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.

At the guest house, each room has a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Every room comes with a private bathroom, and some rooms at Villa360 have a private garden. A flat screen TV, mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities are featured in all rooms.

This place is wonderful. It's in a quiet neighborhood, but just a few blocks from the Anne Frank House, 9 bridges and some of our other favorite places. There is also a beautiful private garden attached. If you're looking for a good Hotel alternative, this is it! The host was exceptional, providing us with all sorts of information, a bottle of Prosecco and even parting gifts.

All guest rooms come with air conditioning, a TV with cable channels, a fridge, a kettle, a shower, a hair dryer and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, rooms at the guest house also feature free WiFi.

We arrived very tired from traveling from long flights, but when Mark came to greet us and we settled into this cozy stylish space, we felt instantly relaxed. The room itself felt welcoming - it was nearly laid out and nicely designed to detail. It was a short distance walk to everything and it was the perfect location for a first timer in Amsterdam. We would love to stay here again when we return. Thank you Mark and Paul for being such awesome hosts.

    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.
