Rho Hotel  

Very central location on the edge of Dam Square with friendly staff

Stayed in a very tired attic room that would not suit anyone tall as we had sloping beams throughout giving restricted head height. The shower was over a slippy bath with a broken shower rail which came apart when you moved the curtain. All in all having taken approx 2 city breaks a year for the last 6 years this was definitely the worst room we have stayed in and would not use this hotel again as Amsterdam is such a walkable city I would advise anyone to move slightly further out to get better quality and value as the price of this hotel reflects its location rather than its standard of accommodation .

Although the rooms were small for what we paid, the breakfast made up for it. We had a lovely varied breakfast in a very pleasant room. The rooms were cleaned daily and the bathroom was big enough for two but the bed was too small for two adults and there was'nt enough room to move around freely, we kept having to dodge each other. The staff were very professional and very helpful with lots of good advice and information about the city. We had a lovely time and the Rho is so central for most of the attractions.

The Hotel Rho could not be more central in Amsterdam. One of our worries about hotels are if they are clean, If anyone has the same problem they will have no worries with this hotel it is spotless. The staff is so helpful nothing is a problem with them. I enjoyed the breakfast. I would certainly return and advise my friends to visit Thank you all.

The location was fantastic. Right in the heart of the city. Breakfast was wonderful! The staff was helpful. Having unlimited internet access is a plus when trying to balance business and pleasure.

The accomodations were not as "comfortable" as pictured or described. The carpeting is industrial, the bedding very basic, the furnishings minimal and the floors in the halls and rooms are ramped in very peculiar and unidentified ways. Overall a basic and convenient hotel, but not for a special occasion.

The location was excellent - right on Dam Square, and only minutes walk to most of the attractions of Amsterdam, and a short cab ride to Centraal Station. There was also a tram stop located very close by which allowed easy transport to attractions a bit further away. Also, the room was quite spacious and the bed was comfortable.

The decor in the room was quite outdated, and we had some mould growing in our shower.

Rooms were big and comfortable and clean.

Due to it's close location to dam square it was very noisy. The building is old so windows are thin so you can hear every little noise outside. It has got to be the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Not really a fault of the hotel but they should let people know.

The location was fantastic, right beside Dam Square. It was clean and very quiet. But I think full marks has to to the reception staff, absolutely brilliant, very helpfull, polite, and very funny..... Especially the blonde guy. I'm defiantly going back to the Rho in April!

Nothing at all...... Very happy!

Free WiFi, Free breakfast, close to trams, close to train station, not far from museums, comfortable place. I hate big chain hotels and try to stay in cost effective, low key places that are still comfortable. The Rho fit that very well.

Tiny package of shampoo. Be sure to bring your own.

All main attractions within walking distance of hotel. Staff very helful, friendly and proffessional. Breakfast substantial & covered all tastes with a generous 7-10:30am time window. Recomended

Room a little small, the only lift was slow.

The Rho Hotel is just off Dam Square in Amsterdam, and it is within an easy walk to the trains and many attractions. But is on the edge of the The room was clean and relatively modern. There were many outlets, and a large safe (free to use) that could hold my computer case and computer easily. There was also a refrigerator, and television. The hotel had a lift to go between floors, and the lift was large enough to accommodate several people and bags. The breakfast, held in a side room with an oriental theme, was fairly good with eggs, bacon and fruits in addition to sliced meats and cheese. The hotel has a business centre open all the time, with 2 computers and a printer, so it was possible to print my boarding passes. The staff were helpful with suggestions on good places to eat in the area.

The room (a single) was very small and tucked in the eaves of the top floor. My main complaint is that the hotel location is great, but it is very noisy, even from the 4th floor. It was hot in Amsterdam when I visited, and I had to have my only window, a skylight, open to allow any cooling. Sirens, heated arguments in the street, and kitchen/crowd/patron noise from bars below went on most of the night. Between the heat and the noise, I slept little. Maybe it would be better when the weather was less favorable to late night carousing. The bath was unusual in that it all was tiled and the shower was right next to the toilet, and with a sloping ceiling so it was impossible to be far enough to avoid having water from the shower get everything wet. Sort of like being on a sailboat, I guess, but it meant that bathroom activities had to be planned. I heard from another that his room (in another hotel) had this feature, too, so maybe it is common. The hotel breakfast was only available from 700 to 1030. I had to leave before 700 and asked (as the hotel instructions said) about an early breakfast, but that was not possible.

I stay at the hotel on a regular basis, as Amsterdam is a stopover on the way to work in Asia . Situation of the hotel is excellent , within walking distance of all the major attractions in Amsterdam, which includes Central station which is convenient for the Airport. My tip would be to book well in advance as sometimes I have been unable to book a room, especially in the summer months, which obviously reflects the hotel's popularity.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent.

The room was very small with limited storage. It would be a problem for an extended stay. Also, the street was somewhat noisy and we had some difficulty sleeping.

The location was absolutely incredible, close to everything!

The hotel was really great in every way and the only negative I could say was that there are a few rooms that don't have Wifi connection so you have to ask before.
