Very good

Noisy, dirty, smelly, old place to stay at. On the first floor the Walls and windows are paper thin. You can hear cars, people walking and talking outside your room. I couldn’t sleep with the hotel desk clerk singing outside our door! Hotel towels were crusty and stained. Hotel staff didn’t even want to get up off the sofa to help us.
The only redeeming factor is view of canal but you have to put up with people smoking and drinking right outside.
We checked out after our first night losing 2 night worth of fees.
charming but we were on the 5th floor- no elevator and the narrowest steepest stairs ever. But- that’s Amsterdam for you. the hotel staff were all helpful and the room was great. Updated and spacious bathroom. floors a little dusty throughout but it didn’t bother us.
Standard Amsterdam building in a great area, modernized and divided into hotel rooms. Clean, spacious, rooms. Basic amenities. Not sure what makes it boutique or 4-stars but it’s definitely a nice place to stay for a few nights.
A Quirky hotel wi5h a great location. We had a canal view room which had beautiful bug windows thay ipened up. The room itself was small, to be expected in a hiayorical building. Its in beed of some TLC though, floora in rough shape, walls need paintin, the bathroom smelled moldy, the caulk all around needs to bw replaced. The fosset lwaked and plumbing was held together by ducktape. Overall the hotel needs a refresh, its tired and not very clean when you take a close look. Free coffee, snacks and water in the lobby all throughout was appreviated, though there is limited lobby seating. Personel was friendly and helpful. Overall a decent stay to be right in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam
The staff were wonderful and helpful at all time . Unfortunately we got there during the Amsterdam train strike and they were very helpful. The rooms are good for Europe . Each room has coffee machine and fridge with drinks that they provide. The best part was the staff , good , kind and nice

Great location! Staff was great. Lighting could be better. Had issues with the shower overflowing. Then attempted to fix and then the bathroom had A sewage smell. Wished it was a better stay for us.
Was good overall, but the most obvious is the lack of a real concierge. There is one person at a small desk 24/7 who clearly is not directly invested in the management of the hotel. This is essentially a room, not a hotel

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.
