Welcome in the vivid “Quartier Latin” of Amsterdam.
Great diversity
“Alexander's” location 1, Gerard Doustraat/ Ruijsdaelkade is situated in the old southern part of the centre of Amsterdam called “Oud-Zuid / de Pijp”. Located very centrally between the old centre, the western, the eastern and new southern part of the city. De Pijp has a nice laid-back atmosphere. Here you can experience Dutch daily life with a multicultural accent. There are a lot of small enterprises.
You are close to all kinds of shopping possibilities: like the most well-known daily market from Holland, the Albert Cuijp market two blocks away, the Hema department store and the more sophisticated shopping streets around Museum Square. A great variety of restaurants and pubs too.

By bicycle you can make a trip along the river Amstel to the village of Ouderkerk in less than an hour or follow the dike north to the village of Durgerdam on the lake IJsselmeer. A visit to Zaanse Schans, the windmill area with clog maker, cheese farm and Zaans Museum is a another nice thing to do (north of Amsterdam: 45 minutes by public transport). Try the Amsterdam nightlife at Leidse Plein Square or Rembrandt Square. In case you are visiting a conference or exhibition: the RAI Centre is near.

It was nice to have a whole apartment and to have cooking equipment.
We were expecting two separate bedrooms when in fact the apartment was all open plan (with a door to pull across ot make it into two "rooms"). this wasn't ideal as we were travelling with our mother-in-law (and to get to the toilet one person had to walk past the other person in bed). we were also charged 4% extra for paying with a credit card, which we weren't expecting (but had to pay as we had no other form of payment). it was more basic than other apartments that we have stayed in before. 26 May 08
Hotel is not far from dam square (centre of town) about 15min nice walk. supermarket just downstairs! We stayed on the 4th floor and had to climb the steepest stairs to reach our room. very small but equipt with everything you need!13 Apr 08
Great location in da costatraat self catering apartment for 2 people, large supermarket across the road and snack bar opposite the building, 20 minutes walk from dam square and the lidesplien area of town, quiet location in a side street, good local transport, tram and bus route into town 20 metres away. No negative comments21 Feb 08
Amazing for the price!! close to the center, comfy clean beds, quiet, will defently stay there againNo smoking rooms, toilets and showers a bit too small, stairs very steep 12 Feb 08
The team at alexanders apartments were awesome, really helpful and honest, thanks for a great stay.10 Feb 08
Simple rooms for nice price (discount included)Appartment very different to website immage.
4e floor, could be very difficult for some people15 Jan 08
It was a great place for our group of friends to crash. it was a bit crowded for 6-7 people, but cozy and we all enjoyed our stay in the city. it was a great location for what we wanted to do--a quiet neighborhood right by the museum district. The incredibly steep stairs were a bit difficult, but added to the charm of the place. the shower was tiny and smelled nasty, but bearable. the directions to get there from the tram weren't great and we spent a while wandering around trying to find the place. 02 Jan 08
We are all enjoyed our time in your apartments and espesially in amsterdam. the room was very good 04 Jan 08
The studio was clean and warm, not so quite. good location.The photo advertised for our studio was nothing like the one we were in. however we enjoyed our stay non the less.25 Nov 07
Heating workedShoebox-sized shower/toilet facilities, dubious wiring, cupboard space unusable as full of junk17 Sep 07
Very clean, big size rooms.Far from the city center19 Sep 07
The guy was really friendly, i arrived two hours earlier than programmed, called the guy and in 15min he was at th apartment handing the key over and going thru everything with a smile.Yes, the building i did not like, it had no reference as to being alex's apartments, nor a doorbell anyone would answer, it is kinda beaten down, there's a tiny staircase as soon as you open the door were you can bearly drag your stuff up...and they chrged me more because i payed with a credit card, that was a surprise, i payed of course, didn't have no where to go...and they mademe sign a deposit voucher for 25 additional euros, wish i hope they will destroy.25 Feb 08
Era muy amplio y acogedor, y la calefacción de uno de los nuestros iba muy bien.En vez de darnos un apartamento para 6 como solicitamos nos dieron dos, por lo cual el grupo quedó separado. y en el otro apartamento no iba el calentador, con lo cual para ducharse venian al nuestro.24 Feb 08
El apartamento es muy cuco y suficiente para cuatro personas, un poco incomodo tener la cocina fuera pero estaba muy completa tenia de todo.Lo unico un poco pesado son las escaleras porque nos toco en el 4º y cuando subes ya no quieres volver a bajar16 Apr 08
Location bien située. espaces vie et nuit spacieux (nous étions 5).Cuisine et salle de bain un peu petits. vaisselle sale à l'arrivée.03 Apr 08
