Hotel nhow Amsterdam RAI

We stayed here in June while in Amsterdam for work, and it was an absolute pleasure — especially after a terrible experience at another hotel earlier in our trip. The difference was night and day. Everything here is done with care and attention to detail. The breakfast is incredible — probably one of the best we’ve ever had — with high-quality ingredients, great coffee, and a truly exceptional barista. The rooftop terrace is a beautiful spot to start or end the day, and the service throughout the hotel is warm, professional, and consistent. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and genuinely comfortable — everything feels thoughtfully arranged, down to the smallest detail. It’s clear that the management really understands what makes guests feel at ease. The location isn’t right in the city center, but it’s easily accessible by public transport, and in a way, that’s part of the charm — it’s quieter here, and you can actually relax and recharge after a busy day. After a rough start elsewhere, this hotel truly felt like a breath of fresh air. We left feeling rested, well taken care of, and grateful for the experience. Highly recommended.

I had a work trip. Stayed at nhow for 3 nights. It's a nice hotel with colorful vibes. Room are decorative and also had coffee machine, mini refrigerator and iron. Even they provided cute colorful slippers. I was impressed with the breakfast. I couldn't take pictures of the breakfast but besides the usuals they had fresh orange juice pressor, overnight soaked oats, two types of smoothies, yougurt with fruits and different kind of nuts and mixed seeds. If you are in rush, just take this pre prepared options. The staff was also good and helpful.

This hotel is an absolute gem - as long as you don’t mind staying a little away from the canals. The rooms are spacious, clean and decorated with a sense of quirkiness in mind. The hotel bars have friendly staff, stunning decor and a sense of modernity. Public transportation is easy, reliable and affordable and is your best bet of getting around town - and bring your walking shoes of course! They have an option to not have your room cleaned daily - and if you opt for this, they give you a voucher for a free drink - which I found to be a nice perk. We loved this hotel and it will be our new go-to next time we are back in Amsterdam. Thanks for the most excellent stay!

Incredibly friendly and interested staff in reception. Everyone I met could not have been more helpful. I was part of an event being held and the conference term were really engaging too. Food is off the scale fabulous with so much choice and excellent views from the restaurant. Room was a corner one so plenty of light and windows to look through from the 14th floor. Check out was easy and local advice on transport links was really good. Located by the railway station so it’s an excellent hub for getting around

This is how a hotel needs to be! The rooms are magnificent, the bathroom is very luxuries, the breakfast is perfect (also for vegans and with cava), the view at the restaurant and bars are amazing and the people who work there are very friendly. Just walk out the hotel and in a few minutes you are at the metro and within 10 minutes you are at the Dam or museumplein. Loved my stay!

We stayed here for 2 nights amd it was an ideal location, minutes drive from the airport and walkable (~50) to dam square and amsterdam city centre. We enjoyed walking but subway station was a few stepts from the hotel. The botel itself was a nice boutiuqe hotel style local gem. Great art and theme to the hotel decor and the staff was professional welcoming. The breakfast manager showeed us around and let us see the restauarant during the day. Our room was nice, had accessories incase you forgot and are eco conscience. Great stay, friendly people and wonderful location.

The hotel is very close to the train station (airport) and is very well connected to the city center by metro and tram. We loved the hotel — the décor, the design, the public areas, and the photo booth! The front office staff were very polite, and we appreciated the late check-out. The room was very clean and well-equipped, and you can easily adjust the temperature by following the instructions. You must visit the restaurant on the 24th floor — excellent service and a great wine selection!

This is a gem .First of all the architecture is one of the kind everywhere in the hotel you can find colorful paintings. Rooms are fancy and rich breakfast with a view. Location is superb and next to the train/metro station.Free drink voucher for those who turn on green label for the room and avoid room cleaning

I had the pleasure of staying in this Art project turned hotel recently. The architecture is quite something, as are many buildings in Amsterdam. Our group of 50 booked it out, and the entire hotel is quite beautiful. Centrally located across from the Convention Center and near the Metro, we found it very convenient for our four day stay. The staff were friendly, and efficient checking our group in on the second floor; brilliant. The rooms are interesting: long hallway into a room with two single beds right next to one another. There were two of us (women) and it was a bit cozy. There are many amenities: including a lovely espresso machine to start the day before you head up to the 17th floor, gorgeous view for a spectacular breakfast buffet. The staff are very friendly, but if you don't tell them while you are away from the table gathering more goodies they will clear your table in a blink. Happened to me twice, before I got wise. The buffet includes everything you could hope or imagine for breakfast which is my favorite meal of the day. A waffle bar, granola bar, glass shelves display of charcuterie, English breakfast complete with scrambled eggs, beans, tomatoes and sausages. Two capuchino stations, one completely plant based, and you can make as many as you like. If you prefer to take food with you, that is an option as well. The hotel has a restaurant, and a lovely bar. Food at the restaurant has a limited menu but there are many eateries near by to choose from for dinner. My only comment to improve my stay I would have liked to have had a luggage rack as my large suitcase had to go on the floor. This is a boutique hotel I don't think most of their guests bring a great deal of luggage. The bathroom was beautiful with a raindrop shower in a wonderful glass enclosed area. You need to utilize the door to the hallway if you want to keep the water in the shower. Lots of warm comfy towels are available if you ask for them. There is also a towel warmer on the wall. Nice touch. I am not completely sure how this hotel compares price wise with others but its uniqueness in decor makes it stand out. For artist enthusiasts be sure to check out the second floor; lots of places to sit and enjoy your stay while enjoying the decor.

The hotel was clean, beds comfortable. Would not have been my first choice of a hotel to stay in to see the sites in Amsterdam. Its a very modern looking hotel with lots of concrete and glass. It's not in an area thats close to anything fun in Amsterdam. Its basically inside a triangle of highways. I could hear cars inside my room. It seems like more a business persons hotel. Not many food choices close by and the hotel restaurants aren't anything I would return to. If you want to enjoy Amsterdam stay in the city center, I wish we had.

Interesting not to say stunning architecture by Reinier de Graaf. The hotel was overall a good place to stay despite it not being near the center. But the metro made it actually very easy. The check-in was terrible as I had a confirmed upgrade and a confirmed early check-in but guess what: an early check-in for the upgrade did not exist. The ultimate room was very nice, spacious, well designed, comfortable bed. The including morning breakfast had a lot of items but nothing was particularly outstanding. Alltogether, it was a good place to stay and a place associated with wonderful memories.

The nhow is a great business hotel, convenient to the RAI convention center, Zuid business area, and Metro stations. Part of the nh chain, the decor here is an eclectic Asian and Latino mix. Nice modern rooms. But here are my complaints: 1) beside the wonderful breakfast buffet that ends at 10:30 AM there are NO FOOD options until 6 PM when the dinner place opens. Walking distance to food offsite is several blocks away. 2) WiFi is so weak it is barely useable. 3) the only content on TV is news, and only three are in English but no CNN 4) there are no streaming services on TV 5) the toilet is blocked by the bathroom counter. I can't surf the net on the toilet. But WiFi sucks anyway, so why bother? It's a great place for a business trip, if you don't plan to spend much time in your room. But for tourists, you might want to search other nh hotel options in the city.

I miss traveling, and I miss Amsterdam. I haven't been traveling lately because of the Pandemic, so I am practicing social distancing. One of the hotels I have stayed at was the Hotel Nhow Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I love this hotel. Very modern and artsy. The hotel is okay since there's a lot of restaurants and grocery stores. I prefer to stay downtown, but the hotel is close to the train station. The staff is professional and friendly, and the rooms are clean.

This hotel is perfect for attending functions at RAI. If you plan to spend more time at Central Amsterdam, it is a bit of a walk... the rooms are smaller, but functional. The breakfast buffet is good and has a lot of variety. The elevator bank is confusing, but after a couple days you get used to it.

I was a guest at nhow Amsterdam for 4 days and I had an excellent stay! The hotel has a great uplifting, modern vibe. The lounge is decorated with bright colors of furniture and gorgeous wall murals. The front desk staff, (especially Roji) is so sweet and helpful. It was Roji that checked me in and out and she went above and beyond when it came to helping me with getting my Covid test. My room was comfortable and clean. I turned down housekeeping an because of that, nhow rewards their guest with a coupon for 2 free drinks at the bar. I received 3 coupons so that's 6 free drinks! The bartender was great and even gave me free pinapple and orange slices. The hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk to the metro and the train station which gets you to the airport. I loved my room view on the 21st floor. Another perk of staying here is the free candy and the front entrance! Every time I got off the metro and saw the hotel just a few feet away always made me feel reassured and welcomed. I knew I was walking back into a place of comfort and as a solo traveler I felt safe. I would definitely return and highly recommend!

I was staying at the nhow for a conference, and it was in a great location - walking distance to the conference center and near public transit. There is a train that takes you to and from the airport directly outside of the hotel which was super convenient. The hotel itself has nice elevators and a good amount so you're never waiting around. There is a small help yourself convenient store that also sells alcohol for those times the bar is closed. If you refuse room cleaning any day, you get a free drink voucher. The most amazing aspect of this hotel is by far the breakfast. There are tons of options that are super quality. Bread and cheeses and olives / meats / etc., croissants, waffle station, yogurt station, donuts, other cakes and pies, fruit, English breakfast (beans, sausage, eggs, and mushrooms. There is a great variety of fresh juice, and champagne or vodka for any particular morning beverages. There is also fruit infused water and a coffee machine. I would stay here again just to have the breakfast.

I go to Amsterdam regularly and stayed in this hotel January 2020 within the first week of it opening for a work trip with a long group. It is one of the top ones I stayed at. Overall the group said we'd go back. What I liked: 1. Rooms were nice, nice location, and good views. 2. Breakfast was good with fresh squeezed orange juice, made to order omelets, and nice view on the 17th floor. 3. Good value - nice clean, fresh hotel. Friendly staff. 4. Places to eat, and a bowling alley in walking distance. What I didn't like: 1.They had multiple "pocked gyms" on three different floors, but I would have liked a larger gym so we could work out together. 2. I thought the towels were not soft and a bit rough. 3. The elevators were fast, but didn't always take my key scan to get to my floor. I am guessing it is an opening issue. 4. My colleagues were surprised the bar closed at 11am

Inside the stacked triangular wedges of noted architecture firm OMA's assertive three-part form, every detail of the rooms is thoughtful, from the subtle, damask-patterned wall coverings to the round carpet under the bed. The smallest rooms are just the right size, with a desk large enough for a laptop and guidebooks and a lounge chair for taking in the views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There is no extraneous art on the walls, and no art is needed, since every surface is interesting, whether mirrored, textured, or wood. With its flattering lighting, the bathroom features a first-rate rain shower head and unusual but intuitive controls, and the heated mirror doesn't fog up. The only drawbacks are, if you're on the 18th or 19th floor, minor sound transmission of voices from the restaurant terrace below. But nighttime sleep was totally quiet. Elevators are plentiful and fast. The approach from the north is anything but quaint, and elevated roadway obscures the first experience of the dynamic form; it would be improved by removal of the hundreds of cigarette butts in the joints between the brick walkway and by re-thinking the mediocre landscaping. But the convenience to the M52 subway at Europaplein and the Sprinter to and from Schiphol at the RAI station--only two stops away!--makes the location exceptionally convenient, and at 1/3 the cost of comparable options a bit closer in, nhow is a fine choice for a visit to Amsterdam.

As a US-based corporate event planner, this is my go-to hotel for all groups attending conferences at RAI Amsterdam. Attendees rave about the cleanliness, creative decor + proximity to the convention center. Highly recommended -- I must give Cindy a shoutout -- she is a joy to work with + saved the day for one of my clients. I look forward to my future stays here.
