Fancy a few days exploring Amsterdam, a weekend in Rotterdam or a relaxing break in Maastricht? NH Hotels has properties in some of Europe's most popular cities, making the hotel group a great option for a short trip abroad. From comfortable rooms near busy city centres to hotels within easy reach of major attractions, there's plenty to choose from.
If you've been given a Hotelgiftcard, you may be able to use it towards your next stay at NH Hotels. But before you pack your bags, it's worth knowing how the booking process works and which properties accept the voucher.
Here's what you need to know.
A Hotelgiftcard is a hotel gift voucher that can be redeemed for accommodation at participating properties around the world. You choose the amount when purchasing the card, while the recipient gets to pick their own destination and travel dates. In the UK, Hotelgiftcards are valid for two years. There's no need to spend the entire balance in one go, either, as any unused credit remains available for a future booking.

Yes, you can use your Hotelgiftcard to book a stay at selected NH Hotels. However, there's one important condition: all bookings must be made through Hotelgiftcard.com.
You cannot use your gift voucher to pay at the hotel reception, nor can you apply it to a reservation made directly with NH Hotels.
There are participating properties in a number of Dutch cities, including The Hague, Utrecht, Groningen and Rotterdam. You may also find hotels elsewhere in Europe, such as NH Collection Gent in Belgium.
Whether you're planning a sightseeing trip, a romantic weekend or a few days away with friends, your Hotelgiftcard could help you make the most of your next European break.
Please keep in mind: Not every NH hotel is included in the Hotelgiftcard selection. Check the website to see which properties can be booked before making any travel arrangements.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay, the following properties are among the NH Hotels you may be able to book:
The selection of available hotels and rooms can vary throughout the year. To find out what's currently on offer, browse the accommodation options on Hotelgiftcard.com and enter your preferred dates.
You can redeem your Hotelgiftcard when booking your accommodation online. There's no need to contact the hotel or arrange a separate gift voucher payment.
Here's how it works:
You'll receive a booking confirmation once everything is complete. When you arrive at your NH hotel, your gift voucher payment will already have been taken care of.

Your Hotelgiftcard can be used to pay towards accommodation, whether you're booking a one-night stay, a weekend away or a longer city break.
Depending on the options available through Hotelgiftcard, you might also be able to book a hotel package or choose an upgraded room.
There are a few things your gift card won't cover, though. You can't use it to settle separate bills at the hotel, such as drinks from the bar, meals in the restaurant or room service.
Only the services included in your reservation through Hotelgiftcard.com can be paid for using your gift card.
Yes. If you've got several Hotelgiftcards, you can use their combined value towards a single reservation. During checkout, simply enter the details of each voucher. The available balances will be added together and deducted from your booking total.
If your vouchers don't quite cover the cost, you can pay the outstanding amount using another accepted payment method, such as a debit or credit card.
Can I redeem my Hotelgiftcard at an NH hotel reception?
No. You must redeem your Hotelgiftcard when making a booking through Hotelgiftcard.com. It cannot be used as a payment method at the hotel itself.
How do I book NH Hotels using my Hotelgiftcard?
Visit Hotelgiftcard.com, find a participating NH hotel and select your dates and room. You can then redeem your voucher during checkout. If you'd like some extra guidance, watch the video on our How to book page.
Do all NH Hotels accept Hotelgiftcard bookings?
No. Only the properties available through Hotelgiftcard.com can be booked using your voucher.
Can I pay for meals or drinks with my Hotelgiftcard?
Not separately at the hotel. However, if meals are included in a package booked through Hotelgiftcard, they can form part of the amount paid with your voucher.
Can I make a last-minute booking?
Yes, as long as there's a participating hotel with availability for your chosen dates. You can check and book directly online.
Will I lose any money left on my Hotelgiftcard?
No. Any remaining balance stays on your card and can be used for another booking before it expires. UK Hotelgiftcards are normally valid for two years.
