What people say about us

”Many (ex) students now work in key positions within the organization of Leonardo & Apollo Hotels. Often started as a trainee and progressed to middle management positions and as GM. It is precisely the cooperation and involvement on both sides that make us happy to work with NHL Stenden and its students.

Alexander KluitManaging Director – Leonardo Hotels Benelux

”Hotel Management School NHL Stenden students & alumni can be defined by their humbleness, eagerness and gratitude to develop themselves in any type of industry and/or company structure/size/environment. For this reason we’re always keen to bring them into our ever growing Hilton organization.

Björn OlthofDirector Recruitment Operations EMEA – Hilton

”I enjoy working with HMS NHLS Stenden as the collaboration with both faculty members and students is a professional one. The students are eager, respectful, and up-to-date regarding the latest trends in the hospitality industry.

Tanya van der HeijdenTalent, Learning and Development Manager Northern Europe – NH Hotel Group

”Working with Hotel Management School NHL Stenden over the years has been a bliss. Their thorough evaluation process to identify the best candidates for the Revenue Management internship position has ensured we always work with the most driven and like-minded students.
