Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam - Arena Towers, an IHG Hotel

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an incredibly disappointing experience. To begin with, the staff was not as friendly or welcoming as I expected. Their attitude made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a guest. Additionally, simple amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste were not available in the room. I had to go out of my way to request these basic items, which should be a given in any hotel. To make matters worse, I realized I had made an incorrect booking for August 18th-19th instead of my intended dates of July 18th-19th. When I tried to cancel and receive a full refund, I was curtly informed that I had booked a non-refundable ticket. The customer service representative was not polite or understanding about the situation, which only added to my frustration. Despite this, I still made another booking for my actual dates, but the overall experience left much to be desired. I would not recommend this hotel based on the poor service and lack of basic amenities.

Little was good but housekeeping service is little bit poor

The hotel is amazing. I recommend. Great price! Free but excellent breakfast and clean room. The staff was nice. It is a bit far from the city center, but I know the state of some hotels in the city center, so paying what I paid for a very clean and nice room and adding 20min to transport to city center was a great deal. I heard that the neighborhood would be a bit sketchy but we felt safe even at night. I'd still be careful when there is a game in arena, because you have to pass by the arena to get to the station.

Excellent stay. Will book again. All facilities were close to including supermarket.

Good environment but room service few lackings, breakfast food need be extra item

Superb location is you need to go to an event in the arena area. Loved the size of the hotel room, very comfortable. Breakfast was organised and ok spread; really appreciate the staff at breakfast too.
