HOTEL REVIEWS
Germany, Aug 2008
Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt;sehr gute Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel; viele kleine internationale Restaurants, direkt am Park. Die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eines von wenigen Hotels in A., in denen das Frühstück im Preis inbegriffen war.Kostenlose Nutzung des Internets möglich. Das Zimmer sauber; gute Ausstattung mit Fernseher und Fön. Zimmer allerdings winzig; nicht geeignet für längere Aufenthalte und ältere Menschen.

There was no hot water when we came in, but after talking with employee, they apologized profusely and arranged for someone to come and fix it very quickly. Issue was resolved after our dinner. Clean rooms, great price, location is a bit far from downtown but easy access by tram. Pleasantly surprised by breakfast buffet and service. Recommended for quiet, comfortable and affordable stay in Amsterdam!

I recommend the Aalborg hotel. I really enjoyed my stay there. It was very clean, a bit small but for a trip to spend just a few days, it is very compatible. The staff was also friendly and gave useful info to visit the city.

The room was VERY small what suprised me as the rooms on the hotel's website are rather big. I couldnt park my car as there was no space on the street and garage which, according to the staff is always available was full.So, at 3 in the morning I couldn't park my car and the member of staff didn't seem to be very helpful.If you have a car to park, it can be rather stresful experience, next time I would look for some other hotel.

Excellent situation, just opposite Sarphati Park, walking distance to Cuyp market, Leidseplein and Vondelpark. My room was v-e-r-y small and showed to the street, but I saw rooms in that hotel that were quieter and much more spacious. I liked the staff, the breakfast and the service of a public internet access free of charge. I´d go there again.

We (family with teenagers) just spent 6 nights at this hotel, and would definitely stay again. Compared to other 3-star hotels in Amsterdam, it is fair value for money. We were in room 35 (the quad) which has a small balcony, situated at the back of the hotel and is therefore very quiet. The staff were overall very friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and the advice we were given was always good. It's true the location is not near the centre, but the plus point is a quieter neighbourhood which feels safe. The only minor negative remarks we would make are the beds (2 single, 1 pull-down small single, 1 sofabed) which were not that confortable, despite excellent new and clean pillows and duvets, and the shower which cannot be described as powerful. Overall a good experience which contributed to make our stay in Amsterdam enjoyable.

Hotel is expensive for the small space that the room offers. There was no hot water for some days without any reason. Phone calls could not be done since the room, I had to go downstairs to make a call. Internet service was very slow with only 1 computer in a very small area where check out luggage is stored. I would rate this hotel as 1 star (not 3). I came back to Amsterdam days later and stayed in different hotel not Aalborg for sure.

the hotel is without organisation.the breakfast is poor and there aren't the essencial kind of bread. the garden is change for the warehouse of the rubbish. the cleaning of the room is not daily but is done only for the personal request.one window of our room was not possible to open.in the evening the bar of the hotel was a meeting place for esternal people. we wanted to talk with the director of the hotel but it was not possible because he lives in turkey and dipendents cannot take the initiatives to change something.

Typical of all mid-price Amsterdam hotels, the stairs are steep and rooms small. The hotel has a lift (elevator) with no internal door not uncommon, but it still doesn't mean I have to like them. The bed was comfortable and bsthroom modern. Nice LCD TV set. Room was pleasant enough, but I would hate to stay in winter. Window frame looked as though it would let in lots of draughts. Staff obliging. I had to leave early one morning before breafast was served and the staff arranged in advance for me to get an early breakfast. Annoying features - Not much drawer space to unpack, and nowhere really to put a suitcase to live out of. It was somewhere to sleep and shower. Digital alarm clock that needed to be reset every time I left the room because removing the key from the holder switched off the electricity. Had to unplug the TV to be able to plug in my phone charger - shortage of plug sockets.

On arrival reception was poorly staffed. The rest of the ground floor was a building site. 24 hour Reception but when I returned to my room at 21:30 it was not staffed. Ran a bath and realised there were no towels in my room. It was now 22:00, no one answered phone in Reception so it was still not staffed. Visited Reception, not staffed, phone off the hook. Walked into the building site (breakfast room) no one, walked through door near Reception which I took to be staff, called and knocked on doors....nothing! Went back through to Reception, no bell to push and noted phone was off the hook. Walked behind Reception desk, took a piece of paper from fax and wrote a note requesting towels. Looked up and saw a young man glowering at me through a glass door. He was surly and asked me why I was behind the desk, he must have asked me this 6 times and each time I told him, I had no towels, reception was not staffed, no one answered the phone because it was off the hook, I had paid for my room, I had been travelling since 08:00 that morning. He said there had been a fire alarm and I told him I didn't believe him and why would he take the phone off the hook if there was. He suddenly seemed to realise that I was not going to back down and told me he would be with me in a few seconds. I returned to my room and he turned up with the towels a few minutes later. The room was neat and tidy but like a passage and so tiny I felt I was in a cell. Because there was no breakfast room my breakfast was brought by room service, I asked for it at 08:00 and it arrived about 08:05. So glad that had only booked in for one night, couldn't get out of this hotel fast enough! Would NOT recommend.

Employees were not competent and willing to help.Rooms were incredibly small and freezing.They took out the TV from the rooms and did not even apologize.They forgot to clean the room and to make the bed.Service was inaccurate (i.e. sometimes they forgot to put towels or toilet paper in the room, one day they ran out of milk at breakfast). I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Good price including breakfast and all taxes. Breakfast was basic; cereal, tea, juice, meats & bread. Room was incredibly small but only 1 traveling so, it was sufficient enough. Staff was helpful and kind regarding the endless questions I had. Parking is expensive. Overall a positive experience

HOTEL CON CAMERE ESTREMAMENTE PICCOLE E NON DEL TROPPO PULITE: LA PRESENZA DEL BAGNO-DOCCIA PRIVATO COMUNQUE , AD UN PREZZO NON TROPPO ESAGERATO PER ESSERE AD AMSTERDAM, NE FANNO UN HOTEL CON UN RAPPORTO QUALITA'-PREZZO MEDIO . LA COLAZIONE A BUFFET INCLUSA NEL PREZZO NON ERA MALE E LA POSIZIONE PER RAGGIUNGERE IL CENTRO CITTA' DI AMSTERDAM ERA OTTIMA (CIRCA 20 MINUTI O POCO PIU' DI TRAM) IN CONCLUSIONE DIREI CHE PER UN FINE SETTIMANA L'HOTEL E' IDEALE PER CHI NON VUOLE SPENDERE TROPPO (SI POTREBBE COMUNQUE VEDERE ALTRE SOLUZIONI MIGLIORI ANCHE SE CON QUALCHE EURO IN PIU').
