Hotels near South-East Amsterdam - Arena in Amstelveen

Stayed here one night on IHG rewards points as a platinum member. Reception staff were super friendly, efficient and professional. The room was excellent on the 12th floor with great corner window views. Breakfast also good. I’d say this was one of the best express stays I’ve had. Sometimes this brand can be fairly low on the quality scale but this location is fantastic. Also, the let me store my bike in the luggage room of the holiday inn below.

Very cost-effective, it is also convenient to go to Giethoorn. There are Asian restaurants, Hong Kong people, electrical stores, almost no domestic products, plug in, go to the window to remember later, at least after 6 pm, remember later, Lei Feng

Not for the centre of Amsterdam at all but within sight of the arena. 15 minute walk from the arena station. Friendly staff very modern hotel, very nice room. Tv. Excellent shower air con sfe etc all good and very up to date. Offer breakfast, not much open at the arena on Sunday morning, so there is not much else in local area, so breakfast is something to consider. The staff were very helpful, multilingual, and very helpful. The bar said open till 11 but was shut way before then, but they sell beer and soft drinks through a vending machine. Really comfortable large bed. Excellent hotel.

Lot of good things about this hotel. Brilliant accessibility. One cannot ask for more. Hotel is right in front of the metro so accessibility to any place is not an issue. We even took an early morning train to the airport. Rooms were spacious with good air-conditioning. Room service was done everyday, but could have been better. Customer service was good and a no nonsense check in and check out. They even gave us some packed breakfast the day we had to leave at 4 am. And I must mention the breakfast was amazing with a huge spread and you can get almost everything. Overall the best place with value for money if you are in Amsterdam and central is hardly ten mins away by train.

We chose this hotel because it was a Metro stop from the Ziggo Dome (also of AFAS and the Ajax Stadium), or a walk of around 15/20 minutes. Also it is nearby a train station that takes you to the airport. The area doesn't have a lot of interesting things (lacks restaurants and shops) and unless you need to be in this district, it is not close to the centre. It is also quite dark and lonely at night. However, it was the cheapest hotel that seemed modern/clean in this area, so we went for it. Our room was a twin, had a decent size, a desk, TV, a fridge, a kettle (but just tea available, for coffee you had to pay downstairs), a safe, enough plugs (and close to the beds) and hangers for the clothes. The toilet was quite clean and had a good shower. Also toiletries were included, towels and a hair dryer. Breakfast was 15 Euro per person, so not cheap, but at least it was a buffet, so you had lots of pastries and also bacon, eggs, sausages, cold meats, cheeses, juices, coffee, tea and a lot of different breads. You couldn't find any place for breakfast nearby anyway. Staff was nice and helpful at the reception desk, no problems. There were construction works outside that started pretty early, so I recommend bringing some earplugs. Also, there was a “weird” note at the lift that warned the customers against bringing *********** to the hotel and noting that every guest had to be identified before going upstairs. In summary, not so cheap, but cheaper than most in the area, quite clean and modern.

Stayed at the amazing Via Amsterdam recently. First impressions were great a lady helped us massively before arrival answering all our queries in reservations and was very helpful with tips of places to visit and getting tickets etc even very helpful travel tips from the airport. We came to check in and loved the place it’s about a 10 minute walk from the local station could be done quicker once you know the route. The whole reception lay out is huge, lots of seating, games area, even it’s own cinema area. We had a very nice gentleman on check in called Bart who was lovely, he helped us with directions, booking breakfast and dining tips. We dined in the Bar called the dude and had a couple of drinks. Bar is quite expensive but nice vibe only fault we found was a very limited restaurant menu choice, we did eat the burgers (no other choice) and they are recommended but you don’t want to eat the same thing every night. Rooms are spacious but quite sp**** could do with a table and a couple of chairs to be fair so you can sit and chat. Very clean and comfy beds. Showers only and a bit small but offer free shampoo and shower gel, no towels so bring your own. Breakfast was a bit of a poor show and could do with improvements. For the amount you pay it’s not worth it. You could go into Amsterdam and buy something better for cheaper. We had seen online people complaining about not being central but honestly it’s no issue there is a metro within walking distance and takes you directly into Amsterdam central in about 15 minutes and run regularly. Overall had an fantastic stay and would highly recommend to anyone. You cannot fault the place. I did have a nightmare after checkout tho and was my only complaint as I was overcharged and tried for nearly a month to get a refund from the manager jonannes who wouldn’t speak to me because apparently he was too busy (not the best customer service from a manager) I tried calling and emailing but he just wouldn’t reply or sort the problem and other poor staff tried to make excuses for it not being sorted sooner, it was eventually sorted by someone else but after such a good stay it did leave me feeling slightly disappointed. Hopefully he has improved his customer service by now as this does not reflect on how good this place actually is.

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Arena Towers on 5 to 12 July 2022. This hotel is well placed for Airport connection (2nd stop and regular) as well as for the metro. The hotel has a basic gym' and plenty of areas to sit down and relax. The reception staff are friendly and helpful, the 2 barmen/waiters on the 1st floor restaurant/bar are by far the most efficient, friendliest and generally decent hotel staff I have come across in many years. They made the hotel extra special. I did notice the cost of the room was very high one night and found out that the Rolling Stones were playing at the nearly Ajax stadium. I would however definitely recommend the hotel and hope to return soon as, coming from the Western Isles of Scotland, there are good KLM services direct from Inverness airport. Highly recommended.

Read lots of mixed and poor reviews before going but we couldn’t fault it. The hotel is impressive as you approach. Inside is modern and clean. All staff were friendly and helpful Location wise it’s a 20 minute taxi ride away from the centre but we knew that beforehand. I suggest getting a Uber or Bolt. Bolt is cheaper. A big thank you to the gentleman on Reception, the day of departure our transfer wasn’t picking us up until 6 pm, he kindly brought up a cappuccino and a heater to keep us warm (very thoughtful)

Nice hotel with nice breakfast facilities. Very good variety of dishes, hot and cold. One comment: The coffee machine should be set at a higher temperature.

The hotel had really modern/smart technologies. It's ina really nice place in the Amsterdam right behind the tramway. Friendly staff and luxurious apartments. Great vfm.
