ALP HOTEL, Amsterdam

The hotel is situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood just 600 metres from the Jordaan area. Tram 13 stops right outside, taking you to Amsterdam Central Station in about 10 minutes, while Tram 3 connects to the Museum Quarter. Major museums including the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House are within a 10-15 minute walk. The area is well-served by supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants, with Foodhallen and Moeders nearby. The location scores highly for walkability and public transport, making it easy to explore without a car.

All rooms include a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Some rooms have a balcony overlooking the garden or street, while others feature a spa bath (jacuzzi). Twin beds can be pushed together to form a double. Rooms are compact; some, like the Vasco da Gama, are particularly small for two people. Garden-side rooms are quieter. Not all rooms have air conditioning - fans are provided. The building has steep, winding stairs with no lift, so lower-floor rooms are recommended for those with mobility concerns. Daily housekeeping and complimentary water, apple, and chocolate are provided.

Breakfast is not available at the hotel. However, the lobby provides free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate around the clock. A supermarket (Albert Heijn) is directly across the road, and several cafes and restaurants, including Monks, are within a five-minute walk for breakfast or meals. The staff can provide personalised recommendations for nearby dining options, including vegan-friendly choices. The hotel also has a bar and offers free fruits at reception.

The hotel offers a hot tub/jacuzzi in some rooms - these can be a relaxing option after a day of sightseeing. The garden terrace provides a quiet outdoor space for guests. There is no swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre on site. A Pilates studio (PLTS Reformer Pilates West) is located nearby for those seeking exercise options.
