Hampton by Hilton Amsterdam / Arena Boulevard - Amsterdam

I had the best time here. The breakfast is excellent and the most amazing variety, even your very own waffle making machine! The hotel room was super clean and the beds were comfortable. Just a train ride away from the city and there are lots of eateries and shopping places within a 1-min walk. Would definitely come here to stay again no doubt :)

This hotel is fairly new, clean and comfortable. The only thing is that the room is not soundproof, walls and doors are rather thin. The breakfast is decent but can be boring after 2 days. Security wise was good as well, as we were there for AMF, the hotel has imposed a lock down on the entrance door and will only open to hotel guest. Good location for people who has business around the Arena and it is literally 1min walk from the train/metro station. 15mins away airport and Centraal Station by train and metro.

The room was clean and comfortable. Hotel reception staff is friendly, professional and polite. Hotel buffet breakfast had pretty much the same options every day, but I especially loved the poffertjes (Dutch pancakes), muffins and waffles. Cleaning staff was also attentive - when I was in my room and the cleaning staff could not clean the room, they would leave a bag of toiletries on the door. The local area is rather peaceful except when there are matches at the ArenA, as there are several outlet stores nearby, it is good for some shopping too. The hotel is less than 5 minutes away from the Bilmer Arena station, which makes it convenient for travelling around Amsterdam/Netherlands as well. The hotel wifi can be very slow at in the morning and at night, probably because that is when most of the guests return to their rooms. This makes it inconvenient for business travellers who would want to check their emails at these times. In addition, on the first night of our stay, we were abruptly woken up at about 4am (local time) by an announcement telling us to evacuate the hotel, only to find out it was a false alarm when we headed downstairs with several other guests. The hotel staff could have immediately broadcasted an announcement to reassure the guests that it was a false alarm rather than have so many of us head downstairs to enquire. Besides the slow wifi and the disrupted sleep on the first night, our stay was pleasant.

The Train station Amsterdam Bijlmer AreanA is one of the key train stations like Amstel or AMS so it's pretty convenient to get to any other cities if you are thinking of hopping outside of Amsterdam while having just a couple of days in the city. Although there's not much in the area as compared to the heart of Amsterdam (Canal Area), I appreciate the peace and quiet as I make my way back to hotel every evening after a long day. It's like going home. Reception staff are friendly and warm, special mention to Ms Marise for her daily assistance to advise me on transport options to get to destinations that I would like to go. Thank you so much. It's a comfortable stay after all.

The best you can expect from amsterdam. Amazing hotel with perfect location and excellent service.
