Travel to Arkel

Excellent service from Reception however very lacking in the dining room as well as the limited menu. Also only one out of three lifts was working.

The hotel has probably seen better days, as it's a little tired and pricey (Amsterdam is not cheap for accommodation) but it was a good location, just outside the centre and walkable. There are regular trams a few minutes away. We stayed in the large penthouse and it was good for what we required, with a large too floor patio overlooking towards the centre. Staff are great and helpful. Even though it's a bit tired, I'd still recommend staying.

I liked the free shuttle to the airport and the food in the bar. The only complaint about the hotel was there was no lotion in the bathroom. But other than that, I would say it is a very good place to spend the night before you fly out of Amsterdam.

We loved the spacious room with a nice hot shower and comfy bed. However, it was very hot for our stay there and there was no AC. Luckily, there was an old tower unit in the room that we were able to rig so we could stay comfortable. Otherwise, it would've been long noisy nights since the suites are situated on the street instead of the canal. We did appreciate the unlimited free drinks and now that they are installing AC, we will stay here again. They are a distance from the attractions, but easily walkable and plenty of nearby transportation options.
