NH Amsterdam Caransa - A centrally located hotel on Rembrandt Square with city views and recently renovated rooms

Located directly on vibrant Rembrandt Square, this 4-star Amsterdam hotel features 66 rooms renovated in 2020. NH Amsterdam Caransa's first-floor restaurant serves a comprehensive buffet breakfast with fresh juices, pastries, cold cuts, and made-to-order hot dishes, with outdoor terrace dining available in summer months. Each contemporary room includes free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, minibars, and desks, while many offer views over Rembrandt Square or the River Amstel. The 6th-floor Junior Suite features a large terrace with panoramic city views. The property includes four naturally lit meeting rooms accommodating up to 260 people, a 24-hour front desk, and a convenience store. A tram stop directly outside NH Caransa connects to Amsterdam Central Station in 10 minutes, while Dam Square is 0.5 miles away and the Van Gogh Museum is 1 mile from the property.

Pros

Recently renovated rooms in 2020 with modern, uncluttered design

First-floor restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows and summer terrace

24/7 convenience store offering fresh sandwiches and snacks

Walking distance to major attractions including Flower Market (0.5 miles) and Royal Palace (0.5 miles)

Cons

No on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner

Square-facing rooms may experience noise from nearby nightlife venues

“The location on Rembrandtplein places you squarely in Amsterdam's vibrant heart, surrounded by cafes and nightlife. I think the updated, modern rooms appeal especially to business travelers seeking uncluttered comfort. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the square seemed a real highlight, offering a great start to the day before exploring nearby attractions with ease, thanks to the convenient tram lines.”

Excellent location and helpful staff

helpful staffconvenient locationnoisy area
the location proved very convenient as it was easy to reach many attractions. the staff demonstrated helpfulness by finding solutions concerning children during breakfast. i thought the drink voucher for not having housekeeping was a nice touch, and i appreciated it. the tram stops being right outside the hotel made getting around simple.
The hotel is in a busy area. Therefore, it was quite noisy. my room overlooked a pub beer garden. it was very noisy with music until late.

The location is central, situated near the Rembrandtplein tram stop. Trams from the main train station arrive after only two stops. Many restaurants surround the hotel for easy access to meals.

The hotel location is excellent. Trams are available and it is a short walk to the central station area and museums. The staff was helpful. Vivian was very kind upon my arrival and the room was comfortable.
I found the hotel is quite dated. The air conditioning barely worked. There was a fan in the room, and I asked for a second fan, which helped a bit. the cleanliness was very poor (i found some dust).
