Hotel Rokin Amsterdam

Description

The Rokin Hotel is a real family business that was opened in 1973. After a renovation in 2004 the hotel was rewarded with its current 3-star status. Two monumental 17th century buildings make up the hotel, which is situated at the Rokin in the heart of Amsterdam. Some of the characteristic elements were kept during the renovation, amongst which the wooden ceiling beams. The hotel rooms are equipped with a private shower and toilet, a tv and a safe for all your valuables. There is an elevator in the hotel as well.

From the hotel it is just a short stroll to the 'Dam', where you will find the 'Koninklijk Paleis' (royal palace), Madame Tussauds, the National Monument and the 'Nieuwe Kerk', which houses expositions on a regular basis. In the area that surrounds the 'Dam' there are numerous shops, for example in the 'Kalverstraat', the 'Nieuwendijk' and the luxurious Magna Plaza shopping centre. The Rokin Hotel is also a perfect spot if you are planning a night out, since the 'Rembrandtplein' is easy to reach on foot. At the reception you can book all kinds of fun excursions.

Anonymous Comfortable room in a good location: 3 October 2011; 7.6; + Location is excellente and room are big enough for a comfortable stay; - Room was a little bit smelly but after a while we got used to it. Room probably need a bit of refurbishment

Anonymous Good, centrally located budget accommodation: 2 October 2011; 7.2; + Basic but comfortable and clean, decent breakfast too. About as good as you could expect in this price bracket in central Amsterdam too. Centrally located is a bonus.; - But... central location also means it can be a tad noisy during the day and late at night.

Salomeh Ahmadi Recommended hotel: 9 August 2011; 8.2; + Clean, comfortable, the lady in the reception was very helpful, friendly and nice.; - the breakfast was not appealing, very simple, but no point to complain about it

Anonymous Slighty pricey for a small single room and no WiFi on top floor: 11 June 2011; 7.8; + 24h reception room and bathroom are clean Comfortable and clean bedding good breakfast variety and quality Walking distance from Central Station; - WiFi on 4th floor not working throught my 3 nights stay and the hotel didn't do anythiing about it. Had to go to lobby to use WiFi. Very small single room Housekeeping didn't replace tiny bath soap throughout my stay. 4th floor doesn't have elevator (goes up to 3rd only) Breakfast menu the same every day. Not good for long stays.

Ed Larsen: 22 May 2011; 8.4; + Location is very good, close but not too noisy. Breakfast is great. Staff is most friendly and helpful.; - Stairway to breakfast is very steep.

Tor Espen Thorvaldsen Nice located budget hotel: 6 January 2011; 7.8; + Good breakfast.

Vladimir Germann: 30 December 2010; 9.0; + 24 hours open reception, helpful staff, good breakfast; - no place at all to hold and load/unload bagadge

Vicki Marsh Friendly, comfortable hotel, with a great breakfast: 9 November 2010; 9.8; + The staff were extremely helpful and were happy to supply tea when requested. The breakfast is excellent with lots of choice. The hotel is clean and comfortable and easy to get to.; - We would have preferred a double bed rather than 2 singles, but it was not a problem. Also a few more english speaking tv channels or a movie channel would have been nice.

briton Do not worry about the view...there are no windows: 31 August 2010; 4.0; + Great location. Staff good about storing bags; - Got a tiny room with no windows!! Noisy guests at night waking us up.

S. Dedei Very welcoming place...: 26 April 2010; 9.6; + The Hotel is located very close to the Central Station and one of the main squares, Dam Square, as well as other very interesting sites to be visited..... The service is very good, rooms are comfortable and equiped with all one would need. I think is the perfect hotel to stay while visiting Amsterdam.

david mclachlan Frequent stayed: 20 April 2010; 8.2; + Have stayed at this hotel on several occasions and always had a pleasant stay this time my flights were cancelled for my return journey.The hotel was very helpful and I was able to book my room for a further 3 nights.The staff are always pleasant and helpful; - Television in room could do with updating

Patrick Doherty Dependably clean, quiet and convenient with no extra charges: 13 February 2010; 9.0; + Free wireless, friendly helpful staff, quiet

Anonymous: 19 October 2009; 8.0; + It is very clean, Ok sized rooms and are heated, Hot water anytime was available for showering, great breakfast, overall friendly staff members and helpful. It was Ok to check in before the check in time.; - Only one staff member was rude with his attitude, though there is no need to overlook all the posetive aspects of the hotel because of this.

Gary May Convenience And Value For Money.: 12 August 2009; 8.6; + Breakfast is excellent with a good selection. Location of the hotel is about 500 yards from Dam Square which makes it ideal for shopping and/or night life. Staff are very friendly.; - I have stayed in the hotel four times now and have found the rooms at the rear a lot quieter as you get noise from traffic and trams, also the Metro extension which is being built outside has been in construction stage for a long time but I must say it looks like its nearly completed.

Kestutis Paulauskas A good package for short stay of location, parking and breakfast: 20 July 2009; 9.0; + Location, breakfast, parking (!); - a bit noisy in the room facing the street

Mario Marković 43: 16 July 2009; 8.6; + hygiene,wireless conection,service; - there is no fridge in the room and the madrace is too soft

Anonymous Location is perfect: 13 July 2009; 8.6; + Location, clean and comfortable, parking available; - TV didn't work, parking was at another hotel and it took 45 minutes for them to get our car out - plan ahead there.

Barry Wood Nice but Noisy: 4 July 2009; 8.4; + Very clean, room surprisingly spacious, excellent position. Excellent breakfast.; - Avoid front room as there is quite a bit of noise through the night from revellers (being so close to the centre).

Gennady Semchenkov Hotel Rokin needs more style and comfort: 16 June 2009; 4.0; + Service was good. Breakfast was OK; - Despite the fact that I made my reservation one month before my check-in when I arrive at the hotel the reception told me that all the rooms were occupied. I was shown a room which shocked me. It was dull, no comfort, narrow with a dirt tiny window on the ceiling. In Moscow such rooms are used for homeless people who don't pay more than EU100 per night. Only in the evening after we couldn't close the window I was proposed another room with windows and more decent atmosphere. I can't understand why they didn't give a proper room at the begining. It was interesting to hear when he promised to do something in the morning when a person at the reception in the evening on the same day did his best to meet my request for more decent room. I have stayed in many hotels abroard with three starts and this is for the first time when I was really disipointed. In general the hotel needs some style and the rooms should look more comfortable and homy.

FREDERIC NOZIERE: 10 May 2009; 4.8; + proximity of city center; - very bad room nÂ°5 !!!

Per Rosendal: 27 April 2009; 6.8; + Good breakfast. Very serviceminded reception.; - No bedmaking or towels on sunday. No posibility for buying hot drinks or beer in the vending machine.

Anonymous Amsterdam - wir kommen wieder!: 13 April 2009; 7.8; + Sehr freundliches Personal an der Reception! Schöne Zimmer, relativ klein, aber man kommt schliesslich nach Amsterdam, um die Stadt zu sehen und nicht um die Tage auf dem Zimmer zu verbringen - und schliesslich sind die Nächte auch kurz..... Frühstücksbuffet sehr abwechslungsreich und wird immer wieder aufgefüllt.; - Das Hotel liegt super zentral, direkt an der belebten Rokin-Strasse, wo Autos und Trams verkehren. Lärmempfindlichen Personen wird geraten, ein Zimmer zum Innenhof zu buchen!

Sükrü Akdemir Rokin Comments from Charly: 24 November 2008; 8.0; + Location was very quiet, despite of City centre. So it was good to sleep in the night.; - The city map might be replaced by another map, which is able to give more details about the "street names" fom the centre.

Boris: 26 October 2008; 9.0; + great location

Jean It's more of a B&B than a hotel: 7 October 2008; 6.0; + Excellent location, very central. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and had good variety.; - Rooms are outdated and stuffy, refurbishments would make a huge difference. Beds are way too soft. I booked a double room not 2single beds pushed together, this was very annoying. No athmosphere, it's more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel

guova Trauma: 15 September 2008; 3.6; + location; - breakfast: disaster shower: was that some kind of joke? (1l of water/min.)

Kevin Scott Good hotel for Amsterdam: 17 August 2008; 8.0; + easy to find, central location, breakfast and tax included in price, clean with friendly staff.; - construction in front of building spoils atmosphere a bit. Location very central but quite busy and tacky part of town.

Slawomir: 1 August 2008; 6.8; + location ok; - price to high

Jason Kessler: 13 July 2008; 8.8; + Again another excellent stay. If you read the other comments there are alot that speak of the construction. I found out that they are building a subway and it will not be completed until 2013. Don't let this discourage you from staying here.; - Narrow stairs that lead to the front office. Hard to move luggage and stroller up the stairs. I guess there are no disabilitiy laws in Europe.

Brad: 30 June 2008; 8.8; + Excellent location, close to most oturist hotspots

Julie: 22 June 2008; 3.6; + Good location; - service : Service only one person in the reception. Location: There are buiding the road, just in front of the hotel - a lot of noise... difficult to sleep.

Pat: 2 June 2008; 9.8; + We had a delightful stay. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The 24 hours reception was a relief as we arrived late by train. Also the lift was quite necessary for us! The room was very pleasant and comfortable.; - None

Mariane: 18 February 2008; 9.4; + Excellent breakfast, very clean and very good location. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms at the back of building are not noisy at all!; - The only âminus point" I can think of is the bathroom. There is no division between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom!

Sophie Devnosadze: 11 February 2008; 9.4; + Location is just great - it is almost on Dam square and within 10 minutes walk to Rembrandt Place. The Hotel is very clean, staff is extremely helpful and nice sence of humor. Breakfast was great.

J&M: 3 February 2008; 7.2; + + Nice staff + Good breakfast + Location + etc; - - Cold room gave us both a cold. - Wireless interet for 2 hours then you had to go and ask for a new password. Whyy? Just keep it on at all time. - Twin bed altough we booked a double.

Anonymous: 7 January 2008; 8.6; + loacation, hygiene, service; - only one small window

Peter & Liz Allan: 10 December 2007; 8.6; + The bedroom accomodation was very good. The breakfast facilities were excellent and there was a good range of items to choose from. The bathroom was clean,with an ample supply of fresh towels etc. The hotel is near most of the main tourist attractions and is easy to get to from the main railway station.; - The lack of tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom was a bit disappointing. Most hotels we have visited have such facilities available.
