The room at Canal Hideaway was one of the highlights of our visit. You are staying on one of the most beautiful canals in the city historically owned by the elite of Amsterdam. Both the owner (Steven) and the room manager (David) were amazing during our stay. David gave us great suggestions for attractions and restaurants. The view from the room was unbeatable

The place is perfect. 10-15 min. away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The garden was a little peace of heaven.

    Great Location! If you are looking for a hostel that is "just" outside the city centre (in a quiet, secluded area) then I would highly recommend this place. You are a stone throw away from Amsterdam Centraal Station across the channel (via a free public ferry).

    A quiet and peaceful place; like a piece of paradise on earth. Isolated from the bustle of the city but only a few minutes by bike from the ferry that takes you to the city centre. Charming and welcoming hosts that have a lot to tell and some pretty good insiders if you ask them. The apartment is clean, spacious and well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. It'll only exist for the next few years, so book now or you'll miss out!

    The property was in a great location. Very near to a Metro station, with quick & easy links to the City Centre. The staff were super friendly and attentive, there was always someone around which made things feel very safe. I felt very safe & link my property was secure in general. The other guests were really friendly & the hostel definitely allowed for people to be both sociable or a bit quieter. Bathroom & kitchen facilities were always clean.

    Frank is a great host, he is very kind. The house is really nice, is in a great location, near to the city center, and is also very quiet. Breakfast is very various and in the morning it's a pleasure having a tee in the kitchen I hope to return soon.

    Great location near the city centre but distanced from the crowds. Great hosts and atmosphere, clean and well decorated quiet room with a private bathroom, a tiny fridge, a kettle, a coffee machine and a toaster so you can have a simple breakfast at home. Feels more like a simple but functional dutch home rather than a hotel or hostel.
