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. 🛶😊
