Albus Hotel Amsterdam City Centre

"The Hotel Albus is very well located only a 15 to 20 minute walk from virtually anywhere you want to go. The staff was very friendly and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would stay here again."

"The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to the Flower Market, making it the perfect midpoint between the city center and the museum district. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The room is equipped with a coffee machine, and the amenities are replenished daily. The service provided by the entire staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming (special thanks to Victor!). There are a few areas that could be improved. I missed having a desk in the room, although the hotel does provide a shared meeting/workspace. The shower does not have a door, so water tends to spill onto the bathroom floor. The hotel also lacks a gym, and I would have appreciated having a lower or softer pillow option available. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I would happily recommend this hotel."

"I have stayed in this hotel 3 times since I discovered The Albus. This hotel is located in a perfect location for visiting Amsterdam. The hotel itself is very cute and fulfils its description of a "boutique" hotel. The artwork and ambiance of the overall hotel is very pleasing and appealing. The staff is very kind and helpful. They pay attention to you as you enter and leave the hotel. The price is reasonable for the accommodations. The restaurant for breakfast was a good deal. There was plenty of food and the chef was very attentive to customer's needs. I have not eaten there for dinner as the menu intimidates me. But the breakfast buffet is well worth it! The only reason I don't give this hotel 5 stars is because of the following few issues that could be easily remediated. 1. The bathrooms: They need to have some sort of shelf in the showers! While taking a shower, there is no place to place your shampoo, wash cloth, or bar of soap. Makes it very inconvenient to take a shower and use any products in the shower. The shower is also an open concept which makes the entire bathroom a wet room, which is not great because each time you go into the bathroom, there is water everywhere and your feet can get wet. Everything seems minor but when staying for a long time, it can get annoying. 2. The pillows: The staff raves about the pillows, but I find the pillows extremely uncomfortable. I had a stiff neck my entire 10 day stay. They don't offer any other options for pillows so that was very disappointing. With my stiff neck the entire vacation, I was constantly reminded of how uncomfortable the room is. It would make sense for them to have different kinds of pillows for guests so everyone can be happy. 3. The trash bin: I know this is very minor to others, but the two trash cans in the room have these plastic rings round them making the opening to the trash can so tiny that you can't throw anything away larger than an apple past the opening of the trash can. 4. The cleaning staff: I was very happy to have my room cleaned daily, which is very nice. However, they were very inconsistent with how they cleaned the room. Some days I would have wash clothes, other days I would not. Sometimes they cleaned the toilet and other times they didn't. They work hard, so I can overlook this, but it got tiresome to keep asking for wash clothes. Overall, this hotel is very nice, and I hope someone reads this to make those small adjustments so I can truly enjoy my stay and provide a 5 star review next time. I will be back in April 2027 so hopefully by then they will at least have shelves in the shower, as this was my biggest complaint. This is such an easy task, and I am hopeful they complete this by April of 2027!"
