I had a mixed stay at the Amsterdam Canal Hotel. The beautiful canal views and friendly staff made for a cozy atmosphere, but I faced challenges with room cleanliness and maintenance during my visit. Overall, it's a picturesque spot with potential, but there are areas that could use improvement. 🛶😊

My stay at the Amsterdam Canal Hotel was quite a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right by the canals and close to major attractions, but the cleanliness of my room left a lot to be desired.
