. The most expensive hotel ever. Only thinggoing for it is the location

Excellent location super noisy
Pros:

The check in was easy and the room was clean and as advertised but it is so noisy! The people staying above us came home late and we were woken up by them on the stairs and then talking in their room. The windows do nothing to muffle the street noise and anyone talking outside the window sounded like they were in the room with us. While it is in a great location we would not stay here again.

Pros:

Canal view, more like dungeon view. I was unlucky to have a room facing a wall with a bathroom that smelled so bad of sewerage I heaved every time I went in it.

This is a hostel at hotel prices. All you get is a basic dated room.

Avoid!

NO NO NO!
Pros:

It's the worst hotel I have ever been to.
It was cold and humid. It is a NO NO.
The room is very small and old, and the toilet has the smallest sink I have ever seen. It is impossible to wash your face, and there is no mirror in the toilet. There is no wardrobe.

Adhering to the "non-refundable" policy for this room when a cencallation was requested 2 months prior to the stay is very predatory and oportunistic behavior. Shameful
