Helpful staff. Lovely Lobby and little extras such as tea coffee and little cookies not expected for this price. Hotel on a beautiful quiet street. Great location. Rooms were small but well appointed and very clean. We stayed in a basement room for two and very comfortable. Great value

Staff was friendly, and offered accommodating luggage storage. Room was a bit weird, had a light switch right behind my pillow on the bed so if I moved wrong I'd turn the lights on while trying to go to sleep. Nice location though, esp if you are going for the museums.

Nice & clean hotel, easy to take tram 10m to center of Amsterdam. Attentive & very helpful staffs. The only downside is the basement room was not soundproofed, we could hear people was walking, using the bathroom very loud from upstairs hence 4 stars. Other rooms should be better. Recommended!

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.

Smelly bathroom, uneven floors
Our room had a lot of issues - The bathroom and shower had a bad smell throughout our two days stay. The floor was uneven in multiple places, causing us to trip a couple of times. Dangerous with kids!
They did not tell us about the extra 67 euro "city fee" until we arrived. But the rest of the service was great. They provided complimentary coffee and helpful info about sightseeing when we asked.
The location seemed safe and friendly. It was good if you want to stay near the museums, but far away from the train station.
