Hotel Allure

My experience at the Allure hotel in Amsterdam was overall quite unfortunate. From the moment we arrived, we were informed that the elevator was not working, which forced us to carry our heavy suitcases up uncomfortable stairs. Despite staying there for four days, the elevator was never repaired. Upon entering the room, we found a huge spider on the wall. We immediately informed the reception and the receptionist eliminated it with a vacuum cleaner. However, when we were about to go to bed, we noticed that the sheets and pillows were dirty. Although they were changed, we felt uncomfortable and skeptical. The next day, upon returning to our room, we found another spider on the ceiling. This time, the spider hid in the lamp and the hotel staff did not provide us with any solution. We slept that night with the spider as our companion. In addition to these problems, the room had a red carpet and a generally dirty appearance. There was also a hole in the wall. It is frustrating to me that despite paying a considerable amount for the room, no measures were taken to solve the problems that arose. I understand that unforeseen issues can arise, but my annoyance lies in the fact that nobody cared to try and solve the problems and provide us with a satisfactory experience. Frankly, I expected better service and a room that matched the qualities offered in a hotel of this level.

Great location! Close to the main attractions but also in a quiet neighborhood. You can either walk to the center of the city or take the tram or metro just a few short stops. Rooms are small and older but clean and perfect for a weekend trip.

The reseptionist who met us had a bit of an attitude, not the best welcome. The room was ok, but it's not new and fresh. Cleaning could be better, there was hairs in the shower and dirt in the shelves in the dressers. Rooms are not soundproof, but the bed was comfortable and we slept well. Very close to metro station, so easly acessible to/from the central station.

Lovely hotel, needed a hotel urgently after cancelled flight - accommodation was clean and comfortable! Close to where we wanted to be! Check in and check out was quick and had no issue at all! They where happy to hold luggage for us too

A cute little hotel with very friendly and helpful personnel. Our room in the attic was very hot because the weather was form and there was no fan in the room. The trams outside were a little bit noisy but that was not a problem for us. We felt very safe in the area.

Amazing location. Very close to grocery, coffee shops, metro and pharmacy. Staff was very friendly and a warm greeting. I wish I would have read closer and realized there was no AC. The room had a wall mounted fan and came with another portable one. We stayed in June so the room had to have the window open every night and the street is busy. Didn’t sleep well any of the 4 nights. The breakfast is not worth the price. The cook was fighting a cold and we could hear him sniffing, snorting and coughing while we were eating. The fans helped but I ended up having to pull them apart and clean them myself as they were very dusty and dirty. Room is quite small along with the shower. I kept bumping in to the handle and changing the water temperature; almost burnt myself quite badly. Decent if you’re on a tight budget.

The area is attractive in itself and at a walkable distance from central sights

Not the best. Pretty bare bones. The good: The staff were nice, the area felt safe, there were usb plugs, anything wipeable and launderable was clean. The bad: broken pole in closet so couldn’t hang anything, my door wouldn’t consistently lock behind me, noisy from the outside trams, dirty looking carpet, no amenities. If you are looking for cheaper and bare bones, this works, but I personally wouldn’t stay again.

Friendly staff, comfortable beds and lovely architecture in the area
