Hotels near RAI Amsterdam, Amsterdam

The hotel's cleanliness wasn't great; there was a thick layer of dust in many areas, which made it feel like housekeeping wasn't thorough enough. It's a shame and a bit of a waste because the hotel's decor and facilities are actually quite nice, and I heard it's an older, well-established hotel. Roomkeeping definitely needs improvement. When I checked out, I mentioned the cleanliness issues to a nice guy at the front desk. He apologized and even waived the parking fee, which was really good service, hats off to him. Breakfast was standard, had everything you'd expect.

The hotel is quite large, and the breakfast is plentiful. There's a park nearby, and dining options are very convenient. The subway station is just 100 meters away, making it easy to get anywhere. I'd definitely consider booking here again in the future, especially since the Ctrip price was excellent. It would be even more perfect if I could earn Accor points!

Unlike the motels I had in my past, this is a very attentive modern hotel that feels relatively new. The rooms are large in Europe, and they pay attention to every detail of the service. A very comfortable stay. The location is also easy to find, just across the right from the subway station of the exhibition center. There is also a large supermarket next to it. It takes more than ten minutes to take the train to the airport. It is between the airport and the old town. Two subway stops to the Museum Square, and four subway stops to the central railway station.

1. **Room:** A bit small, but perfectly adequate for one person. It had air conditioning, an electric kettle (which looked like blue and white porcelain), adjustable lighting, and more. The facilities were relatively new and well-maintained, with no hidden spots for dirt. If I indicated I didn't need my room cleaned by hanging the 'green' eco-friendly sign, they wouldn't clean it, and in return, I'd get a soft drink voucher for the bar. I used a voucher once to get a sparkling juice from the 2nd-floor bar. **Problem:** Replenishing essential supplies was inconsistent. The tissue box wasn't refilled when I checked in, with only a few tissues left. I mentioned it in the evening and again the next morning, but it wasn't until I went to the front desk a second time on the next evening that it was finally restocked. The same went for towels; I asked twice, and they still weren't changed a day later. Finally, on the third attempt at the front desk, they were replaced. This only happened when I dealt with Southeast Asian front desk staff; when I spoke to European staff, replacements arrived within 10 minutes. Towels and bathrobes also had to be requested; if you didn't ask, you wouldn't get them. The provided bedding, towels, and bathrobes were all quite old, not bright white, and not starched. 2. **Breakfast:** The food was plentiful, the service warm, and food items were refilled promptly, as were used dishes cleared away quickly. Again, the Southeast Asian staff weren't as enthusiastic and didn't greet me as readily, whereas the European staff were equally pleasant to everyone. The restaurant is on the 17th floor with great views. It's quite large, beautifully decorated, and has two serving stations, which is very convenient. There are also two large outdoor terraces perfect for enjoying the view or dining al fresco. On my check-out day, after breakfast, I bid farewell to the European staff, and they even gave me a special hotel lollipop, saying they hoped I'd visit again. 3. The second floor has a lovely, comfortable lounge area and a bar with a somewhat 'creative/cultural' aesthetic in its decor. 4. In spring, there's a direct bus to Keukenhof from the bus plaza below the hotel. You can buy round-trip tickets online. If you're staying at or near the hotel, you can take the bus directly, saving you a trip to Central Station. 5. **Transportation:** There are several train, metro, and bus options nearby. Given how punctual public transport is in the Netherlands, it's very easy to plan your sightseeing. All stations are within a few minutes' walk. 6. **Supermarket and Restaurants:** There's a Dirk supermarket a few minutes away. Near the hotel, there are various restaurants, including Western options like Italian, and Southeast Asian cuisine.

The location is perfect for our needs. The access to trams is ideal for getting around Amsterdam. The downside of this hotel is the noise from other guests. The walls do not block out any sounds and this was unpleasant the one night as our neighbours kept arguing and if felt like they were in our room. The staff are all very pleasant, but communication was sometimes difficult. But will definitely stay here again

Everything was very good — the bed, the pillows, and the neighborhood, which is super quiet and residential, without the hustle and bustle of the city center. There is also a tram stop, as well as restaurants, shops, and a supermarket nearby. The only thing I noticed is that the bathroom could use some shelves to place personal items, especially inside the shower, as there’s nowhere to put things.

The room is clean, overall. Small room but it was comfortable for me as I was staying alone. Bed is comfortable. Limited amenities in the room. There is no drinking water provided but filtered water is available from the lobby. They even provide jugs so it makes it more convenient. Staff have been helpful and friendly! Best part was I arrived hotel early at 8am.. Expected to wait till 2pm for the room to be ready. But I was allowed to check in immediately, managed to catch some rest before my work commitments. Will definitely stay in CitizenM hotels as budget choice.

The hotel was in a good location for the Amstelveen marathon. It was only 5 minutes by tram to get there. There was a good selection of food for breakfast. The hotel was quiet. The air con in the room couldn't be turned off so my nose was wrecked after two nights sleeping with it on.

I was in Amsterdam for work at RAI and the hotel was a pleasant 25-minute walk away. I enjoyed the scenery along the way, and it was a bonus to catch a rowing competition happening on the Amstel River – quite a sight! The hotel's room service was excellent, and housekeeping was always prompt. The restaurant was also clean and hygienic.

Very convenient location. Literally just outside Amsterdam Zuid station which gives you plenty of options to travel to the city center by public transport. Easy and within 5-10 minutes you are in the center of Amsterdam. The neighbourhood on the Zuidas is also great with plenty of nice restaurants in the area in case you dont want to travel. I would always stay in this hotel rather than in the busy and inconvenient to travel city center of the city
