    Small rooms are really small but it is Amsterdam and for the price if you do not spend too much time in your room it is enough. I would get bigger one next time.

    Great location and neighbourhood, good staff

    Great location, nice neighborhood. Don't get small rooms.

    My room was tiny! I did book the "Small Double Room" but definitely did not expect that small. I wish I'd noticed before my stay, I would've gotten a bigger one. My husband and I basically had to "move out of the way" for each other, the only space to go from the bed to the bathroom was a tiny space only one person can walk at the same time. Each room gets a videogame console, we got a PS1, needless to say it barely worked lol and the games kept crashing.

    Location was great, near the metro to go anywhere. Also in walking distance of Rijksmuseum, and Van Gogh Museum. It's a nice neighborhood so it felt safe. De Pijp is very nice to walk around and has good areas for food and grocery stores. The Arcade hotel has a very nice backyard where you can smoke , and just enjoy the trees and birds. You can also play giant chess. The hotel has elevator, just very small. I think it's very cool how the decoration is about videogames, I recommend this place for the location mostly. Bathroom with hot water, there was a fan, no AC.

    Noise insulation between the rooms is not thought out, you can hear the neighbors talking, you need to use earplugs.

    Great location, comfortable room for 1 person. I personally found the mattress soft, but this is a personal preference.

    First and foremost: You cannot open any windows which drove me crazy as someone who needs fresh air. Small rooms and could be cleaner. Breakfast is served as completely disposable package (you get a bag of breakfast) instead of a more standard buffet.

    Gaming themed, cosy bed, friendly staff, absolutely GREAT location

    The beddings as it was not tucked in the bed so it keeps on falling. Sort of malfunction in the toilet flush. Lights are dim.

    Location is convenient like 5-7 mins away from metro and tram. Room is small but most important is it was clean. Staff are polite and I would like to commend the staff who helped me carry my luggage (the one serving the breakfast). Thanks again! Wifi is fast. With Blower and toiletries which are important for me ☺️

    Stairway is a bit steep on not so luggage friendly, but luckily all I had was my travel backpack. Walls are kind of thin so make sure to bring ear plugs

    Awesome work staff, very helpful and insightful about Amsterdam. Gave really good recommendations on restaurants, museums, apps to download for certain things. The best part is the arcade and computer room. FIBRE OPTIC INTERNET, need I say more? I'll be looking forward to visiting again! -Barney

    As expected. Relaxed and very easy accommodation. Suitable for families or non families.

    Two consoles were provided. We were particularly keen on playing the old console for nostalgia and to show our kids and because the old games are more multiplayer. We got a PlayStation 4 which worked fine but only one multiplayer game available; and a Nintendo 64 which sadly didn't work. They arranged replacement which was great but sadly the old games seem to have done their dash and not entirely playable. Still, no surprise for such old consoles and staff did what they could to assist.

    The atmosphere was good - staff very easy going with excellent English. Room was as advertised and expected. Breakfast was very easy to arrange via card completed and handed in each evening with adequate choice available and decent elements. Close to some nice and reasonably priced places to eat.

    The shower pressure was quite weak even though I was on the 4th floor. The bed was a bit noisy, but other than that everything was pretty great in my opinion. Ah, some of the arcade machines were not working properly, so maybe some extra maintenance is needed!

    I got a small but cozy room, with a PS2 to keep me company. The decoration was what I expected of a game/geek themed hotel. The bed was comfortable (a bit noisy though), great selection of games everywhere, and easy access too.

    Noisy! You could literally every conversation from downstairs in the room we stayed in due to it’s close location to the stairs. The room could definitely do with some noise proofing and got woke up multiple times from other guests. The rooms weren’t particularly well cleaned with dust everywhere especially round the back of the console which you had to get down and change over as not many plugs available.

    The arcade aspect was really cool and the games consoles in the room were good along with a good catalog of games! Location was great - 5 minute walk from metro and was super handy to get around Staff were all lovely and check in and out was very easy. The shower was lovely!

    There was a slight problem we think with the windows in our room but didn’t bother us so that we forgot to mention it during the trip.

    The Location and the hotel were practically perfect for my brothers, sister and myself. We like retro games and it was still fairly close from the city center. The beds were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly.

    Rooms were on the smaller side, not the best for for a 6ft+ person! Could have been cleaner. Plug socket didn't work and hair dryer was smoking when turned on but got replaced the next day.

    Staff were friendly, good location, nice hotel for price, would use again for a quick stop over. Ideal for gamers! Cool and original idea. Can get the number 4 tram in to main centre in 10 mins.

    You can't open the window so the place gets too hot and it's impossible to stay inside comfortably.

    Room was nice and clean. Very central and in the cool neighbourhood of De Pijp. Also, very close to the metro station.

    Price is on the high side, 300+ euro for family room for one night.

    The family room with park view is spacious, (2 screens for game play or movie watching), beds are comfortable and shower is just right. Breakfast for 10 euro pp is effective, but dont expect a buffet. Team is very kind and helpful. There are many breakfast, lunch and diner facilities within walking distance (including the famous Albert cuyp market).
