NH Amsterdam Zuid

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. Hotel was lovely, all I will say is from what we have seen with other people staying we didn’t get the same welcoming we just got told where the lifts were and what floor were on and to ring reception if we needed anything. Whereas others were given advice about where to go to eat what to do, how to travel around etc etc. There was nothing to help as it was our first time in Amsterdam. Maybe that was just from the man that checked us in as the man when checking out was"
