The Albus hotel is one of my favorites when on business trips in Amsterdam. Not only is the location fantastic (across the street from flower market, next to the large movie theater Pathe, next to Herengracht canal & close to Kalverstraat shopping street), the hotel is very clean and modern. The rooms I have stayed in were quite small, but... More

The albus, was a great place to base our day from, accessible for all our needs transportation wise, all the attractions close by, with great fresh breakfast, and my teenage son thought it was 'cool' ! Would recommend for modern people.

I thought the room availablity was sort of like a "bait and switch" as we thought had a different room than what we had, were shown a larger room for more money, took it as was indeed nicer, but didn't we ask for it originally? We were very impressed with the women at the front desk for friendliness, helpfulness and... More

Agreed that street-facing room noisy but it is in the heart of a major city. Room clean & refreshed every day, staff really helpful, down to the receptionist who brought a drink of water whilst I stood outside guarding our bikes as husband checked in. Restaurant was excellent if pricey. Didn't quite get the dark purple interior. Ideal location for... More

Stayed in AMS prior to my London Visit. Location is great, I would say nearly anything and everything is a 15 minute walk. Close enough where you are walking through the streets with the canals and homes with personality. Service, first off I arrived at 10 am, not sure what is check in - but a after speaking to the...

The Albus is a very well located to all of the museums, historical areas, Palace, shopping, restaurants. It is a completely remodeled hotel. It is the embodiment of form over function. It is really contemporary and well done. There is free espresso in your room. The service was very good. Functionality is compromised for style, however, so if you are... More

We booked a double room in January for a May arrival and they still gave us one of the worst rooms-facing the street. We phoned ahead to check our reservation but the person who answered could not speak English well enough to even copy down a phone number and we never got a call back. We asked for single beds...

Great location: Rijksmuseum 2 minutes; canal walks to Dam Sq and the rest of the old quarters, at the door. The hotel? Staff very friendly but not in your face; room service quick and not deathbed money; terrific restaurant menu (we actually, went out but I'd have loved to sample here) and room very comfortable and clean. We're here on... More

The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The location is hard to beat but beware of rooms facing the street! We were on the 6th floor & even in late winter/early spring the room was hot enough during the night that we had to have a fan (thoughtfully provided, along with earplugs) on all night. We tried opening the window... More
