The hotel is in a great location. A quiet leafy street in easy walking distance of Vondel Park and Leidersplein. We have had some great stays in the past, but the hotel is now in need of some maintenance. Good points are the location, the staff and the garden at the back of the property. The reception area is good and well maintained and the free tea and coffee in reception is very welcome. Less good. The mattress on our bed needed replacing. A topper had been put on but this did not disguise the fact that the mattress was lumpy and bumpy meaning we didn't sleep terribly well. The paint was chipped and scuffed on the walls in the room in various places. The floor tiles in the bathroom looked tired and needed replacing. The mixer tap on the bath leaked and sprayed out of the top and sides when you ran a bath - we didn't try the shower. The bath plug leaked meaning that the bath water drained away if you left it for any length of time before getting in. The carpeting in some of the main areas is stained (stairs and landings) and needs replacing. We have stayed at the Hotel Alexander a few times now but unfortunately this stay was our least favourite as we felt upgrades were urgently needed. We did email the hotel with our comments to give them a chance to respond as an alternative to posting a less than glowing endorsement but unfortunately they did not respond. Hopefully they will take this feedback as a reminder to make some updates.

It was a small room and one of negatives was slanted roofline above bed, making moving about sometimes difficult. Limited storage. It had an elevator but it did not go all the way up or down, so you have to carry luggage up or down some no matter what. Overall good location. Staff was very nice, breakfast good but roof and stairs were significant negative.

We had a really lovely stay at Hotel Alexander. We debated between being really central or a bit further out, and we're so glad we chose this hotel. Staff were great, hotel was clean and in a lovely area, good nearby transport links but also nice to walk. Would absolutely recommend.

We don't travel abroad often and are more accustomed to hotels in the U.S., but I was pleasantly surprised with the Hotel Alexander. I wish I could compare it to another European hotel at which we've stayed, but, for this stay, I was pleased with the convenient location, the immaculate room and the quiet neighborhood. It's actually a great location, away from the hubbub a bit.

Comfortable Amsterdam Retreat
I spent quite a bit of time searching for an affordable Amsterdam hotel with two separate beds. When I found Hotel Alexander, I was a bit concerned with the size of the rooms, but booked anyway. I don't regret that decision one bit! We did have a small room, but the hotel does an excellent job of packing a lot into a small area. The beds were easily separated, plush, and comfortable, with good bedding and accessible reading lights and power outlets. There was a small refrigerator and desk, with little treats just for us. The shower was really nice. The hotel itself is really comfortable, with a stylish dining area and reception. They offer luggage storage and 24/7 coffee and water. We chose not to have a car for the Amsterdam portion of our trip, but we did notice plentiful parking on the street in front of the hotel. I hear it's expensive, though.

Poor service and stained mattress / pillows.
When I arrived the receptionist was very friendly. She assisted me in finding re-sale tickets for an attraction I wanted to visit. When I got to my room the experience was not so good. My mattress was stained, there was no mattress cover on it. I reported this to the receptionist (a different person from the one I met on arrival). She tried to convince me that a sheet is a mattress cover because it covers the mattress! I did not accept this. She was unable to find a spare mattress cover. I requested an extra sheet to put on the bed instead. The pillows did have covers on them but they were heavily stained. I asked for these to be removed. The spare pillow in the wardrobe had hairs all over the pillow cover so I didn’t use it. There were no spare pillows in the hotel, so I slept for two nights without a pillow. The room fan had strings of dust hanging off it, I cleaned this myself. I was informed that housekeeping would correct the mattress/ pillow problems the next day. They did not, in fact they made the matter worst by removing my extra sheet. Rather than dealing with the staff again, I got an extra sheet myself from the laundry cupboard on the corridor. Apart from the receptionist I met on arrival I found the other staff were unhelpful. They didn’t seem to care about customer service. They were not in uniform. They did not look professional or seem to care about the guest’s experience. Location is excellent, service and cleanliness was poor.

We paid extra to have the room ready at noon instead of normal 3 pm check in since we had a red eye flight. Sadly, it wasn’t ready and we waited 45 mins, sleeping in the lobby. They were super nice about it and didn’t charge us the early check in fee so that was nice. We stayed in room 1, which was a bit noisy as it was street side and with no AC the windows were wide open.

No air conditioning in the rooms but there is in the lobby which was disappointing in 90 degree heat wave. Staff was very nice and helpful to book a taxi with ease. Room was dusty and had cobwebs on the walls. It was okay for the price we paid. Location felt safe and was quiet and easy walk to things we needed.

Really cute hotel and a great location. My teenage daughters and I walked all around Amsterdam from this hotel, very close to lots of the sights. The front desk staff were all very nice and helpful. Free coffee and water in the lobby was a nice perk! Our room was on a lower level down very steep stairs (there was also an elevator), it had lots of space for us to move around in and a big bathroom and shower! Very quiet room, we couldn't hear anyone else in the hotel or outside. We had a lovely few days here!
