Cute and Cosy!
Cute and cosy, although we did opt for the small double so no complains about the size. Everything was laid out really well and making good use of the space. The exterior is also very pleasing to the eye as its how people in Amsterdam would live in these narrow houses lined up next to each other with different shaped roofs and vintage design. The staff were friendly. The location is slightly outside of the central area however for ease the tram system and other public transport is very easy to use, quick and efficient. There are many restaurants and shops in the area and some of the main attractions are a short walk from the hotel. We had breakfast, this was a good selection, for the small space they have they presented it really well. The free tea and coffee at any time of day is a bonus!

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.

Good location but unlike pictures.
The hotel was centrally located and the room was a good size for a short stay. However, it was not as nice as the pictures and the mattress was very uncomfortable.

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.

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.

The hotel is small and nice. The staff was kind, helpful and friendly. The rooms are a bit dated but have everything you need and the location is very convenient, the bus (397) to the airport is really close by. I liked this hotel.

Wonderful stay and kind, friendly helpful staff!!
I loved this hotel not far away from the airport and definitely not far away from the city centre. A few minutes walk to catch the city tram/ buses or restaurants. Not far from some of the city museums!! The room was quite small but very cozy. The room had a fan which was wonderful after a long day of walking. The hotel staff was very helpful and kind. Like I said I loved it there. If I'm going back next April I will try to book a room at the same hotel - Hotel Alexander.
