Alp HotelEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The small balconies off front-facing rooms at the Alp Hotel serve as a metaphor for the whole establishment: elegant, well-appointed spaces with a first-row seat to the bustle of one of Amsterdam's most dynamic residential neighborhoods.

The Alp was opened in 2008 by two brothers, and they have brought a hip, modern vibe to the place. Eleven rooms, some of the cleanest we've seen in Amsterdam, are painted in a fresh white and lit by chandeliers. Beige beds with red throw pillows sit pretty on wooden floors.

The boldest touch by the hotel's owners: the bathtubs, installed in every bathroom, which are really small jacuzzis. It's hard to find that kind of finesse for €75 a night.

Rooms at the front of the hotel overlook Bilderdijkstraat and De Clercqstraat, an extremely busy intersection. So if you value peace and quiet, opt for a room at the back.
