Hotel Alexander

Hotel Alexander is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood across the canal from the Leidseplein, a popular nightlife section of Amsterdam with lots of wonderful restaurants and music venues. It is also a short walk to the Museumplein with the Rijks Museum and the Van Gogh Museum, among others. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We stayed here for 6 nights at the beginning of our trip before heading onto Bruges. Went we returned for one last night before catching our flight from Schipol, the manager automatically upgraded our room for our customer loyalty. The hotel is easily accessible to Schipol Airport by train and tram.

We selected this hotel for a friends trip. After reading many reviews of various hotels and trying to find one not directly in City Centre and not too pricey, we found a good one! From the airport, we took a tram to the hotel. The hotel was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to get a triple room, which worked fine. Be sure not to pack more than you can carry. The elevator broke down on our last day and we had to carry luggage down steps. I know these things can happen but this is an older hotel so there's not a second elevator. Not a complaint but folks should be aware when staying at any older hotel. We didn't do the breakfast but it looked wonderful. The location makes it easy to walk to many tourist spots, as well as catch a tram and be almost anywhere in less than 20 minutes. I would certainly stay here again.

Good quiet location away from main road. Close to museum quartier but about 20 minutes away from central station. Our room was on 2nd floor facing the road with a window. Room was compact and a bit more storage space would have been useful. Lady at the reception is very helpful. We didn't have the breakfast so cannot comment on it. Overall good place to stay.

Wonderful people. Excellent location for most attractions. Overall 9/10
