The location of the hotel in the heart of Amsterdam’s Canal District is truly fantastic. It felt safe, quiet, and incredibly convenient everything was within walking distance, which made exploring the city a pleasure. However, there were a few concerns that impacted the overall experience. The curtain covering the door in our room was broken, making it difficult to fully close and maintain privacy. The walls were also very thin it often sounded like people upstairs were coming through our door, and unfortunately, we could hear intimate noises from the room above while staying with young children, which made things quite uncomfortable. Another issue was the bathroom window. The blinds didn’t offer proper coverage, and with a window directly across from ours, it created a privacy concern. We had to improvise a solution using a record player our son had purchased just to block the view. While the central location is a major highlight, the room felt quite outdated and the furniture was stained, which didn’t match the premium price point.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was fabulous. The hotel had a very cool vibe. Our room had magnificent views. What could have been even better if the room had had a full length mirror and if the bathroom fan had been working. Small but significant points, easily fixed.

Beautiful hotel, perfect location. Very clean! The only thing I would say is the shower water pressure is awful! If you have long hair you may as well stand out in the rain! Also, there was a constant smell of cigarettes throughout the night.. very strange! But apart from that it’s a lovely little hotel with a very entertaining staircase!!

The hotel was nice, classic Amsterdam hotels will small bar/check in area and rooms spread around. Great location, in the nicer part if town as well. I didnt like that our rooms were accessed via a separate front door e.g. didnt go through the lobby/bar to access them. You had use your key at another front door on the street and access your room from there. The problem was some customers didnt shut that door, meaning anyone could, in theory get inside - i wasnt a fan of this bit! The room itself was nice, comfy bed and small bath room.

Sixth time staying at max brown canal district Can’t fault it I arrived later than expected due to flight issues arrived around 22:30 was greeted at reception by the male reception staff didn’t catch his name but he was Chelsea fan, I could see I needed a drink so gave me the usual welcome drink then got me booked in then shown me to my room which was 405 which was my first time staying outside rooms back out the reception. Can’t fault the room radiator was on to warm the room Ready for my arrival which was appreciated. Room was clean not too small tv shower kettle. Only issue was someone kept leaving the front door open which could be something to keep watch to keep any unwanted guests from just walking in. Will be back later this year for my 7th stay. You won’t be disappointed booking max brown. See you soon Ryan Manchester

5 star review

We had an amazing stay at Max Brown in Amsterdam! From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless—our room was ready just after lunch, which is a rarity for a city hotel. We were warmly welcomed with a drink on arrival, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The staff were all young, incredibly friendly, and genuinely eager to offer advice and recommendations, which made exploring Amsterdam even better. We booked a small canal view room, but to our surprise, it was anything but small—it was the most spacious room I’ve ever had in Amsterdam. The view, overlooking the intersection of two canals, was everything you imagine about a hotel room view in Amsterdam. The entire hotel was spotless, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
