Hotel Aalders

If museums are your goal in Amsterdam plus proximity to the canals this family owned hotel is an excellent choice. Affordable in comparison to other choices in this area, customer focused, personal service. All the staff including cleaning staff were great but RORY deserves a special mention. He shared lots of useful information as well as the history of the property. They are planning additional renovations in the lobby in December. My suggestion- capitalize on your family history, it's what makes this hotel special. Note- we did standard room and it IS European small/ tiny. But a great base to walk to Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum and canals.

A beautiful hotel in a lovely area of Amsterdam. All staff were so friendly and helpful, most of all the lady who greeted us on our arrival (and was also there for checkout). Apologies we did not know your name! We were delighted to find a little balcony in our room, which was just lovely to gaze out over the quiet street. Location excellent for families, far enough away from the hustle bustle but within easy walking distance of all attractions. The Museumplein area was a delight to walk around in the evenings. Really easy access to the airport too with the airport express bus stop literally just around the corner. Room and en-suite were extremely clean. All essential items replenished during our stay too. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel but the smell as we left each morning was delicious! Would definitely recommend this hotel, particularly for those travelling as a family. Ask for the room above the breakfast room (no 24) and you won’t be disappointed. Also a massive thank you for the birthday treats that were left for my daughter… she was so delighted!

The hotel was in a nice location, the room was clean and the staff were very pleasant. However, our family of 4 was very cramped in our family room. In comparison to other family rooms booked on this vacation, this was the smallest.
