Hampton by Hilton Amsterdam Arena {NLD}
Some trivia about this Hampton by Hilton:
- Very large and comfortable lounge area, highly popular with guests.
- Real pottery dishes and mugs at breakfast.
- Coffee at breakfast is only so-so.
- Bedrooms also have real mugs and drinking glasses.
- Modern bathroom, luxury items like heated mirror, toilet has a soft close lid.
- In room-safe (it's hard to find, hidden inside of nightstand).
- No in-room fridges or microwaves though.
- On-site bar, with
Heineken Beer now Grolsch on tap. Hilton-like pricing though. Also serves some food (like pizza, wraps and lasagna, at less than 10 euro).
- Nearby Arena railway station has a grab and go supermarket, with fresh bakery items. Open until 11pm (10pm Sun), subject to change.
- Sixth floor rooms have windows full width of the room. Views are best on the station side.
- Queen rooms are on the back side of the building (except one), Twin rooms are on front, slightly larger.
- Many American franchise brand fast-food restaurants nearby, even a Cinnabon. Besides, also a number of regular restaurants are present.
- Many regular shops nearby, but most close before dinner time. Thursday night has late night shopping (late = 9 pm). Large sports+outdoors / large electronics store are open every weeknight and on Sundays though.
Very disappointing Now fair 10 Mbit internet speed even more so because one of the world's primary internet backbones is located less then a mile from here.- Nearby Ziggo Dome, AFAS Live (formerly Heineken Music Hall) and Arena stadium. All can be reached on foot.
