I would like to underline that the gentleman in the reception received me well courteous, prepared professional and pleasantly forthcoming. The structure in which he works is extremely noisy, I could be the person in the neighbouring/or above room not just snoring but breathing as if he was on my bed. The whole place is run down tired - having nothing to do with being a historical building. I checked out leaving the second prepaid night behind me and went to an airport hotel at under half price, spacious. The price difference will easily pay the train to and from AMS centraal and some consumption in the streets of Amsterdam. At the airport hotel I also paid tourist tax per night, however it was less than a 1/3 of what I was charged at the canalview hotel.
