From the WhatsApp messages ahead of arrival to the ease of communicating with the staff via WhatsApp during our stay, the Albus staff were responsive and very helpful. Our flight arrived hours before check-in opened, so we made sure we could drop off our bags at the hotel before venturing out to begin exploring the city. When we arrived, they greet us with enthusiasm even though I’m sure we looked haggard from a very long delay at Passport Control. They offered us a refreshing beverage, which we enjoyed gratefully while we formulated a shorter exploration (due to the delay and the extraordinary heat). We returned to the lobby a few minutes before check-in opened, and the staff who assisted us earlier remembered us and let us know our room was available. He checked us in and assisted us to our room. He explained the amenities and made sure we had an opportunity to ask questions before he returned to the desk. The room was comfortably chilled to 19C (~66F), which felt great after the heat of 99F outside. Staff greeted us each time we left or returned. On check-out day, we had a very early departure, and I messaged the desk to learn the checkout procedure for that hour. The response was quick: Someone staffs the desk 24/7, so someone would be there when we left in the wee hours. Indeed, when we stepped off the elevator, someone was there. He checked us out quickly and made sure we had a car waiting. I strongly recommend staying here.

Wonderful small boutique hotel. Rooms were good size for 2 people. Ours had two closets. A safe, and nespresso machine. And thank goodness we had AC for the record breaking heat wave. Hotel is in a perfect location. Just minutes to Museum area, de Pijp, jordaan , or the RDL. Did not try the restaurant but they have a lovely small bar in the lobby and they have coffee, tea, water and even some popsicles available for the kiddos. Fantastic stay

The room was OK, nothing more. There was no writing desk, no real chair, a tiny bathroom sink, a slippery-floored shower, and no drawers into which to put clothes. One large empty closet space was all there was for storage. Windows were high and small and provided little light. The hotel location is excellent, and this is the true reason for a good review.

Good points - the bed was comfy, the room was quiet and the breakfast was good, the chef makes a great omelette. The location is great.

Bad points - reception staff need some training. Luggage was taken and stored without asking our names, reservation no etc. This meant that come 3pm when we hadn’t officially checked in, we were called and threatened that our room
Would be resold as we hadn’t paid. We would have happily paid when we dropped off the cases had we been asked. Our room was not made up after our first night ( we only stayed for 2). The bins were left full, no shampoo etc, were towels left. For a 4 star hotel this was very disappointing. We were told we had late check out of 2pm only to receive a phone call at 12pm threatening us with a late check out fee as we hadn’t vacated the room. We had checked with reception only 2 hours before that it was 2pm. We returned to the hotel to find that our room key no longer worked as they had shut this off at 12pm. We also noticed all the other guests received a welcome drink. We didn’t. We are left very disappointed with our stay and feel the price charged does not reflect the service provided.

Enjoyed our stay at the Albus hotel. The bar/lounge area was nice and cosy. We never used the restaurant during our stay. Our rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and the showers were very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful for the most part. The only minor issue was that we requested one of our twin rooms be made up as a double which the hotel refused stating we had requested a twin when we booked. Aside from this, we had a really good stay. I would stay at the Albus again in future which really is the biggest indicator of it being a good hotel.

The room was spacious however the shower had no proper floor separation causing the water to flood the entire floor everytime we showered. Please do something about this.
The hotel was nicely located near city center so everything is walkable distance and tram nearby.
However the VIP Access Expedia experience wasn't great. There were no replacements for free sparkling wine for us. You could've easily give a welcome drink or something. And then comes the worst part. A welcome card was placed in our room indicating VIP access was given a complementary late check out. We asked the chat bot which said no and later reconfirmed with the receptionist in person which allowed us to have the free late checkout. Unfortunately on the day of the checkout we were called to get our bags out at the standard checkout timing. This made us upset and ruined our plans on the last day before we leave Amsterdam. Next time don't put confusing notes in guests rooms if you cannot accomodate it!

Didn't have the Breakfast package since it was an extra cost per day. The little problems I had with the room was the heating system since the weather was really cold it had trouble keeping the room warm enough at the beginning of my stay the weather warmed up above freezing and the system started to work better. In the shower the plumbing was hooked up backwards so the hot water was on the cold setting. The hotel should put a label on the trim because the hot water was really hot and if there was a label would have noticed faster. The magnetic keys for one of my friends i traveled with hers keep on locking her out must have happened 10 times for her and 4 times .There wasn't a mini fridge but there was a storm glass window paneling between the outside windows and there was enough room to keep bottled water or juices or even a few cans of soda cold . My group had trouble casting to the tv with there tablets . My device worked most of the time once i figured out my tablet had a different casting method. The bed and pillows were to my liking. Will definitely stay in this Albus hotel if I travel to Amsterdam again. I also had a One key Credit card which gave me a vip perk received a bottle of champagne also offered late check at no charge but had a early flight last day . The first day we came in really early would have been nice to swap for free early check in since wasn't using late check out. Other person in group paid 50 dollar fee for his room. Since it was around 9 am.

The hotel itself was great, in a great area. The staff was polite and helpful, however, we arrived in Amsterdam early and asked if we could check in early but no rooms were available, so we walked around and came back at 3pm when they promised the room would be ready. We arrived a little earlier and they saw us. At 3pm no room was ready. When the room was ready, they didn’t even let us know. At 3:40 when I asked if it was ready, it magically was. You just let us sit there waiting

What I found disappointing was the breakfast which we paid for. The dishes that were supposed to be hot were not. They were sitting under lights which really didn't keep them hot. Also, there is very little surface space in the room to put items so they're readily accessible. The floor lamp in the room didn't work and therefore the lighting was very dark especially during the evening. Finally, I had a lot of trouble connecting to wifi whether in the room or in the lobby. I seemed to be getting kicked out constatnly but that could have been my computer.

Excellent front desk staff! They went above and beyond to be helpful. Taxi/Uber can not stop in the front, so need to wheel luggage about half a block. The front desk staff will assist if needed. Good location. I believe there was a laundry next door. But in general ,Amsterdam is very walkable. Breakast was very good with many choices. Eggs made to order. The room was average size for Europe. Not much storage space except the closet. Bed was comfortable, but not the pillows. Fortunately, I bring my own. USB/USB-C ports at bedside. Bathroom was a little odd as there is no light switch. The light works on a motion sensor and turns off after ~ 5min. Also, need to be careful with the hand held as you could flood the bathroom. They actually kept a large sqeegee in the bathroom. Asked for a rubber mat, as shower floor could be slippery. They probably should use soap dispensers rather than small bottles. There was an issue with a missing knob in the shower which was addressed the next day. A/C worked ok. Spoke to another couple who said their unit did not cool well. There is an elevator, but sometimes faster to take the steps. Overall, would recommend.

Even though you could hear the partying with your windows open, once they were closed it was as if you were there on a quiet day. The hotel did offer of token for a drink if you reduced cleaning services, but never actually provided the token. However, if you asked, they were very accommodating.
