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.

The spacious guest house is fitted with a TV. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and chocolates or cookies. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof.

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!

Very nice location in the picturesque street by the water, part of Amsterdam Nord not much touristic, rather with local young families. Host Paul is very kind, communicative and helpful. All the tips he gave us were brilliant- dinner at Hotel De Goudfazant was a perfect. Additionally, 4 bikes were available for us and we utilised them fully - Amsterdam on bikes is the best!

    This was my first time traveling alone and I am very glad I chose The Bee hostel for my stay. I spent two nights in the "Room for Women". The hostel is clean, very comfortable. And the staff is very nice and welcoming. I also liked the neighborhood where the hostel is located, it is quiet but close to the city center. So I recommend to visit :)

    Really good valeu for money. Great location, in the heart of the central area, but in a quieter street. Big room, big bathroom and the jacuzzi was really nice. Amenities included with a few alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Angelo was really a nice host. Thank you so much! Definitely gonna book again, for me or my family.

Great host too, so kind, flexible, responsive and shared lots of helpful info about the city to give us the best experience ever. The area around the apartment is fantastic; quiet at night, walkable to restaurants and shopping, close to transportation. We will be back!

    Great location and the best host. Pete was full of great recommendations for my stay. I had a flash of wine on arrival with him and his son and even went out for breakfast on the final morning with some other of his friends. What a lovely place to stay and a great host. This was my first solo trip and it was a fantastic start. Beautiful area of Amsterdam within easy walking distance to all the main visitor attractions. Highly recommended

    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.
