Every once in a while you find a hotel that tries (usually succeeds) in hitting you up for $50 or so in extras - this one insisted on collecting $20 in "city tax" even though my voucher clearly said all taxes were paid, and also $35 for two local outgoing and 2 local incoming calls. Not going to ruin a... more

receptionist was very friendly, cheerful and helpful. allowed me to check in at midday, room was spacious and well presented. bed was very comfortable. location close to all the major attractions - i hardly took transport - always walked - close to the pretty canals. more

The hotel was a good location. We walked every where from it. About a 10 minute walk to the Train station. About a 5 minute walk to the Leidseplein area. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom was also spacious. There was a computer to use but it cost 3 euros for 9 minutes on the internet (pricey!). The... more

On street front, noisy but double-paned glass works. Centrally located to walk everywhere, and safe. Very clean room & bathroom. Small beds and bed-fitting blankets, not good for big people. Limited tv. Good AC. No 110V power port, but adapter available sometimes at front desk. Free wi-fi internet in lobby only, and it was a bit slow. Restaurant bar in... more

In Amsterdam for a 4-day stay. Would never recommend this hotel during warm weather as there is no AC and the room was very hot. We couldn't open the windows at night because we had a room at the front of the hotel and the street noise was so loud. Shower flooded the room resulting in a foul smell from... more

Quite a good location - could walk/tram to most major tourist attractions in the city. Some nice places to eat/drink close by too. Room good value for a major European city. We went for a Deluxe room - worth the upgrade for the late check-out alone (2pm)! Breakfast v.good, with a wide range of options, including many suitable for vegetarians.... more

The train station has a facility to print a map to the hotel of your choice. We walked from the station to the Albus Grand. (Plenty of trams available for only 1.60 Euro) Once there we were upgraded as all non smoking standard rooms were full. The deluxe room was very comfortable and clean. Some road traffic noise had to... more

My g/f had a long weekend off and decided she wanted to meet me in Amsterdam. Well, after doing some searching trying to find a place to stay on short notice during peak tourist season, I came across this place. I didn't want to book a place outside of the city center, and the price was right for this place.... more

This hotel is situated in a good central location, but there is nothing about it which is remotely Grand. The reception was well presented but the rooms are very basic and the 'power' shower was appalling and wasn't even good enough to wash properly with. The lift was broken twice during a 3 night stay and the cleaners were very... more
