We had the absolute best stay with Max Brown! The staff was extremely welcoming and fun to chat with. The bar, coffee, and snacks were wonderful. The whole experience felt perfectly curated, charming, and unique. We thoroughly enjoyed their food and activity recommendations. They booked a canal tour for us with unlimited wine and cheese. They even provided a vibey Spotify playlist that we enjoyed while hanging out in our room. 10/10 we will stay here again! Thank you Max Brown Hotel for an unforgettable and special experience!

The location is unbeatable - right on the most beautiful canal in the city. Close to many restaurants and shops, and a very manageable walk to the museum district. The staff are very helpful!

Cons - there are no lifts, and the stairs are steep, but the staff offered to help carry my case. Pro's - it's a quiet and lovely location, but close to multiple small restaurants. An easy 40 minute walk to most places I wanted to visit like the Rijksmuseum.

Nice hotel

Great little hotel in a good location, loved the basketball hoops in the room. Breakfast wasn’t the greatest (run out of loads of things including juice and only bread and tomatoes for a vegan) We would definitely stay there again, but wouldn’t have use breakfast.

I stayed here recently and found the location to be very convenient close to everything I needed. The room itself was quite small, but since I didn’t spend much time in it, it wasn’t a big issue. What really made up for it was how safe I felt during my stay and how genuinely friendly and welcoming the staff were. Overall, a good choice if you’re looking for a well-located, comfortable place with great service.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best part of Max Brown in the Canal District was the bed — very comfortable — and the beautiful views of the canals. Unfortunately, almost everything else was disappointing. The building is all steep, narrow stairs, so if you have any bags (or mobility concerns), you’ll need serious help. It’s definitely not handicap-friendly or suited for anyone with physical limitations. We had issues at check-in after extending our stay and accidentally booking the other Max Brown for one night. I took responsibility for the mistake, but the front desk staff member was insulting and unhelpful. The location is also far less convenient than advertised — not close to much of anything. Our room was by the entrance, and the smell of cigarette smoke from staff hanging outside regularly drifted in. This could have been a lovely stay, but as a frequent traveler to Amsterdam, I won’t be returning.
