I had a pleasant stay at Canal House Suites, with the central location really standing out. It's right in the heart of Amsterdam's vibrant red-light district, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were warm and helpful, providing great service throughout my visit. However, there were some drawbacks. The accommodations showed signs of wear, and I noticed a lingering smell in the room that affected my overall experience.

I had a nice stay at Canal House Suites at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam, thanks to the really good staff who were always attentive and helpful. The location in the heart of Amsterdam made it easy to explore nearby attractions, but I did notice some signs of wear in my room that took away from the overall luxury feel. While the dining experience was excellent, with high-quality meals and attentive service, I felt some areas, like room cleanliness, could have been better addressed.
