An amazing hotel, we really enjoyed our stay and I couldn’t recommend it any more. The check in process was very smooth, we were even offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival. We arrived earlier than check in, however the hotel offered to look after our bags free of charge while we explored which was great. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was very cosy, modern and comfortable, perfect for a city break. The bed was very comfy and the TV had 6 English speaking channels, we also had a drink in the IZAKAYA bar which is attached to the hotel, it was quite expensive with cocktails being around €15 each however you can tell it is an upmarket bar in a trendy area so you can understand the reasons for the prices. The location is great, it’s around a 20 minute walk into the ‘centre’ of Amsterdam, however the area the hotel is in is very trendy and has lots of great shops, restaurants, cafes and even a market, we will definitely be returning to Sir Albert :)

The hotel is in a great location, near the main museums, but not too touristy. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The buffet breakfast is the best hotel breakfast we've ever had and very luxurious; fresh juices, eggs cooked anyway you like, a huge selection of food on offer and very good quality all round. There are a few niggles: The room was cold each night, and we would have to call reception to change it. The towels are too small for a good hotel. The reading light hanging over the bed is far too bright and we could not use it. I also had to ask for a shower cap, as they had forgotten to leave one, and also no cotton wool. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, but one or two seemed a bit impatient and curt.

Even though we live in the region, we decided to spend the night at Sir Albert after we walked along the Amsterdam Light Festival. Upon arrival, the staff explained that valet service was not possible due to the covid-19 measures. Actually, no problem since the spacious public parking garage called AlbertCuyp is a stone's throw from the hotel. This guarded parking garage has many charging points for electric cars by the way. Back at the hotel, a warm welcome by the people at the front desk, where you can sit comfortably while everything is being put in order. Our room was on the 4th floor. A good size room for city standards with a separate shower and toilet and a lovely soft, comfortable bed. The room was well furnished, including a desk, coffee maker, as well as a steam iron, and an excellent hairdryer. We had booked an extra room for the evening for a small fee which was turned into a small living room with a dining table where it was possible to have dinner delivered from Izakaya restaurant. Breakfast could be ordered by phone in the morning. The service was very friendly and fast. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the omelet was delicious, as were the various pastries. In summary, lovely hotel, a great room, and all the staff are professional, passionate, and friendly.
