Albus Grand Hotel

Comment

The hotel mixed up my booking of a double bed with that of a twin bed. The twin bed room was small and had no window and did not redflect value for money. The entire first floor was both smokey and held a strong lingering paint odours. Service was relatively good given that in lieu of room mix up, i was able to move to an apartment next to the hotel at no additional cost however the apartment entrance was dilapidated and apartment very dusty however included windows and double bed. Very good location for Leinsplein, a very good area if you wish to avoid red light district and enjoy the drinking scene. Also very good location for central areas and good access for eastern cultural quarter.

I would recommend it as it was good value for money. But because its on a main road if ur located at the front of the hotel it is seriously noisy, especially at 6am!!!!

Hotel is in an excellent location for getting to all the tourist venues-just round the corner from the flower market.Very helpful staff who looked up info for us a couple of times.Breakfast was good-self service.You could have a hot breakfast of bacon,eggs,beans,sausage and not just the cold continental breakfast that is sometimes the only option. Altogether a very pleasant stay.

1.Found a very good steak restaurant called Bistro La Forge de Alberto at Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 26. This is in a little street just off the Leidseplein. 2.If flying with KLM-buy the discounted Holland Pass- it saved us quite a bit of cash and we jumped the queues at the museums.

The hotel is very central to all amenities with excellent food options and has a coach service to and from the airport

Comment

No tea/coffee making facilities and no room service. No other complaints apart from these though and would highly recommend the hotel.

Brilliant location! There is a beautiful flower market and many shop 2 minutes walk away. Rembrandt Square has lots of places to eat and drink again 2 minutes away. The bedroom room had very poor lighting with all the lights turned on. This was very disappointing as it was difficult to read and put make up on in the evenings. The decoration & content of the room was fine and had everything we needed - wardrobe, shelves, surface to put cases on, table, chairs, desk & TV and side tables with drawers. It was abit small with all these but no problem otherwise. The bathroom only had a shower - I expected a bath in it for a 3* hotel. The other rooms of my group booking did have baths - So I was disappointed mine didn't. The bathroom got very stuffy after 2 people had showers - it felt like there was no ventilation and room began to smell unpleasant. However we appreciate that this is in a good location for the price we paid, the staff made up for it and were excellent. The breakfast buffet which was included was excellent - there was cooked and selection of fruit, bread, cereals etc..and so the price in comparison with other hotels was very competitive. One point - We were asked if we wished to upgrade to get tea & coffee facilities in the room -I am not sure how nuch more it cost - however this was rather a strange question as all hotels in the UK have these as standard.

We went to fantastic Restaurant - Rain Restaurant on Rembrandt Square which also has a bar which turns into club on later. The food & service was excellent! Highly recommend a visit!!
