The Alfred Hotel

I really enjoyed the room : it was quite spacious and well laid out. The mattresses were very comfortable, and I appreciated having a shower instead of a bathtub; it’s much more practical. Bonus points for the separate toilet and bathroom. The large window was also a great feature. Housekeeping was impeccable (thank you to the lady we met for taking such good care of our room). At reception, we were able to check in early, and the hostess was absolutely lovely and patient.

The Alfred staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived early and were able to leave before checking in which was very convenient. Transportation was very easy as well. Multiple bus stops within a three block walk, city tram was 3 blocks away and they rent bicycles if you wan to try that out. The museum district is 7 or 8 blocks away and the city is about a 15 min tram ride away. It is located in a quiet area of town with many small shops, restaurants, bakeries, etc within a block or two. The room was compact, but very nice. The entire bathroom was tiled and the shower was not separated so the entire bathroom floor got wet. Other than that the room was great! There was an espresso machine in the room which was also an added bonus. This was the most expensive hotel in our European trip, but seemed consistent with other hotels in the area.

Our room was quite big, family suite, and we even had a nice view with a beautiful sunrise in the morning. We had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. We drove with a car and used a nearby longstay parking ( booked before we arrived) at Olympic Stadion, so that it tool us less than 10 min to get to the hotel. The location itself is very beautiful, Suid, many rich houses and totally different vibe of the city.

Location was perfect given it was 15 minutes to the centre. It meant we were not constantly in the noise of the city. The park nearby was really lovely. The staff were very helpful and we were able to keep our bags prior to checkin and after check out. Room was good for 4 people as a family.

The hotel is great overall. Clean and beautiful inside. Beds are comfortable. Staff cleaned the room every day and switched towels. Location is perfect, 10 min walk to Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. Staff was also friendly and accommodated our request.
