Hampton by Hilton Amsterdam / Arena Boulevard

Location is the best. The hotel is basically located in an area that has a super connection to Amsterdam Centraal. The room is clean and basically serves what you need for a stay. Breakfast was OK - not super. Everything you need for breakfast is there. Perhaps our expectations are beyond that. However, comparing to other 3-star hotels, we would have expected more from Hampton by Hilton. We enjoyed the waffles though. Good sausages. We would like to thank the staff at the receptionist who accommodated the request for a birthday surprise. My partner was pleased to get a card and waffles from the hotel. It's really nice and kind.

We requested a room with a good view. The hotel replied to the message and mentioned that it would not be a problem. So based on the reply, we expected to have a view to the front of the hotel. Instead, we got a room with a view of the parking place. Another problem with the room is the shower. When taking the shower, the water didn't drain fast which caused the floor of the shower got flooded. We reported this to the receptionist the following day and she promised that it would be taken care. However, we came back and the problem was not solved. The tissue box was empty and was not refilled with the new one. Still problem with the room, during our first night, the room was cold. The heating system showed 21c but it did not feel like that at all. We reported this situation and it was fixed. Thank goodness...we did not have to sleep in cold on the second night. Tiny things that the hotel should pay more attention - We're happy to see an electric kettle in the room. However, coffee was not provided. Only on the second day, we found coffee in the room. Something tiny is missing in the bathroom - shower cap. Just wondering if it was missing OR the hotel just does not provide it. Yet...we would love to come back again and hopefully we would get a better experience next time.

- Great location. Metro is just few meters walk, which brings you just 15 min away from crowded downtown. - Great breakfast

- Thin walls, could hear almost everything outside the door. As we were so tired it didn’t disturbed much.

Location was perfect, 15 mins outside of Amsterdam Central station so far enough out not to be bothered with noise but close enough to hop on a train and be in the center of things in no time at all. Right by the IAX Stadium and on top of the train station which was fantastic. Enough restaurants and coffee shops in the area for dinner if you don't want to venture into the heart of Amsterdam. Lovely little touches such as Hot Chocolate and shortbread biscuits open for guest to munch on throughout he day. The breakfasts were fantastic. Plenty of food being topped up regularly.
