The 3-star Rho hotel opened its doors in April 1989. The building was formerly used by an old Amsterdam gold trading company. The beautiful reception and lobby were once a theater, built in 1908 in Art-Deco style. The RHO HOTEL is located in the heart of the old city in a quiet side street, a few steps from the historic DAM square, the central square of Amsterdam, with the Royal Palace and the New Church. The Central Station is about 5 min. walking distance. Shopping and night life is, although its quiet location, all around the hotel. You find the best department stores, the unique MAGNA PLAZA shopping mall, and the long pedestrian shopping street "Kalverstraat" at walking distance. Excursions by bus or by boat are leaving from around the corner. Around the hotel are the canals with their historic houses
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Even though it's not cheap (hotels are expensive in Amsterdam) it's a budget hotel and a very good one for the price. The location can't be beaten. I had booked a single room but was upgraded to a double. Pepe in the reception paid close attention to what kind of rooms my friend and I wanted. My friend asked for a quiet room and got one in the back of the hotel and slept well. I asked for a "noisy room with a street view where I can see some action". Pepe fulfilled my wish very well. From my room I could look at three streets and action wasn't lacking: when I checked the view a famous local race car driver appeared in a sports car with hords of fans and photographers around. There was quite a bit of noise from during the night, which I enjoyed but if you don't like noise you should ask for a quiet room. The room was very basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Clean, very simple bathroom. The lobby, an old theatre, Is quite beautiful but the hotel bar doesn't have much going on. I recommend Bubbles & Wines wine bar one block down the street. The breakfast buffet was much better than I had expected from this rather simple hotel. A fairly good selection except as regards fruit: They had canned fruit sallad. However, I was impressed that there was smoked salmon and freshly squeezed orange juice.

10/10 location within walking distance to every attraction and city centre area, including restaurants and bars for an evening.
10/10 cleanliness, comfortable bedding and helpful staff. I requested quiet rooms when booking and we had really quiet rooms facing out onto an inner quadrant which was great seeing as the hotel is right by the main Dam Square.
9/10 breakfast including hot options, smoked salmon and plenty of tea/coffee/juices to help yourself to.
For the price paid, this is a really good value hotel right in the heart of Amsterdam city centre. There was nothing I didn’t like. There wasn’t a kettle in the room (but I knew that from other reviews) and, although it would have been nice, you can get free tea, coffee and hot chocolate from a self service machine in the hotel lobby. The room has a safe and fridge which were handy though.

Myself & 2 friends stayed at the Rho Hotel in March for 3 nights. The hotel is a 10/15 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal train station so very easy to get to. A train from the airport costs about €5 so it's very simple to get to. Check in at the hotel was easy with a friendly girl on the reception desk. We had booked a triple room, which had 3 single beds and was plenty big enough for the 3 of us. The rooms and the whole hotel is slightly dated as others have mentioned, but it really isn't an issue. There's so much to do in Amsterdam that you won't be spending much time in the room. Our room was looking over an alleyway at the side of the hotel so was nice and quiet. One thing missing from the rooms was an iron, but again this was not essential for us 3 guys! Only complaint I would have is that the walls are very thin so when other people are walking along the corridors or closing doors, you can hear everything and it sounds like they're coming into your room! Breakfast in the morning is a nice touch, it's nothing special but will save you spending €10-€15 euros elsewhere so well worth it. There was scrambled egg, bacon, toast, pastries & fruit each day so it definitely does a job. The location is excellent, right in the middle of everything and located basically in Dam Square. We hired bikes on one day to cycle out the city but apart from that we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Plenty of shops, restaurants and bars located within minutes of the hotel (although most are very expensive, for cheaper prices it's best to walk 5-10 mins away from the main area where you'll find some really nice areas). The hotel also had a free coffee machine during the day which was a nice touch. In conclusion, we were really happy with our stay at the Rho Hotel, and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam for the first time. For the price you pay, you will struggle to find a hotel in a more central location.

Pleased with the location but disappointed with our room, nothing like the pictures on booking, very tired and worn certainly needs a facelift.room cold no heating was on,bathroom reminded me of school shower/ changing rooms,no kettle in the room, machine in corridor charging silly prices for hot drinks. Paid £348 for 2 nights including taxes but not worth the money. Breakfast was like a bun fight, people piling plates up. Couldn't believe my eyes this morning, kitchen staff brought out a basket with 12 pastries and 1 couple took 4 each even though there was several people waiting in the line patiently for food,and around 60 people in the breakfast room. Certainly not enough food out at anyone time for the amount of people in the breakfast hall. Would we book there again or recommend to others, the answer would be no !

We stayed 3 nights here and it was in a great location - the staff were helpful. A few tweaks would make it much better. For example the bedside lights in our room were on the same circuit as the main lights so you needed to get out of bed to turn these on and off. There were no light in the wardrobe area so you could hardly see your clothes in the shelves which was annoying. The water in the taps in the bath changed temperature when you switched from bath to shower. In fact the bathroom itself could probably do with an upgrade although it was perfectly clean.The breakfast was adequate but there were no extra cutlery available on display other than those on the table and dessert spoons for your cereal etc. I’m sure the staff would bring some if you asked . I know this is nit picking but a few adjustments are all that’s needed to make this a hotel I would recommend to friends.

Rooms are out of the 1970s, dirty false ceiling, curtains falling to pieces with loads of holes in, rooms were smelly and hot ( air con was off when we arrived and when switched only set to go as low as 20 degrees. Shower drippy and difficult to get a steady and safe temperature. Complimentary coffee machine on ground floor revolting and didn't work - when I asked reception where else I could get a coffee the receptionist said she fixed the machine yesterday and that I was being a difficult customer for requesting a coffee. In the end I went into breakfast room, explained that the coffee machine was broken and they said I could help myself ( but I wouldn't recommend paying 15 euros for breakfast - nothing like the online photo!!!!). All in all - really very poor. We paid £235 for one night for a family of 4, it was central which after a day of walking was great location but that was the only positive. Never written a poor review but it was awful.

If you have trouble waking up in the morning then this is the hotel for you! By strategically removing all the “do not disturb” signs from every room the cleaning staff have carte blanche to bang on every door between 8.30am and 9am. If you’re inclined to ignore it then fear not as they will shout “HOUSEKEEPING” so you are forced to respond. If you don’t know what to say then do not worry because as the walls are so thin you can get inspiration from everyone on your floor on the correct response. This service is provided at no additional cost even at weekends. I did fall back to sleep on a couple of occasions after the intrusion to my sleep but they have your back with a “snooze” mechanism by way of an industrial vacuum cleaner which will come on exactly 10 minutes after banging on your door. Through a clever payment incentive to the staff of “by the decibel” rather than “by the hour” a loud conversation will ensue whilst the vacuum cleaner is on to make sure you don’t miss any of the day during your stay here.

We stayed here for 4 nights and have had a great time. Hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them, they even helped me out with a phone charger as I brought the wrong one! Room was a double, very clean, bathroom also very clean. The room was very warm but an electric fan was provided and you can adjust the temperature on the wall. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Only downside is that we could hear the other guests in adjoining rooms, walls are quite thin, however I bought earplugs and the problem was solved! Breakfast was good, we liked the continental choices and the staff were friendly. The hotel is right in the centre of the city and is ideal for a base. Its surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the Dam Square. Everything is within walking distance or by tram. Trams are great, cheap to use if you get a 2 or 3 day pass, and they run frequently. Would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay ☺

This hotel has location, and thats it. The rooms are old and dated, some have air-con, some have not. The cleaners knock on your dorr at about 0800 wether you have a no disturb sign or not. And they will not come back, youre room will not be cleaned. If you are only concerned about getting a cheap central hotel its ok, otherwise not.

Booked twin room with walk in shower we arrived to be given a bath with shower over. Soon sorted the following day. House keeping we’re a real problem. They were knocking on the door just after 9:00. Housekeeping also use the only lift in hotel. Going to and from breakfast was difficult as housekeeping were continuously using lift with their equipment making long waits for lifts to rooms. Bed linen was clean but old one of our duvet cover had two holes in one day. Breakfast was good. Food was replenished on regular basis. Fabulous location as almost on Dam square.
