Offering free WiFi and city views, Canal Hideaway is an accommodation situated right in the centre of Amsterdam, just less than 1 km from Amsterdam Central Station and a 9-minute walk from Anne Frank House. The property is around less than 1 km from Dam Square, a 7-minute walk from Beurs van Berlage and less than 1 km from Basilica of St. Nicholas. Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder is less than 1 km from the guest house and A'DAM Lookout is 6.9 km away.

A perfect location - few minutes away from the Amstredam Centraal, but very, very quite with a nice canal view right in front of the doors and good places to have breakfast / lunch just around the corner (or, across the bridge - to be more precise) . The room is not too big. In fact, it's quite ascetic - though there is a private bathroom with shower and bed is very comfortable - much better comparing to well known hotel chains in Europe. The building is historic, which means one sometimes can hear some noises from other persons living there (like somebody climbing stairs), but that definitely is a minor thing - it just confirms the authenticity of the building. David is very friendly and helpful person. It's easy and pleasant to communicate with him and to agree about the details.

    This is not a hotel, but a room in a private home (direct access to the room trough a hallway). Location is very central, only a few minutes walk from the train station and all the action. This stretch of street is a residential, no shops and restaurants, hence its quiet at night. Room is exactly as pictured. Nice new bathroom, great shower too!
