The Property — B&B Canaliscious
B&B Canaliscious is a charming 3-star hotel that embodies the laid-back spirit of Amsterdam's Jordaan district. Its 19th-century canal house façade has been tastefully restored to reveal a modern interior with elegant touches and a dash of whimsy. The lobby's exposed brick walls, wooden beams, and vintage nautical accents create a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a relaxed friend's living room. This B&B suits couples and solo travellers seeking a peaceful retreat from the city's bustle, with a homely feel that's perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Chronicles of Amsterdam
Amsterdam's history dates back to the 13th century when it was a small fishing village on the Amstel River. The city's Golden Age in the 17th century saw the construction of grand canals, including the iconic Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht, which now offer picturesque views and a UNESCO World Heritage designation. Amsterdam's liberal attitude and avant-garde spirit have made it a haven for artists, writers, and intellectuals throughout the centuries. Today, the city is a cosmopolitan hub with a thriving cultural scene, from the Rijksmuseum to the trendy Jordaan neighborhood, where B&B Canaliscious is located.

Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (4th and above) with a canal-side orientation will offer a view of the Amsterdam canals, although the view may be partially obstructed by the adjacent buildings.
Quietest floors
