Amsterdam Hotel w/canal view

I am looking for some ideas for a canal view room in Amsterdam for a reasonable price around $150 USD. Any help?

LOVE the Brouwer! Just be sure to book early... they fill up months in advance.

Last October I stayed at The Canal House in the Jordaan and really liked it and the neighbourhood.

Thanks all. I have read great things about the Hotel Brouwer as well. Do you know how much in advance is needed to book. The Canal House photos on TripAdvisor look nice as well, but I went on the website and they stated it is closed for renovation until Spring 2009. I wonder if I have the right address.

halsa - did you go here: http://www.hotelbrouwer.nl/index.html I didn't see anything on their site about being closed until 2009.

Last year, I booked a mid-August stay in April, so you should be safe with 3-4 months in advance. Maybe 2, depending on the season.

Halsa, I check The Canal House's website and you're right, it's closed until Spring 2009. Our room and bathroom in October 2007 looked recently remodelled - quite the lengthy renovation. Too bad.

Might fit your budget, depending on when you're travelling.

If you want your room to have a canal view you will have to specify this when booking - only the rooms at one side have this.

We had a canal view room at the Armada Hotel near Rembrandtplein, and for a good price. The problem is the beds were terrible. But they were renovating, so maybe they have better beds by now. The room was very small, but the bathroom was newly done.
