Hotel Rho - Amsterdam

Really noisy. The breakfast is awfull, especially the service.

Very friendly staff; the information they provided us with proved to be accurate and useful. Thank you!

Truly excellent hotel, great service, rooms are very nice. Staff is very friendly and the location is absolutely the best for Amsterdam. I will certainly recommend it to my friends and other travellers.

Excellent hotel in the center of Amsterdam. Easy access for sightseeing, shopping and dining. Breakfast was excellent. I appreciate the ease of the commute from Schiphol and the short easy stroll from Centraal Station to the Rho. The only trade off is you will have more street noise, but being in the center of everything this is to be expected! This was my second stay in the hotel and I certainly look forward to my next visit.

Rooms in the front suffer from traible noises from the street. We couldn't sleap!!!. Rooms in the back are prefect.

The Hotel is located where central in Amsterdam; the rooms are nice and quiet, some are small, but still had enough space. Breakfast is good. Only the bathroom was very old and should be redecorated. Rooms are in general very expensive in Amsterdam and I think this one too, but we had a good time there.

We were upgraded to a suite which made our stay even more enjoyable. Great hotel, very central and the breakfast was good. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Only down point was the number of stairs up to our room, but this seems to be fairly normal for Amsterdam.

Excellent location with nearby transport to all parts of town. Very accommodating staff.

Excellent location, although it's about 15 minute walk, not 5 minutes as it says on the web, from the station if you allow for crossing roads and luggage. We requested a quiet room and that's what we got, but it was very small and had an annoying pillar right next to the bed. The public rooms are smart but it's a bit shabby after that. Breakfast was very good.

I travelled with a friend and had a lovely stay. Breakfast was fantastic!The Hotel is right in the Center of Amsterdam.

Rooms are very small. toilet was very stuffy and of a stuffy odour. anyone could walk in from the street and give a room number and get the key without providing id or proof you were staying there

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Rho. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel had a real charm about it, the rooms were basic but very clean, excellent breakfast. The only negative point was the lack of tea/coffee facilities in the rooms, drinks machines are available in recepetion but unfortunately out of order for a while during our visit. To sum it up - can't wait to come back! :)

RHO hotel's location couldn't be better. Numerous dining choices right around the corner offering virtually everything. Rooms are very spartan, however, by USA standards. Not even up to Holiday Inn standards. More like Motel 6 decor. Free breakfast excellent. Tram stop right across Dam Sq. Staff at front desk is excellent. Tip: Bring your own wash cloth/soap and 220 volt converter for razors!

Hotel Rho is a nice place to stay in Amsterdam, situated in the centre of the city. All important locations to see as museums, grachten etc. can easily be visited by tram or even by walking. The hotel itself is clean (except the one wash-basin in one room), quite and with a really comprehensive continental breakfast. The staff is very kind and act helpfully if you have any question (one young lady did not look to be very motivated). - For another stay in Amsterdam, we would choose the hotel Rho again.

The best thing of this hotel was definitely the staff. Besides, breakfast is delicious and location, perfect.

Very central location, 1 minute from Dam Square. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Recommended.

A little noisy and a little pricey. I guess you pay for the superb location. Very friendly and attentive staff.

We stayed as a group in one twin and one triple the hotel was very clean and staff polite very good breakfast

An older hotel, but located nice and central for walking, shopping, restaurants, etc. in Amsterdam and easy to get to from Central Station after a short train trip from Schiphol airport. Rooms were clean enough and for the room I had large enough for my needs which were a small work space and a place to sleep after a long day on a plane. There was a bit of noise from the back alley, but then there are bars close by and that's to be expected. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Breakfast was very good and there was nothing lacking. The free wireless was also a bonus. As I travel back and forth from Canada to Cyprus for work I fully expect to pass through Amsterdam again and I would stay here without hesitation.

Excellent location, spacious rooms, very nice staff. I'd gladly stay at this hotel again.

The attitude and espirit of service of the staff is great. They were always friendly and courteous. Location is outstanding although this means that the area is also somewhat noisy. Breakfast was very good. Travelling with my wife and daughter. I have no grounds to recommend this Hotel to any other group but those marked.

Very good location but the rooms are a bit small and you have to walk through a maze to get there, the bathroom was not very clean, breakfast was good, staff were helpful and efficient, a bit expensive for its quality/size of the room we stayed in,

A true three-star, in an excellent location. Staff are fully competent, a bit reserved, but on a pair of occasions the front desk volunteered extra effort, which I appreciated. The breakfast offered good variety and was quite substantial. Coffee was fresh and quite good.

The beds are very soft and 2 people have a hard time not rolling into the middle. We changed rooms for the second night, hoping it would be a better bed. It was about the same with a much smaller room. We probably should have some money credited for the move down in size. Staff was very accomadating about it. As the only purpose for choosing this property was for sleeping conveniently located, half of that was successfully achieved.Location was very handy for walking everywhere. Breakfast was good.

The position is excellent(the hotel is practically in Dam square) to visit the city in few days. Hearty and good breakfast.

Myself, partner cousin and her boyfriend stayed in the RHO and from the moment we arrived were were impressed. The staff on reception booked us in without any fuss and made us very welcoming. The rooms were excellent and very clean. We had free internet access and the use of a printer as well as iron and board. The breakfast was excellent as well. Defo stay there again.

Excellent location. Some side road noise at night.

The hotel is located right next to Dam square , which is a large and busy tourist attraction. However, tram stops are nearby and it is very convenient and easy to move away from the busy city center and out into the outer canal rings. We enjoyed the great location but not the crowds surrounding it. The room was very basic and did not provide any extra comforts, but it was clean and spacious, including the bathroom. One warning, due to squeaky floor boards we could hear all the movements of the people above us.

We were really impressed by all the staff of your hotel. They were very helpful and made our stay very happy and pleasant. Just because of their advice, we were able to take all the tours and see all the places we wanted to see.

Our review may sound too good to be true. But we three "girls" almost 70 years old enjoyed our stay in Amsterdam in full not least thanks to our stay at Rho. Three good beds, not two plus one extra, like we many times have experienced, excellent breakfast with good coffee, location perfect in walking distance from everything. Staff helpful and friendly. Everything very clean. Nice public areas. we will certainly recomend it.

I have travelled with my sister ans my friend. The hotel is placed in the town center, but it is quiet. The rooms are very spacious. There is a good relationship between quality and price. I will recommend it.

The staff are very efficient and friendly. We really enjoyed breakfast and the dining room is pleasant. The beds are comfortable and the room was nice and warm. Our stay was only spoiled on our third night by having neighbours who talked during the night.The partition walls are very thin so this prevented me from going to sleep. I think you need to consider soundproofing the rooms better.

Bathroom disappointing: basin tap worn out and difficult to control flow and temperature, same problem with ancient shower mixer tap, which was not thermostatic. Pillows lumpy (foam chips) and no drawers in room. Could have hoped for something better value in these respects but otherwise a good place to stay if you don't mind identical breakfast every day.

Excellent location, very clean, staff very friendly and helpful.

Hotel Rho is perfrectly situated in the heart of old Amsterdam. My room, though a bit updated was very large as well as the bathroom. I would definitely go there again

Friendly staff, brilliant location, and excellent value for money. The breakfast included in the price is very good, and the breakfast room large and pleasant. This hotel is right in the middle of things without being noisy.

It was a very good hotel and the breakfast was great, but the room was too hot, it seemed a sauna room!

Very wel situated in the city

Excellent central location, one tram stop from Central Station, right on Dam Square. If you want a quiet room, ask for one facing the inner courtyard. Fair three-star quality.

Very clean, tidy, quite hotel in perfect location for visiting amsterdam (we had a three days walking time, didn't buy any ticket for bus or tram!). good, varied and abundant breakfast. a little impersonal the "layout" and furniture, but it happens in anyplace if you don't want to go and stay in bed and breakfast.

I loved this hotel!!! It was great! And Venere had a great price and very easy booking process!! Thanks so much! Will def. keep you bookmarked! Chris

Staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the location was perfect - right near the square but far enough away to not be bothered by noise or anything. Highly recommend this hotel and I'd stay there again in an instant!

I'm in my 60's and I was very nervous about traveling by myself to Amsterdam. The hotel was an easy walk from the train station and very central to everything I wanted to see. I felt safe and would stay there again.

Breakfast was very good.

The quoted price was honored. Upon check in we discovered that there had been a substantial price increase and were charged the original quoted price. I have used Venere many times and have found my experiences to be as promised or even better.

I encountered just two problems: scanty breakfast and chinks in a window frame. Not advisable for staying in winter.

We were in a triple room. It was large enough, and clean. True to the pictures and what was expected. Reception was very friendly and we rented bikes at the hotel both days. Good central location and walking distance to nightlife.

I stayed for 3 days. Hotel was ok only the room haven't got conditioning so it was hot!!!!! wonderfull location

Rooms have no air conditioning so can be very hot. There was a large desk fan in each room which need to be on all night. Rooms reasonably quite with some street noise but the hotel is adjacent to dam squar so it not suprising. Breakfast was very good. Reception Staff very attentive

The RHO hotel in Amsterdam is great! Large rooms, nice and very friendly and helpful staff. But most of all I was satisfied with the location of the hotel - it's situated just in the city centre! I'd recommend this hotel to my friends and will look forward to coming back again!

The hotel Rho is well settled. Our room is big and the bathroom is new and clean but we have to be very carefull when taking shower in order to keep the bathroom dry.There is a little wall between those areas. During the summer time, I think this room will be hot because there is no AC system. Breakfast is well served and with a great variety.

Although slightly too near the busy Dam square for our liking, the hotel is surrounded by quiet side streets where there are many shops and cafes. Very central location. Loved the atrium! We ate most of our meals in the Leidesplein.

A very pleasant hotel within easy walking distance of the station, docks and many tourist attractions. The art nouveau ceiling in the lounge is stunning. The breakfast room was nicely furnished and welcoming. The food was of a high standard.

In general very pleasant stay, excelent location, good staff at the reception, rich breakfast. Not good service - cleaning ladies always tried to get us out too early (9 in the morning)

Good 3* hotel with an attractive atrium hall reception giving more character than the average comparable hotel. Centrally located. No problems encountered.

Excellent hotel with a perfect position in the centre of Amsterdam, just on Dam square. Really close to many restaurants and public transportation. Good and clean district of Amsterdam. Wonderful breakfast and free wifi in all rooms.

Great location, good rooms,good breakfast with GREAT coffee. have stayed there 20+ times in 10+ years... and the coffee alone, is worth the trip lol. And...it is one of the best locations in the town with access to everything!! BUT watch out for the garage fee... inflated over the last year.

Rho is a fair value for money. Very good location, good price, good breakfast.

The minibar was empty and no one took interest to ask the things are ok at the room. Service needs to be improved even considering that the staff are not so busy at off peak season of september. Staff need to be pro-active to ask the customers about the needs and need nots.

Rooms are OK. Walls are thin and you can hear the noice from the hallway and other side of the room. Very Good Location though and you are just few steps away from the Dam Square, Shopping Area. Breakfast is nice and very good choices.

Squallido; da evitare

OTTIMO HOTEL, SERVIZIO E CORTESIA OTTIME. STANZE SILENZIOSE E PULITE. NEO: E' STATO PRETESO IL PAGAMENTO IN ANTICIPO.

Extremely convenient for Dam Square. Very good breakfast. Place a little oldfashioned but very comfortable. For Amsterdam seems to be good value for money and I would definitely stay there in the unlikely event of returning to Amsterdam

Trés bien; consieller

Hotel con una posizione ottima e con colazione abbondante e varia. Se dovessi tornare ad Amsterdam, saprei dove andare

Posizione eccellente per visitare la città. Colazione buona. Stanze piccole e vetuste. Per un weekend va bene.

Been to Amsterdam many times and always stayed in this hotel. Have looked at many others but always come back to this one for the following reasons: The location (Just off Dam Square) is fantastic,breakfast is excellent and included in the price as is city tax,the staff are always welcoming,free in room safe, and best of all,we usually arive about 10am and they let you check into your room straight away.Don't get me wrong,it's nothing flash but it does the job and is exceptional value for a city centre hotel.

Das Hotel hat unseren Erwartungen entsprochen. Das Zimmer war ungewöhnlich groß. Die Leute an der Rezeption sehr freundlich. Das Frühstücksbuffet war riesig. Die zentrale Lage ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wenn wir wieder diese Stadt besuchen, würde wir wieder dieses Hotel wählen.

We love staying at rho.e bring all of or guests to stay there as well.We love that we can check in when we arrive,since our flight comes in at 8 a.m. We love the free internet access.the staff is great,We absoultly love the breakfast...it is always a great experience.

Buona qualità prezzo,stanze spaziose(la tripla era addirittura soppalcata)e molto pulite,ogni giorno passava la ragazza.asciugamani puliti ogni giorno,frigo e cassaforte in camera.posto centralissimo davanti a piazza dam all'incrocio tra strada che porta in stazione e quella che porta nella zona rossa.meraviglioso!!! unico neo la colazione,niente di chè. gentili gli impiegati,si può lasciare il bagaglio in uno stanzino sia il giorno di arrivo che quello di partenza.molto comodo. coppia di sposi+3 amici

L'ALBERGO E' PERFETTO. AVEVAMO UNA TRIPLA SPAZIOSISSIMA E CI HANNO DATO GRATUITAMENTE ANCHE IL LETTINO AGGIUNTIVO PER IL PICCOLO. UNICO NEO DELLA STANZA ERA UN SCALETTA(PERICOLOSA PER I BAMBINI) CHE DIVIDEVA IL LIVELLO CON IL LETTO MATRIMONIALE DAL LIVELLO CON IL LETTO SINGOLO.IL PERSONALE E' GENTILE,SIMPATICO E DISPONIBILE.L'HOTEL E' CENTRALISSIMO(ACCANTO A PIAZZA DAM)E DA LI SI ARRIVA IN POCO TEMPO OVUNQUE. UN ESPERIENZA DA RIPETERE

I will repeat in the same hotel for sure...! Strong points: 1) Its location. The hotel is near the Centraal Station, where the buses and the trains arrive (tickets are bought into the same buses, including the ones that bring you to closer cities, I dunno how the train system works). It's also near everywhere, so you can walk from there to any point you wish (don't forget the Red District and the Market of Flowers). 2) Its breakfast. It was just impressing, with tones of food (different cheeses, ham, smoked salmon, eggs, bacon, delicious rice with veggies, pancakes with sirup, different breads, toasts, pastries, different cornflakes, fresh fruit, different milks, coffee, teas, etc.) incredibly well cooked. You can perfectly do the breakfast and the lunch in 1 round, if your stomach is big enough...! Open from 7.00am to 10.30am. Weak points: 1) Its staff. Waiters are marvelous, always serving you without the need of calling them... but the ppl in the reception are not so efficient (don't try to ask how the bus service of Amsterdam works, they didn't know it, even with a lot of tourists asking for the same every day). 2) Its bikes' renting service. It costs 12 euros per day and you get an old bike with problems. Better chose the McBike or the Yellow Bike services (both are nice companies with good prices, including an insurance in case of robbery we didn't get with our hotel, even paying more than the standard fare).

Ottima posizione (praticamente in casa della regina!), camere pulite e personale gentile. straconsigliato

The room we had was spacious and clean but didnt appreciate entering our room to find cleaner in.(FIRST NIGHT)it was central and really easy to find.You dont need a taxi from train station if you can walk as its only 15 mins.You do need to take a travel kettle though if you like a bew in a morning.They dont do tea ,coffe like us brits do!Breakfast was a bit pants as well,cold it was.Overall i would stay again but you know its amsterdam!

Bad, this time ! Awful little room. But breakfast buffet was OK.

All rooms in Amsterdam are small - it's a small city! The Rho has recently been refurbished - the rooms are clean and well looked after. The reception staff are a joy to deal with,, they know everything! They are amusing and utterly professional. This break to Amsterdam was the best short break we have ever had. So much so that we'll be back January, May and September 2009!

The Rho hotel is not worth the money. There was very bad mould in the bathroom, the pillows were very lumpy and falling to bits, the blankets were torn. We had to chase the maid every day for toilet rolls, towels and tooth mugs. The noise outside was bad although this is down to druggies. You look onto another building and therefore have to keep the curtains closed, this was in room 228. The breakfast is grim, yes loads of choice but the scrambled eggs could bounce to the moon and back. The breakfast staff have a bad attitude, never smile and could not care less. When the eggs are refrshed they are thrown into the hopper from a distance. The bacon is overcooked, the coffee is awful but hot.They do not clear used plates away until you leave. The dishcloth they wipe the tables with is grey and filthy. I would rate this hotel a 2 star if not less, however the reception staff are pleasant, the location is great, right in the centre. The lobby is impressive. The maid is not quite with it. Our room had stuff spilt on the skirting bord by the bed, looked like tea, still there one week later....disgusting, there were stains on the bedspread. The room looked clean on entering but was far from it. I always take anti-bac wipes but why should I have to. The wet room reminded me of a butchers slab, the shower was hot one minute and cold the next. In all not a nice experience. The Dutch are not known for their hygiene standards, I may be wrong but I failed to find a good hotel with good reviews, maybe this is AMSTERAM. I do know that I would never return to the Rho Hotel. Hope this helps.

Unico pregio la posizione...bagno indecente... stanza rumorosa... mai più

Relació qualitat preu molt bona. Excelentment situat i molt ben comunicat. A diues pases del Districte Roig a peu, tocant a la plaça Dam i a deu minuts a peu de l'Estació Central. Esmorçar sense grans pretensions, però abundant i ben fet (suc de taronja natural). El recomano.

Hotel centralissimo ma rappoto qualità-prezzo appena sufficiente. le stanze + piccole delle foto.

Le camere sono piccole, le finestre affacciano su un pozzo luce, la moquette è vecchia e puzzolente la luce in camera è piuttosto scarsa il frigobar non funziona. Il prezzo è decisamente alto io non ho avuto altre scelte perchè mi serviva il parcheggio privato ma non ci ritornerei. La colazione in compenso era ottima

The breakfast was excellent. The people at the reception desk were very kind.

Very good location, very central. Bit of trouble checking in as they had got my bookings confused. Shame there was no hotel bar and I didn't like the fact that we had to pay upfront. But in general a good hotel

Nice hotel with excellent location for those that like to be close to the action (day and night). Neighbor of Madame Tussaud Museum and many monuments / historical sites, With 10min walking distance of the Central Station (direct train from Schiphol) you dont need a taxi to get there unless you are loaded with luggage. Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein are also 10min away by foot. RLD is 5 min away for those who like. But take care with the rooms! Initially I was given a room in the 1st floor in the street side that was very noisy and could almost be reached by the pedestrians making me feel quite insecure. But luckily I could be moved to one in the 4th floor facing a internal area that was very silent and then all was OK.

The RHO was great. The room was clean (a little small, but that's Amsterdam). The staff was friendly. There was free internet and a computer. Breakfast was excellent, and it was included in the room price. When I checked in, it was still quite early in the morning, but my room was ready and they let me have breakfast too! That was very nice of them, I thought. I only gave a 5 on quietness because with the window open, you could hear everything going on in other open-windowed rooms... including the group of 3-4 guys that were chatting all freaking night long with each other. It all went away when I closed my window, and luckily it was already cool enough. If quietness is your #1 concern, I don't recommend Amsterdam at all (regardless of the hotel you stay in... haha).

A double room literally meant a double bed. All of our other European doubles at least meant a Queen-size bead. The bed was very small. We would have paid more for a larger bed had we known.

Generally,I think that this hotel was good.

Very good location.

The hotel location is perfect! it's just behind Dam Square and a good point of start for visiting the city! we were highly satisfied of this choice!

The hotel has excellent location but here most of the good part ends. Breakfast was repeatative, not much choice in menu.Rooms were small. Heaters were normally put off, hence time taken to heat up the room. Rooms had no view. Sometimes no running water in tap. Overall poor value for money except the location.

Excelent place to start a day or night :-) in Amsterdam. A very good breakfast and best location: The Dam. A classic city hotel for everybody. You get a small fridge minibar style, a safe box big enough for almost every electronic device you own and free internet wifi. Very recommended for its amenities especially in comparison to the competition.

The comments regarding Hotel Rho were spot on. The rooms are small but cozy and clean. The location is perfect; in the centre of everything and within easy walking distance of the train station. The price/value is excellent since the room rate also includes breakfast which was better than average. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others who put cleanliness, location and price as the 3 most important factors when deciding on a hotel.

Overall good experience, rooms are somewhat small but nice, can easily hear other guests passing in the hall but otherwise was quiet. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Nothing great but a good deal for the price and centrally located. Some shady characters congregate on the nearby corner but I had no problems.

My first time at Rho. Corridors and room were dark, lighting poor. Room was drabber than shown in the photo, but large. Good location in centre, but quite a long walk over cobbles from train station.

Muy buen trato y una ubicacion muy buena, lo recominedo a todo el mundo,por supuesto si voy otra vez a Amsterdam voy a l'hotel Rho!!!

Great location, near Dam Square, and main street leading into Red Light District. Plenty of Bars,Resteraunts and Coffee Shops nearby. We stayed for 2 days and 1 night and a few of our party stayed for an additional night. I would go back and stay for a few more nights. Excellent breakfast included in price!! Cheers Derek Saxton Alton, Canada

I stayed there last year and think it's fine - just a little noisy at night and sometimes early morning. Was woken up first morning by delivery to the hotel. Brilliant location. Would stay again.

The breakfast was just horrible, especially in view of the price charged. The people at the reception desk were not friendly at all and at a certain moment even aggressive. A chewing gum was attached at the bottom of a chair in my room. Even when is clearly showed this, the chewing gum was not removed. As a whole Amsterdam is overrated and the prices they charge for a hotel room and the food are just unacceptable. Amsterdam should accept that they simply can not compeed with Paris or London and should not charge people as they do.

Excellent central location with easy access to sights, shops and restaurants. It is not on a main road so no cars passing by. Very friendly and helpful staff, our group would all recommend this hotel and we will definitely be staying again.

Very conveniently located. Nice breakfast selections. We enjoyed our stay here. We are both elderly and requested rooms without stairs and were accommocated as requested. Also arrived early and were allowed to store luggage until room was ready.
