the hotel is renovated and the design is quite good. the location of the hotel is good. That's all and my stay left a lot of bad memory.

I booked the hotel in the internet and they couldn't find my reservation. It is absolutely ridiculous for such a famous 5 stars hotel. After getting into the room, the room was full of dust on the telephone, tables and on the floor. I am very doubt about the house keeping standard. The payment was messy, I had to paid by cash again even I was debited by credit card during the booking system. Moreover, after I left the hotel for 2 weeks, they debited my credit card without any notice. I emailed to them to look for the reason. They claimed that I used 3 bottles of water at the minibar (which I never used at all).

What a ridiculous! It is totally messy, overpriced and poor-serviced hotel.

We have just returned from a three night stay in Amsterdam as part of the 2008 New Year celebrations. This was our 3rd trip to Amsterdam but our first stay in this particular hotel.

The NH Amsterdam Centre is a decent 3 star hotel. The Styling is contemporary and the hotel benefits from standard facilities for a hotel of this class. The rooms are confortable, if a bit small, but they are clean with well appointed bathrooms. A good shower is always a positive!

The location is probably the most important feature, being just off Leidseplein and well within walking distance of most attractions. The Museum district is within 5 minutes walk, Anne Franks house within 15 minutes and the central station about 20 minutes walk. There is a tram stop right outside the hotel where you can catch the number 1,2, or 5 trams, which cover the main routes.

Overall not a bad stay. Great if you want to see the best of what Amsterdam has to offer, but perhpas lacking if you are after some European character!

I stayed here a week for a business visit. I discovered the hotel last year in another business visit. However, it was my first time this year (July/07), I stayed in the hotel.

I was concerned about small rooms due to some comments in tripadvisor pages. Thus, I booked a bigger room due to a long stay. Big room, good bathroom. Just for your info, big rooms have no view for the main street. I was just seeing the side walls of Marriot.

NH Amsterdam has an Italian restaurant inside. It is also mentioned in the city travel guides. Good, not bad.
But I was expecting more in terms of food.
In addition, I noticed that they mostly focus on Dutch guests and offer the locals free desserts and liquors etc. In terms of attitude, you don’t feel you are really in an Italian restaurant, even if most of the waiters are from south Italy.

NH Amsterdam is just next to Marriot. And Marriot has a Pizza Hut restaurant. Both Marriot and Pizza Hut have the same main enterance door. It was strange to see Pizza Hut in Marriot!
I also ate there two times. Also last year. Not bad.

NH is pretty near to Rijk Museum, walking distance. Good opportunity to visit. And I also visited Van Gogh Museum.
It was perfect.

Over all, NH Amsterdam City Center is a good hotel. In terms of location, it was between the convention center and city center.

Recently went to Europe for our honeymoon with Amsterdam as one of our stops. I am picky when it comes to hotels and like modern over classic. Hotel was nice and room was medium in size. The bathroom was modern and the toiletries they provided were AWESOME. The most I have seen at any hotel. The hotel is located near Leidsplein Square in the south end of the city. Around 3 miles from the Amsterdam Centraal train station. Easy walking distance to museum quarter and upscale shopping district, w/ Chanel, Prada, etc. Staff was very accomodating and everyone spoke english. We would definitely return to this hotel chain. There are several "NH" hotels and they all looked very presentable, just depends on the location you want to stay in and if you dont mind walking a couple of miles. The city isn't that large and is easy to navigate. BTW - we pronounced the hotel N -H like we do in the America's but it is actually Dutch and pronounced N -HA, if you have to tell a cabbie where you are staying ahahahaha
