10/10 Excellent
"A Charming Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Amsterdam! This beautiful boutique hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms are jewel boxes, exquisitely decorated with luxurious fabrics and thoughtful details. The canal view from my room was wonderful, and the location was ideal, within walking distance of Amsterdam’s major attractions. The lobby, lounges, and restaurant were equally lovely. Complimentary coffee, chilled beverages, and sweets throughout the day were an especially thoughtful touch. A truly memorable stay!"

"We booked NH city centre on a whim based on its location. We were delightfully surprised at what a wonderful stay we had and in fact , extended our stay there because they were so helpful. So welcoming, clean rooms and common areas. And extra treats like free Brita water, and sour candies. We took advantage of both and enjoyed that little extra thoughtfulness. We especially want to commend Elena. She observed us coming in, engaged us in conversation, gave us great recommendations. We looks for her each day and really appreciated how well she took care of us, throughout our stay. We would highly recommmend NH CITY CENTRE for a perfect location and a very comfortable, welcoming stay! Also the woman who greeted the breakfast crowd- I did not catch her name. She was delightful!! So warm, remembered people, accommodating and helpful in assisting guests with the breakfast area."
