Hotel Rho - Amsterdam

7.1

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.

6.5

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.

4.2

squallido; da evitare

9.3

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

6.7

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

8.0

Trés bien; consieller

8.2

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

5.9

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

9.9

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.

9.3

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.

8.6

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.

9.8

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

9.3

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

9.7

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).

8.7

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

6.0

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!

4.2

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

9.0

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!

0.9

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.

4.5

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

8.2

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.

6.0

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

4.3

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

9.3

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

6.5

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

7.7

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.

8.6

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).

4.6

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.

6.2

Generally,I think that this hotel was good.

7.4

Very good location.

9.5

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!

5.3

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.

9.2

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.

8.7

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.

8.7

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.

7.0

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.

7.8

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!!!

8.2

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.

4.5

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.

8.2

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.

6.5

Just a problem with the hotel shuttle... i did paid for, but the didn't pick us up to the airport; i had to take a taxi to be on time !!!

9.5

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.

9.1

Great location and a good hotel for the money.

7.1

everything was good except the sound !! I heard my neighbours when they were doing everything, even early in the morning

8.8

It's great to be able to stay in a decent hotel so close to Dam. I am totally happy with the service provided

9.7

This hotel was the best during my Europe trip. Breakfast selection was good. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Amenities around the hotel are good. But be sure to ask for a room near the lifts and withour stairs, or you'll have to drag your heavy bags! Overall, my stay there was great!! Will definitely return!!!!

7.4

Further from train than anticipated or stated. Take the tram!!!! It's cheap and worth it. Breakfast is FABULOUS!!! Staff is very helpful with tips for getting around. Had to change rooms since the a/c did not work in the first room. be prepared to climb some stairs since the elevator does not go to all levels. Would prefer a canal location next time.

4.6

Excellent central city location. Very basic hotel. Rooms were very spartan

6.0

Excellent staff, excellent location, hum drum sort of rooms... edible breakfast! Great place really, just don't expect anything too posh. Ideal mid range hotel for a partyish weekend......

4.3

Une chambre d'une banalité navrante, à la moquette usée, une salle de bains minuscule avec de l'eau chaude intermittente, pas de chaîne de télévision française (américaine, anglaise, allemande ...), des employés peu aimables et aucun ne parle un mot de français...Ce n'est pas digne d'un 4 étoiles !!!

6.5

After checking in our original room was tiny and located in a small attic space with only a wet room. This was a ridiculously small room for 2 people especially with a slopeing ceiling. We requested a change of room, the staff were very helpful and we were moved to a much bigger room with bathroom however this had to be a twin not a double and it was also a smoking room as there was nothing else available. Overall we would say that the hotel was a little 'tired' looking and needed some attention. We also feel you should be able to book what type of en suite you want and the very small bedrooms should be shown on the website pictures. The breakfast room staff were fairly miserable but the reception staff very helpful and friendly.

8.3

Very nice staff, great place. Perfect for younger people - very central and therefore not very quiet.

7.7

The location is perfect, ideal for a short stay in Amsterdam. The hotel is good although the rooms are a little noisy, the floors are very squeky. Having breakfast included is a real bonus because it set you up for the days sightseeing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

7.1

I booked a twin room but got a double room instead. Not a big problem anyway ;-)The room was quite small but clean; the hotel is perfectly located (only 5 minutes by walking from the Central Station!)and the staff is kind and friendly. I would recommend this hotel... but don't forget to take some ear-plugs with you if you want to sleep ;-)

9.5

The Rho Hotel was located in an excellent location almost off Dam square but well within walking distance of all main attractions,being located in a side street was an advantage as it was quieter,the rooms vairied but if you were located to aroom with windows to the street this was excellent, some rooms were quite small but very clean, the bar in the hotel could have been open later!!! the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. A great location,clean rooms, helpful staff, and a competative room rate,without a doubt would stay there again.

6.7

Found hotel to be very basic. The first room we got was tiny so asked for upgrade but this was not available. But they did offer us a bigger room which we took. It was bigger but still very very basic.

9.1

The Rho is central,well appointed and value for money. Ideal for a short break in Amsterdam.

8.2

Very good hotel, with good facilities and an amazing location in Amsterdam. The breakfeast, included in the price of the room, was awsome. Only problems : rooms are a little noisy (we could hear our neighbours laugh while smocking some pot!), and the cleaning service came to knock at our door at 8:40 the first morning! But it's overall a very good adress.

7.8

It's very well located in order to arrive to all interesting places of the city. It's clean, confortable and good breakfast. Rooms are not exactly the same of the photos but enough for a weekeend. I recomend you the hotel.

5.6

ALLORA, CHE DIRE COME ALBERGO Bè' DIREI CHE E' DAVVERO BEN POSIZIONATO, LA COLAZIONE PUO' ANDARE L'UNICA PECCA, CHE LE CAMERE SONO UN PO' SPORCHE NEL SENSO CAPELLI NEI BAGNI FINESTRA ROTTA COPERTE VECCHIE E UN Pò SPORCHE' , BISOGNA UN PO' FAVORIRE LA SCELTA DELLA POSIZIONE

3.6

There are better hotels available for the same price

9.1

I stayed in the Rho Hotel twice recently. The staff are friendly and the location is perfect for anyone who intends to frequent the Red Light District but doesn't want to actually stay in the RLD. You can use the Rho Hotel's safe central location near the Hotel Krasnapolski just off a major street as a base for seeing all of Amsterdam (including the RLD) without having to worry about street hustlers or walking past porno shops with your kids. The first time I stayed there, the room (132) was very quiet, but the TV was all local without any CNN or BBC. I just thought that was the way it was, so I didn't ask about the it. The second time I stayed, the room (129) was very noisy, but I did have BBC and CNN. If you're going to stay there, by all means ask for a room that does not overlook the alley with the bicycle rental shop. The noise, which woke me up several times during the night, was all from hooligans and street people outside carrying on and arguing through the night. One other good thing. I judge European hotels by their breakfast. Eggs and bacon and/or sausage are a good sign, and I was pleasantly surprised that the Rho serves eggs and (somewhat undercooked) bacon for breakfast despite its quite reasonable price. I'll stay at the Rho next time I visit Amsterdam.

8.9

good quality/price. Close to Dam square.Excellent for weekend in Amsterdam.

7.0

Céntrico, bien situado. A 15 minutillos desde la Centraal Station caminando. Habitaciones correctas, aunque se oía un poco las habitaciones de al lado. Níngún problema ni contratiempo en el hotel y era la primera vez que reservábamos por venere. Si eres español ten en cuenta que toman como referencia el segundo apellido.

8.2

Un excellent rapport qualité/prix pour cet hotel sympathique en plein centre d'Amsterdam (il donne sur la place Dam)et à une station de tram de la gare centrale. Les chambres sont propres, assez agréables bien qu'un peu vieillottes dans la déco, sans nuisances exterieures malgré le fait d'être au centre, les petits déjeuners copieux: bref, une adresse à retenir !

8.6

best location for touring around the city

9.5

To be in the centre of town in an excellent three-star was an absolute plus. We shall most definitely return.

9.9

The Rho is in a great location, 20 seconds from Dam Square, very close to the Damrak, and 1 minute from the red light district. The hotel is welcoming and the staff are very friendly. The only one gripe we would have is that the shower wasn`t very powerful, sometimes going to a mear trickle. Breakfast was plentyful.We would definitely go back to this hotel for future visits to Amsterdam

5.9

The Rho hotel is ideally situated in the middle of Amsterdam only 5 minutes from the main station and 2 minutes from a tram stop. The price is also very reasonable for the location. The downsides are some of the rooms are over looked by offices and it gets very noisy at night and into the early hours.

8.6

The location of the hotel was great, right beside Dam Square, good for access to the station, and to restaurants and bars. Having the name on the top of hotel also helped locate it quickly when walking across the square! Our double room was of a good size, although one of my friends had a single room that was a little compact. Excellent breakfast buffet.

9.3

Don't let the outside and surrondings fool you, great hotel for the price. Staff were very helpful, provided maps and directions on request. Breakfast was more than expected, hot and cold items to choose besides buns... This was our first stop on 5 cities, 4 country tour for 5 audlts and the RHO hotel help make it great... Oh yeah, location was great!

9.8

We were very pleased with this hotel. Rooms were clean, staff was very helpful and it has a great location. We would stay there again.

8.5

Rho is a quality B&B and I highly recommand it to anyone with a family. The service we recived was wonderful and we found the employee very helpful.

9.5

We found this hotel very pleasant. It is centrally situated and the rooms are very good value. The bar is limited so, one night we decided to have a gin and tonic each at the cafe on the corner of Dam Square at the end of Nes Street and it set us back €18. The next night we went along to the other end of Nes Street and turned left and had the same drink in a very pleasant bar for €7.30!

7.9

Perfect position because near the city center and not so noisy during the night. No restriction during the night so you can come back to the hotel when you want.

6.9

The hotel is in a good, central location, and there is a private parking. But the rooms were not very clean, and breakfest was the absolute minimum. I guess you can't expect much more for this price. You should only stay here if you don't want to spend much money.

9.8

I had already come to this hotel two years ago and I will go each time I will travel to Amsterdam

9.3

Very good hotel in the centre, very quiet. The room was really a non smoking room. Good breakfast. They keep your luggage (it's free). The price is very correct for Amsterdam.

3.1

The room was so small we had to duck to reach one side of the bed. A reading lamp was not working and they were unable to replace it, leaving the room with only two sources of light at night time. Very dark room and also the hallways could have used some more lightning.

6.7

Albergo onesto ma senza slanci, ottimamente ubicato. Per pulizia a dimensioni della camera, si attesta ad un livello decente anche se un po' squallido. Per un soggiorno senza pretese.

6.0

A little expensive for what it was. Location however was perfect. Excellent staff

9.0

The Rho is a good value hotel, very conveniently situated on Dam Square. The triple room we stayed in was very spacious. Bathroom was adequate, buffet breakfast was excellent and staff were friendly and willing to help.

7.3

This was very good bargain in Amsterdam in terms of the costs of hotels. It is also in a great location- right at the Dam Square and within walking distance from the Central railway station. The breakfast was very nice- about 10 items in a very nice dining area. This was included in the price. The main foyer is nice looking and historic, but furnishings look beaten. My room was very small for single occupancy, but the bathroom size was OK. The rooms were very clean. The mattress was sagging and needs replacement. Other rooms I saw were bigger (with higher occupancy). My room was very noisy since it was next to the back street. On one night, there were verbal arguments on the street at 3 AM. Most of the main reception staff is polite and friendly, but a few of them are a little curt and not very helpful. The housekeeping staff is excellent.

8.5

From the outside the hotel looks unpromising. However this is an efficient and well run private hotel with a distinctive vestibule and pleasant bar. The room, which was single, had a double bed and was quite roomy by Amsterdam standards. Excellent breakfast included in the very reasonable price.
