Hotel Aalders

The staff was helpful, the location was great, the hotel has a lift in case you do not want to use the terrible stairs. The room no. 1, where I stayed was good, comfortable dhe clean.

Nothing. It was all fine.

This was a very pleasant, family-run hotel and I had a most comfortable stay. The family room I had been upgraded to was large, bright (lots of daylight through the tall windows), very well appointed and very clean. Simple decor, with good quality furnishings (incl. very efficient black-out curtains) and plenty of wardrobe space, too. The staff working on the reception desk were all friendly and helpful. Despite being housed in a traditional building, the hotel has a lift, which proved very handy with my large suitcase. The location was perfect for anyone wishing to visit the Rijks, Stedelijk or Van Gogh museums - or indeed wishing to enjoy the gorgeous architecture and many boutiques in this part of the city centre. The hotel is easily reachable by public transport from both the airport and Central Station.

The only downside - and it was a minor one - was the strong smell of bacon from the breakfast room in the morning, but this only affected the hallway (not my room) and did not linger in the evenings.

The staff were lovely and helpful, room was the perfect size and very clean, location was perfect (2 minutes to the tram stop, right next to the museums)

You could hear the guests in other rooms walking around/opening doors quite a lot, also noise from outside; but we came expecting that to some degree because it's an older building.

Very good location

Everything is very small
