Overview
The Lowdown
Embrace all that Amsterdam has to offer with this hip hotel in the heart of the city’s Canal Belt. Located just a short stroll from Dam Square, Rembrandt Square and some of Amsterdam’s best museums, The Albus will make sure you get the most out of this picturesque city. Spend your time here exploring leafy canal paths, cozy cafés, world-famous art galleries and the hip, laid-back culture of Amsterdam, Holland’s super-cool capital.
Back at the hotel, you’ll find modern interiors with brightly colored furnishings, vibrant hues and all the mod cons you could ask for. You can rest up with a cocktail or two in the lively bar, before exploring a menu inspired by the five senses at the hotel’s restaurant (named among Amsterdam’s top 20 restaurants on TripAdvisor). So whether you’re here to marvel at the fine art, rent a bike and cruise with the locals, or even explore the infamous red-light district, your hip home-away-from home has you covered.

How to Get There
Reviews
Stayed at the albus in February for 3 nights with my partner. Arrived earlier than the check in time and our room was ready for us, which we were very happy about! Offered drinks by the lovely staff. Amazing stay, comfortable and modern bedrooms, lovely bathroom. Excellent location, right in the centre. Overall a lovely stay and I highly recommend! Will be staying here every time I visit Amsterdam for sure! Thank you albus x
This hotel was so great! The staff were incredibly friendly, from check in to them saying, "have a great evening" or "welcome back" every time we passed through the lobby. The hotel was very clean and beautiful, with the rooms looking brand new. The phone that comes with each room was very handy to have and use for Google maps through the city. The hotel is fairly close to the center of the city and a great location for walking to all sorts of museums and attractions. If I go back to Amsterdam, I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay.
Not the best reception as the trainee first declined my credit card and refused to swipe it although we told her to. Eventually when she listened it worked. Then she got confused with the lift buttons ehen taking us to the room and then thought it was the wrong room. She did apologize though. We stayed for 7 days. Bed was not that comfortable and about time for a replacement on the mattress.
Otherwise a good size room with bathroom and swoher. Nespresso coffee machine was nice!
Hotel situated about 10 minutes walk to Heineken and 2 minutes to closest market and restaurants or trams. 15 minutes walk to the central station.
Happy with everything. Room was clean and quiet and had a balcony with nice rooftop views. Our young daughter got a proper bed not a sofa bed which is what we often get when we’re all three in the same room. The free map was the best we got for tram numbers and routes. Staff all friendly, welcoming and helpful. Cosy bar. Good Wi-fi connection. Tram stop just outside and excellent location for bars, restaurants, site seeing. Can’t comment on the restaurant as we didn’t use it - that’s typical for us.
Excellent location, nice well-equipped rooms. Exceptional friendly, efficient and welcoming staff at the front desk always happy to assist you whenever been approached. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel while visiting Amsterdam.
