Amsterdam RAI B.V. Reviews

Like all other Messe, it's just so different that a safety helmet is a must that you can't work with a safety boots which fucks your feet 14 hours a day here is not normal for the management ....

CATS the musical was terribly boring. We left after the first half ended and we were amongst many other who were leaving. I have two other colleagues who both went on different days/times to see the show, and they feel the same way as I do. At the expensive cost of the tickets, I suggest you as a Theatre be more critical in in future regarding what what you show and charge the public. Having said that though, I found your facilities lovely, staff very friendly and the ease of getting to your Theatre very easy

Concert in the RAI Theater. Reasonably sound and comfortable seating.

Well situated exhibition centre with easy access to transport links

Large exhibition center with good access to public transport

We were there for the Food Festival Amsterdam. Very large exhibition center with several halls. Free entry, good signage and clean.

The RAI is indispensable from Amsterdam. Special and international exhibitions and fairs are organized here.

Unfortunately, very angular but everything else is super organized.

When you learn to use it, it's fine to leave the car and get to the center of Amsterdam in 20 minutes.
For 7 euros we had the car and we climbed the subway, round trip

I attended Microsoft Ignite convention. The event was well-organized and everything was taken care of. Very satisfied.

Metro station is in front of the main entrance, well equipped with multimedia screens, nice personnel, the only negative is lack of toilets when it's overcrowded. I give it overall 5 stars!

Went to RAI theatre... Best ranked seats were... Far less than average. Balcony, no angle, so watching the show through a jungle of heads. Show was good, theatre sucks.

Just having a corona test done, that was the only negative, ... the result then.
I was just the driver, but still, an experience.

Nice place for lunch, a coffee or a drink. Many residents of the children rich neighbourhood are here. Friendly staff and good food and beverages.

Car parked in P&R. With tram to the center. Good connection. Makes paid parking in Amsterdam affordable

Because everything is well organized here and the people have their work here

It was 2 nice days with my daughter. There were many things the same and few things that were free. The food was quite pricey. A pity, but we did enjoy ourselves. See you next x

It's a well maintained and laid out convention center

Great congress / exhibition center, but much too expensive catering prices, certainly for what you get!

Very nice to park your car here and then enter the city center, nice connection with the clean metro

Modern exhibition halls with well thought out and spacious infrastructure. They can host large exhibitions without causing a rush.

Big downs:
1) the parking entrances must be clearly named, as it is easy to get lost (not just the floors and rows, but the parking lots)
2) the price of parking
3) the narrowness of the parking spaces.

However, the parking staff are charming and help you find your car thanks to the number.

Parking during trade fairs and the like borders on scams.

Large conference center. If you want to park, discuss a day ticket in advance via the internet. Then you drive in and out on your license plate and you are cheaper!

Here at that time Horecava and deWineprofesnails going very delicate matter

A great location for a seminar, fair or meeting. Been here myself for the ISE 2018; well arranged!

Note I think that the staff (security and employees who walk around) are not aware of the halls, and therefore can not help to steer in the right direction.

Very modern and efficient area. It's outside the city centre, allowing a wide space but at the same time it's well connected to the city centre. The efficiency and the good organisation makes it a very enjoyable experience. The personal is disposable and kind.

Salon du Mets for the professionals of the Nautisme.
Excellent.

Good venue, toilets cannot cope with busy events. Reasonable walk from metro station.

Winterparade 2017. This has emerged via internet search engines "Christmas market Amsterdam". Admission 7.50 to 32.50 and then you also have to pay for everything separately. Open on Saturdays until 2 am, but after 11 pm there is nothing to do: (much too small) ice rink and most eateries are closed. So if you enter after 10 p.m. you actually pay for nothing.
In Amsterdam they apparently don't know what a Christmas market is, too bad.
Even the name "parade" or "festival" certainly does not cover this relatively overpriced event.
Skating at the Jaap Edenbaan is cheaper (from 5.80) and at Museumplein has more cachet anyway.

Very well organized space with the canal very close

I was there for a Corona test!
Not so much fun! ++

The accessibility is good. Expensive parking. I had to pay 18 for 3 hours to visit the art and antiques fair De Pan. That is expensive for Frisian standards.

ISE 2019 fair was great but infrastructure is below expectations for such an event. Too many different buildings, long walking time between interesting booths, WiFi not everywhere, difficult too locate yourself,...

A great facility with plenty of space. Almost too much space to take in, in 4 days. Toilets and cloak rooms are plenty and ample transport links

Good paybara parking opportunity to visit Amsterdam

The organization is wonderful and it's so big! I'm impressed

Speaking from the perspective of a fair visitor hosted by RAI two things annoyed me to the point where I can give this exhibition center one star only. First of all, there are not too many places where you can buy a coffee or eat something. There is even not a single vending machine present in the building (at least in the one in which the fair I attended where hosted). Perhaps RAI thinks that if they do not give people opportunity to drink and eat, they will not need to use a toilet. Too bad, they still do. So secondly, the fair building has not enough toilets (multiple stall but constantly occupied with a line of people impatiently waiting) and also, toilets are located at the ground level only whereas the fair area is at the floor above and the tickets checkin is in between. Disappointing experience.

A large and varied complex with various halls for exhibitions, events and fairs. In addition, there are also conference rooms and many parking spaces on the outside against the ring.
The entire RAI complex is adjacent to the Beatrix Park, where the pond is also located and the South beach.

Went to see the AI expo. Good experience. A must visit.
