An Overview of the RHO Hotel Amsterdam

If you are planning a trip abroad and are planning a stop in Amsterdam, it can be difficult deciding where to book accommodations. While most travel websites have travelers reviews, it can be a tedious task reading through them to get a general feel for the hotel you are considering. If you are considering the RHO Hotel Amsterdam, however, you are in luck. All of the information about the hotel and its facilities, as well as traveler reviews, have been thoroughly studied and compiled into one easy and quick overview of the hotel. This should make your decision a lot easier.

Opened in 1989, the RHO is housed in a historic 1908 building that was once used by an Amsterdam gold company, located in the city center a few blocks from Dam Square. The RHO Hotel Amsterdam offers modern rooms that include shower, bath and toilet in room, satellite television, direct dial phone, refrigerator, safe, fan and hair dryer. Suites are also available, and offer separate bedrooms and living space, which includes the living room and dining area. Suites also include all of the amenities of regular rooms, with the addition of microwave, coffeemaker, other items, and a private balcony.

The hotel itself offers free luggage storage, private parking, inclusive buffet breakfast, 24 hour reception and a private bar. In addition, since March of 2008 it has been completely non-smoking. Travelers who have stayed at the RHO Hotel Amsterdam and written positive traveler reviews on tripadvisor,com most often noted the ideal location to local attractions, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the friendly staff. Two reviewers used these descriptions “home away from home” and “hidden gem”. A few reviewers noted that the rooms were not well sound proofed, and that they could easily hear visitors in neighboring rooms. Some also noted that the regular rooms were small compared to American standards.

Overall, the RHO would be a good choice for those visiting Amsterdam for the first time. If you are sensitive to noise and don’t want to risk losing sleep, or if you prefer roomier accomodations, you’ll want to book a suite, which will be a bit more expensive but worth the money.
