The hotel was in a convenient location for my purposes. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. My room was on the street side and so a little loud. Check-in and check-out were quick and I felt safe as a solo female traveler.

For a short stay nice hotel. Room was very small but with everything you need and clean. Room was 1st floor to the street, so it was noisy, but acceptable for me ( and 1 night)

Arcade Hotel Amsterdam June 2024
Very special hotel focused on retro video gaming, with two consuls in each room and a lot of retro games. I was brought back 35 years and loved it. Positive: Clean room, near to central Amsterdam (20 minutes walk), good service. Negative: no real parking solution in the vicinity, breakfast was a bit too plain, but functional.

Very cool & hip property! Rooms were spacious and equipped with fun self-controlled multi-colored LED lights and video game systems. Breakfast deal was well worth the money as was the late checkout option. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Located across from a beautiful park and close to transportation options or pleasant walk to many tourist attractions. Heated towel rack and rain shower head in the bathroom were also pretty awesome.

Nice location. Rooms were very tiny, not big enough to open suitcases. Kind of like for a hobbit. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom adequate but small. Looks somewhat rundown. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Place to store luggage if checking out early. Walkable to museums, stores nearby, trams.

This is a cool spot. It was a little too mature for a 9 year old and a 5 year old. Lobby was smoky and clientele was older with few families around. Staff was very helpful and accommodating, but the 2 video game consoles in our room didn’t work, which was a bummer because it could not be fixed the day of our stay. Breakfast was awesome for 10 Euro. I’d stay again under different circumstances.

Very unique hotel in Amsterdam, extremely close to city centre around 3 stops with the metro. Only downside is that there was one specific member of staff named Julien who was extremely rude, when asked if we could retrieve our luggage from the storage room he told us to wait, we was already running on a tight schedule he made us wait 20 minutes whilst he sat with his feet up on his desk having a conversation on his mobile phone with someone, in my opinion this is unacceptable and very rude. Hotel is VERY noisy in the mornings so if you don’t like being woken up with noise in the early hours probably best to pick another hotel.

The coolest hotel in Amsterdam
I've never been someone who wants to remain in my hotel when I travel - but this place is the exception. The room I stayed in (the love shack) was basic but comfortable and had plenty of storage for my bags. The place was a bit noisy but earplugs were provided free of charge. The location is perfect for navigating the city: you can walk to the centre of the city in half an hour. Plenty of public transport options too - or you can rent a bike from the hotel, which is a great idea. There are plenty of great places to eat nearby and the park is beautiful. The staff at the Arcade Hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful, there is a great selection of video games to play (and comics to read!), and the kitchen served some of the best food I ate during my visit to Amsterdam. There is also a very friendly cat who hangs out too :) I would definitely return here - if you've seen the sights of the city and want a chilled out but exciting place to stay, this is the place. Don't miss out!
