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.

Set in Amsterdam in the Noord-Holland region, House boat studio with waterfront terrace has a terrace. Guests staying at this guest house have access to a balcony. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and A'DAM Lookout is 3.2 km away.

It’s such a lovely quirky place to stay. The design is fantastic, real attention to detail and it was sparkly clean. The bikes are great to get around with and there’s lots of cool restaurants and bars around. Karen is a wonderful host, very caring and knowledgeable about the area. It was unfortunately a bit to chilly to sit on the waterfront terrace so we might have to come back for that!
