Safety first
The Albus Hotel Amsterdam is open for our guests. We are constantly monitoring the latest developments for your safety and ours. Our employees are very careful about following the Dutch governments’ regulations regarding COVID-19. We will help you where we can.

These are uncertain times and we are here to help. If there are (travel) restrictions caused by the Covid-19 virus that makes it impossible to stay in our hotel: YOU CAN MODIFY YOUR BOOKING WITHOUT CHARGES IF IT WAS MADE AFTER 10 MARCH AND ARRIVED UNTIL 31 MARCH 2022.
Our normal sales conditions apply to every reservation with arrival after March 31st 2022. You will find the conditions that apply to you in the confirmation that you have received from us or from the travel agent with whom you have booked.

- Have all guests wash their hands upon entering (a hand sanitizing gel).
- Room attendants only enter rooms after the guests have left.
- Thoroughly clean tables, chairs, and menus when guests have left the lounge area.

Kitchen
