Perfect Location, Wonderful Staff, Great Stay
Pros:

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Albus Boutique Hotel. The location was perfect, close enough to walk to most things we wanted to see, and quiet enough to get a great night’s sleep.

The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, the room was spotless, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in while travelling.

Everything just felt easy and welcoming. If we’re back in Amsterdam, we wouldn’t think twice about staying here again. Highly recommended!

Great location for your stay in Amsterdam
Pros:

Location close to plenty of eateries, cafes, trams & the beautiful flower markets. Staff very friendly & helpful. Particular mention of Raymond & Julia on reception who we had most contact with. Bar bites were good when we didn’t feel like walking anywhere! Rooms were compact, but comfortable & clean. Good shower, wi fi & BBC on tv! Safe was handy.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was great!

A Fabulous Apartment But Lack Lustre Reception Staff
Pros:

The Hotel is lovely and the apartment(s) are annexed along side the Hotel so it has an external entry for the apartment(s). The apartment has been recently refurbished and is well kitted out. The bathroom is lovely and the bedroom is comfortable. I arrived in early and was able to store my luggage and sort out the bill etc - with complimentary coffee whilst I was doing that. The morning reception staff were brilliant. I headed out for the day and returned to have an issue with check-in that was initially handled very badly by the reception staff on in the afternoon but got a satisfactory response the next morning after emailing management overnight. I had an issue with delayed check-in by 75 minutes with poor communication and lack of concern for the impact the delay was having on my evening plans. I found the reception staff dismissive and not very friendly. It was looked into by management the next morning - despite the reception staff telling me no management would be onsite until Monday which as it turns out was not the case. I was given the briefest of orientations to the apartment and hotel facilities, just told everything was on the QR code - it wasn't. This was remedied the next day by management. If management had not stepped in, I'd have rated this stay lower. It most definitely impacted on my experience of staying here.The management were excellent. The breakfast is good and the cook hilarious and very attentive. Otherwise the staff in the hotel were fabulous. The stairs to the apartment are quite steep and narrow which is tricky to navigate if you are carrying luggage and when you are walking down them. Oh and the washing machine was difficult to get to work as the door had an issue. Kudos to the management who got onto this immediately.

Great location. Slightly overpriced for the facilities. I paid nearly $400 AU per night. Most likely I would try somewhe
Pros:

Location. Friendly staff. Coffee machine in room. Drinking water from tap. Clean/quiet room.

Cons:

Very small rooms. Had to edge around the bed to get to the bathroom. Fine for one person. No kettle for tea making. Breakfast was sufficient but basic.

The best hotel experience we’ve ever had!
Pros:

We travel a lot, but we have never experienced such a pleasant hotel and flawless service. We stayed here as a group for a whole week, booking 4 rooms in total, and we absolutely loved the beautiful atmosphere.

The entire hotel and all rooms were sparkling clean. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it so easy to sleep and rest well. We also loved the spacious and clean bathrooms. Having a Nespresso machine in the room was a perfect touch for our mornings. One of our friends stayed in the apartment with a balcony facing the courtyard and was extremely satisfied—the kitchen was fully equipped, making them feel right at home. The steep stairs didn't bother us at all, as they are simply a charming part of Amsterdam.

The service was top-notch from reception to breakfast. The reception team was extremely helpful, giving us great tips on what to see in the city and how to get there. Breakfast was delicious with a huge variety to choose from, but the absolute highlight was the fresh eggs and omelets made to order by the chef.

Quick tip for other guests: If you want fresh towels, just leave the used ones on the floor.

Thank you for the perfect service and for making our stay so memorable. We highly recommend this hotel!
