Hotel Allure

Pros: Good location. Very near metro. 4 stops from central station. Staff was friendly. Room was warm. Supermarket 2 minute walk. Cons: Check-in was slow. Room was OK but could do with a DEEP clean. Stains on most things. Curtains, bedding, walls etc. Fridge didn't work. There was always something going on in hotel from 9am. Hoovering, banging or drilling. Sleeping on and relaxing was never a option!

My niece and I stayed at the Hotel Allure|April 21-24. |The staff were very nice and the hotel is conveniently located. |BUT, my niece and I discovered that they have had an infestation of bedbugs since 2024, and have not fixed this problem? Absolutely unacceptable and preventable! |Both my niece and I are bitten and now we must clean and disinfect everything in our own homes, plus dealing with the bites. |Do NOT stay at this hotel right now.

I booked the week before a non refundable 2 days reservation. 2 days after I was hospitalised for a serious event. They were informed immediately via booking platform but they missed the mail. 4 days after (the day before of the reservation) I contacted them for an update, they confirmed they didn’t see the original email and asked me to send evidence of the event. This is what I immediately did. They come back to me refusing any kind of refund. I think it’s compliant with the terms and conditions, but it’s a real shame in terms of good faith and customer service. Why asking for evidence if you already know the response is a no? Not recommend this hotel

Have seen some bad reviews recently regarding bed bugs and dirty rooms. I just stayed 3 nights and can’t complain. The rooms were clean on arrival and free of bed bugs ect. The location is ideal, would stay again.

Hotel is fine. Quite small but sizes are advertised. Would recommend this hotel if you plan to spend most of your time exploring.

The affordable lower floor rooms are quiet and comfortable beyond my expectations. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is clean, there is a kettle and TV. There is tea and coffee. I can't comment on this because I didn't have breakfast. hotel staff are courteous and helpful. There is a room where you can leave your luggage after checkout.

I was looking to take my mum to Amsterdam and found this to be just the place for couple of quiet and cosy nights. Room was clean and tidy, I loved that we had our desk and kettle with essentials provided for us. Reception staff was very kind and helpful. We didn't spend much time apart from resting and sleeping and it was a perfect option for us as we explored the (heart of) town that was 30 mins by walk from the hotel. Hotel is affordable compared to other prices that can be found closer to central station, however one of the main canals was 5 mins walk from the hotel which was a pleasure to experience especially in warmer months when you don't have to worry about crazy rain attacks.

My first ever holiday in 37 years and honestly it's been the most wonderful experience. We chose an apartment which was very reasonably priced, the bed was so comfortable best sleep I've had in months. You are able to cook but we mainly ate out. The tram was right around the corner to take you to central station and they were quite regular every 10 minutes but we were happy to walk and explore everywhere. Couldn't check in until 3pm but we were able to leave our bags at the hotel reception and wander the city. Check out was super easy too. We didn't need any extra help so didn't need to ask for extras etc

Fantastic Hotel. easy access to public transit, knowlegable staff, great prices. what more could you ask for? this is the only place ill stay in amsterdam from now on :)

Perfectly nice hotel with no particular personality (disclaimer: I'm a big B&B/Airbnb fan). Clean, well run, in a convenient location about a 30 minute walk or easy transit ride from the central station and heart of Amsterdam. In room refrigerator! The windows can be opened, but it can be noisy at night if other guests are outside drinking and toking up. There are a couple of ground floor rooms in a separate building in the backyard that I liked best. There's a significant extra charge for wifi but they were quite willing to waive it each time I asked. i don't know if they'll always do that, so I suggest requiring it as a condition of booking. On a very pleasant street about a block from transit. We didn't buy the separate breakfast, so can't comment on that. Regarding rates, better to book in advance as they seem to work on a demand pricing basis. We planned on one night, and ended up staying a week. Every day or two when we wanted to extend our stay, the price got higher. By the end we were paying 50% more than at the start. This was not exploitation, just that the price rose as demand increased. Your car is pretty useless inside a large area of Amsterdam, so you may as well park it somewhere. Street parking in all of inner Amsterdam (including near the Allure) is prohibitive, garages very expensive. I street parked two good walks and a short ferry ride away on Asterweg in the nearest free parking zone. No one bothered my car for the whole week it was there. Incidentally, parking illegally for even a short time can be expensive as the city uses a combination of wireless parking machines and license plate scanners to cite violators. You can't tell when you're car is being checked.
