This is an excellent hotel for attending shows at the Johan Cruiff Arena, which is just 10 minutes walk. It's a 30 minute direct bus ride from the airport, and getting into the city centre is easy on the Metro.

Hotel itself is very clean - rooms are well appointed with a comfortable bed, an excellent shower and very fast wifi, and I slept extremely well. Breakfast was very good (except for the usual awful hotel toaster which barely warms the bread!) and every member of staff I met was very pleasant.

Overall, I probably wouldn't stay here if I was visiting for a city break as there are better located hotels, but for the concerts I was attending this was perfect.

First time leave a negative feedback. I always book holiday inn on my vacations. but this one I stayed two nights, not meet my expect:
1. Outside road still on construction, if you following Google map navigation, you will never reach the hotel. I followed the sign outside, and go around couple times, finally find the parking entrance.
2. the Air condition was not working, under maintenance.
3. I paid about 400 euros per night. When I booked this holiday inn, did not notice breakfast not included. which all other holiday Inns I stayed did include. I assume this one also include. of course parking is additional pay.

Everything was great with the staff the cleanliness and the hotel. A few of the down sides, when we got there we got a city tax, it caught me by surprise. It probably says it somewhere in the documentation, but maybe as a UX they should let you know a bit more proactively. Also there is a construction next to the hotel as the writing of this review and they started to work at 7 am.

Great location for the Ziggo Dome

We had a problem straight away at check-in. We had booked a twin room in advance but on arrival we were told that there were more twins available, only one double. As we were friends and not a couple then this was not suitable. It was frustrating that the hotel had effectively given away our room!
Fortunately, the staff were able to resolve the problem by finding a twin room in the adjacent hotel which was connected and they gave us free breakfast vouchers.

Otherwise, the hotel was perfect for our needs, comfortable and very close the the Arena which was the purpose of our stay.

It was expensive, but comparable to the other hotels in the area.

Black & brown people should avoid

I moved to this hotel from another solely because it is within walking distance to the arena the concert I attended. Check was phenomenal despite the renovations that are happening presently. However, the restaurant staff and service was absolutely AWFUL! Having to motion for one’s attention for cutlery & a menu was only the start…from there I had to walk to the bar to request someone come to take my order. I watched everyone Caucasian person around me be waited on and serviced while my friend and I sat.

I could go on for days about this but I’ll spare you. Just a warning for Black and brown people avoid this hotel or proceed with caution knowing you will be stereotyped and treated horribly. I would attach the GM’s card…because you’ll need it if you choose to go but it goes against community guidelines for Hotels.com imagine that?!?!

Overall I rate my time in Amsterdam as a 4.5/10 with this hotel being a strong reason it’s not higher.

Great two-night stay at the Holiday Inn Arena Towers. Super convenient for the Ziggo Dome, AFAS and Ajax stadium, and 10 minutes walk to metro/train station. Easy to get to the centre of Amsterdam but there are also shops and bars/restaurants near to the arenas.
Lovely clean room, very comfortable bed/pillows. Very nice bathroom with a big shower. The room had good facilities - iron, hairdryer, coffee making, TV with all the UK channels - much appreciated as a solo traveller. I paid for breakfast one morning which was also good, with lots of choice. Restaurant and communal areas are very pleasant and stylish.
The staff were helpful and very friendly on check in/check out - and the free chocolate was very welcome! I hope to stay again next year.

Ongoing construction work in front of the hotel

Booked for 2 nights, didn't know construction work was going on right in front of the hotel. Our room was on the first floor and were awaken by a loud, rythmic thumping noise that made the floor shake. Couldn't go back to sleep, and the noose persisted intermittently through the day, so it was difficult to work from the hotel room. We had to ask to move rooms, which the hotel agreed to. The new room was much better. We wonder why the hotel didn't think of placing us there initially, since they said they were aware of the disturbance cause by the construction work, and the noise was audible from the reception. Staff was overall nice, bathroom was very clean.

Great hotel, but parking was a mess

We have stayed here before. Super close to the arena since we were there for an event. About a 20 minute drive to the city. The train is nearby but it was over an hour to get to where we wanted. Breakfast had a good selection and all employee were super nice. Downside was water pressure. It was so slow and it took twice as long to shower. And also the parking situation. We arrived to the parking lot the first evening and they had even parking there. We showed them our ticket and room key but nothing came from it. We didn't have to pay again but we got treated like other people who weren't guests. We got ushered to the back of the parking lot and there were plenty of spots open near the front of the hotel. Very frustrating since we should have been given priority and they should've removed the cones to let us pass since we were actual guests and not attending the event that night. I hope they improve this. But otherwise I would stay again.

Amazing hotel, amazing stuff, would defo stay here again. Me and my mum went to a concert in Amsterdam and needed something that was near the Ziggo Dome so after looking decided this one was the best choice- it was within budget, close walk to the stadium and looked pretty decent. Upon arrival, we had a quick check in and were told the basics about the hotel. The room was absolutely amazing, and better than the images- with a safe and mini fridge. The second day we did not know what to do so phone the reception who told us some cool hotspots to visit and gave us information about travelling. The lady at reception was even kind enough to print the city map out, circling and listing all of the places she told us about. Me and my mum decided to go the city, which was 15/20 minutes on train from the hotel (perfect location), and what is even better is that the train station was close to the hotel. Once we reached our hotel room that night we found a cute note from the room cleaners. Everything about this hotel seemed to be perfect (even giving us free milk at 1am when we needed it).

Overview:
- In short distance of shops (lidl), venues and transport
- 30 minutes by bus to the airport
- The staff are amazing
- The rooms are superb
- The level of cleanliness was above expected.
- Would 10000% recommend anyone to stay here, wether you are there for a concert (Ziggo dome 5 mins from the hotel) or to visit the city centre (1hr by car - 15/20mins by train)
