5 star Hotels in Amsterdam RAI - World Trade Center

On arrival we were concerned as the outside of the building is drab in grey concrete. Inside, however, was a different story. The lobby was spacious and airy. The reception staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was of a very good size and the bed and bedding were to die for, the best sleeps I have ever had in a hotel! The food in the restaurant was top notch and most artistically presented. The service was exemplary, with 5 star touches such as having the bed coverlet removed before retiring to your room. The hotel is situated in one of the best areas of Amsterdam so the surroundings were lovely and also close to boutique shops and excellent cafés and restaurants. The area was quiet, yet it was only 15 minutes by the frequent trams into the Centre; the museum precinct was just a 10 minute walk away. The only "downside" was that this really is a business hotel (lots of meeting/conference rooms) so there were no personal touches such as a vase of flowers in the bedrooms. But, to be honest, I just can't wait to get back!

We ask for a quiet room with a view and a twin bed, and that is what we got! a quiet spacious room on the 7th floor with a scenic view over the canal and city. I am 187 cm and most beds are too short, however this bed was long and wide! the bedding spotless. My wife has a bad neck and whenever possible travels with her own pillow, however these pillows were very comfortable and she never had a complain. The bathroom is spacious and beautiful. I am not keen on a bath-shower but this one had a curtain rail arrangement that provided ample space and the cold and wet curtain never so much as touched my body and the floor never got wet. The staff is super friendly and supportive, always ready to lend a hand and to give advice. The restaurant's are good and the atmosphere relaxing.
