There are some interesting bars and restaurants further down the street the hotel is on. Not cheap, but reasonable value and good quality - worth a try. You can always get good cheap food at one of the many 'rice tables' in the area.
The hotel is also close to the 'Red Light District' and all the attendant delights that entails. (You can sometimes find cheap bars tucked in amongst the 'window shopping' of the RLD. They are perfectly safe too as there is a always a heavy police presence to keep the Stag boys under control!)
Also, head across Dam Square with the Hotel behind you, past Albert Hijn (a classy supermarket, not unlike Waitrose) and you come to one of the main shopping streets with bargains galore!! And they still have C & A in the Netherlands too.
So, in summary, I would recommend this hotel. Having been to Amsterdam many times, it is at least as good as anything else and way better than many at a similar price point.
Advantages: Excellent location Disadvantages: Can be difficult to find at first
...street off Dam Square, The Rho is ideally located for those wishing to have a centralised base from which to view and experience Amsterdam. Close to all the main attractions, Dam Square is a known venue for impromptu funfairs, concerts and the like.
Although guests will appreciate the quiet location at night, on arrival in Dam Square it can be a little difficult to identify on which of the side streets the hotel is located, as Dam Square is usually ... ...the giant clog outside, you are heading in the right direction. You can also take a tram in front of Central Station, get out at the first stop. (Tram numbers 4, 9, 16, 24, 25). Tickets cost € 1.00.
The hotel has an impressive reception area - once a theater, built in 1908 in Art-Deco style. There was always a member of staff available on the reception desk, and they were more than happy to assist with directions or general advice on getting around ...

Advantages: wheelchair friendly, very fun, friendly Disadvantages: none
Recently my husband and I visited Amsterdam. We were a bit worried about wheelchair accessibility as we couldn't find much online about it. However we were very happily surprised at what we found. Our first worry was about the trains from the airport to town. They were very friendly and also very accessible. Once we got to Amsterdam it was easy to get around. Even the trams are accessible. The hotel we stayed in (HotelRho right in Dam Square) was very good too. We had a wonderful time for the five days that we were there. I would highly recommend Amsterdam as a destination for both abled and disabled travellers. Bon Voyage! ...
The 3-star Rho Hotel opened it\\\'s doors in April 1989. It is located in a quiet street, just a few steps away from the famous DAM square, in the very center of Amsterdam. The building was once used by an old Ams terdam gold trading company. The beautiful reception and lobby were on ce a theater, built in 1908 in Art-Deco style.
