My Fiance and I just got back from 3 nights in the Caransa. Everything was great, nothing was 'wow' like a Jacuzzi bath or balcony over the canal, but the rooms were very nice and spacious, lovely bathrooms, spotlessly clean, great location- and when you paid the price we did I would have been very happy with a lot less!... more

A great hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room (a single) was a good size - recently renovated. Very clean. I'd definitely go back again! more

I stayed for the weekend and found that the staff were polite and helpful, the rooms were clean and modern and well stocked with toiletries and anything you might have forgotten. I had a room at the back which was really quiet, despite the hotel's location on busy Rembrantsplein. The central location was useful during my short stay. I go... more

Attended IDFA 4 days in Amsterdam. Was booked by the conference staff, 480 euro total with breakfast included. The building looked weird from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised once inside the room. Room had two beds, nice bedding, good lighting, good desk, nice extra armchair, sparkling bathroom. Drawback:: I'd hate for two people to share this room. There... more

Probably around ten - fifteen mins walk from Dam... more

NH Caransa is right in Rembrantplein. Its literally in the square. You... more

I am just back from a three night stay in this hotel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I booked the hotel only a few days before going but we still had a lovely room. It was very modern with a mini bar which didn't charge you everytime you moved something which was handy because you could buy your own drinks... more
