Pros:

Incredible location, gracious hosts. The breakfast was top notch. It felt like a very niche experience. The furnishings were beautiful and the courtyard below was really peaceful . I would highly recommend it and will definitely return.

Cons:

We couldn’t stay longer!

Perfection!
Pros:

It could not have been a better location and an amazing staff and rooms! The breakfast is farm to table and the craft cocktail bar downstairs is really special.

Cons:

The stairs to go to the rooms are steep but it is a canal house!

Pros:

Ciekawe klimatyczne miejsce urządzone z dużą dbałością o szczegóły i estetyczne dodatki, których nie sposób zapomnieć. Personel spokojny, zaangażowany, uważny co daje poczucie ukojenia i domowej atmosfery. Koktajle w barze są wyśmienite z wyczuwalnymi świeżymi sokami i dobrej jakości dodatkami w których można rozpoznać każdą nutę smakową.

Would stay again but service could be better at this price point
Pros:

Lovely room and an excellent location, so we would likely stay again, but the service doesn't match the nearly €400-a-night price.

We stayed six nights in room 5, overlooking the canal. The room was genuinely lovely: big openable windows plus air conditioning, a very comfortable bed, and thoughtful touches like the included snacks. It sits at the top of a very steep flight of shallow stairs, but the staff carried our suitcases up and down without our having to ask, which we really appreciated. The location is so central we could reach almost everywhere on foot or by metro, and the breakfast was good, albeit repetitive over a stay this long.

It's a pity that the service wasn't as good as the room. An airport transfer was advertised at €59, then quoted at €69 when I went to book it. I provided every detail requested, and no driver showed up; we took the train instead (which was easy enough that we took it again at the end of our stay). I emailed the owners about the no-show and never received a reply.

On arrival, the greeting was cold and I was told brusquely, "You need to pay," which felt rude plus I had already checked in and paid in full en route. Over six nights we never met either owner, and no one asked how the stay was going or whether anything could be better. Many hotels offer WhatsApp contact with guests, which I've found very helpful for questions before and during a stay, but this one does not. Finally, we invited a friend for cocktails one evening and while they were good, they were expensive, and unfortunately there is no discount for guests.

Amazing place to stay in Amsterdam
Pros:

We had such a nice overnight stay at Rosalia's. We loved the quirkiness of the hotel and the staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful.
We arrived around 11am and left the bags in the bar area and then returned to check in later. We got a really friendly greeting which was a great start.
The room was lovely. I requested a first floor room as the hotel has no lift and the stairs are steep. When we arrived back, the bags had already been carried to the room. Room had everthing needed including free mini bar with soft drinks in it and some Tonys chocolate and crisps.
The bed was so comfortable and the shower was lovely, powerful and hot. The room was just what we needed and big by European standards.
Breakfast the next morning was amazing, sooo good and tasty, Really set us up for the day. After check out we left the bags again and returned later in the day to collect them.
Overall, highly recommended and will return next time we are in Amsterdam.

PS, the cocktail bar serves amazing cocktails

Mostly Amazing with two very minor concerns.
Pros:

The staff were all amazing and that bed was the best mattress I've ever slept on. Also, their was AC and a safe.

Cons:

The opening with no door for the shower was annoying. Feeling a cold breeze anytime I didn't have water pouring on me. Also, the towel bar was way too stuck out from the wall in that narrow space next to the toilet. My upper back hit it twice getting up off the can.
