Really comfortable and good experience. We were offered a room on the 17th floor and it had stunning views!

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an incredibly disappointing experience. To begin with, the staff was not as friendly or welcoming as I expected. Their attitude made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a guest.
Additionally, simple amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste were not available in the room. I had to go out of my way to request these basic items, which should be a given in any hotel.
To make matters worse, I realized I had made an incorrect booking for August 18th-19th instead of my intended dates of July 18th-19th. When I tried to cancel and receive a full refund, I was curtly informed that I had booked a non-refundable ticket. The customer service representative was not polite or understanding about the situation, which only added to my frustration.
Despite this, I still made another booking for my actual dates, but the overall experience left much to be desired. I would not recommend this hotel based on the poor service and lack of basic amenities.

it was a truly peaceful experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and ensured everything was seamless. The room was spotless, spacious, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay

Amazing hotel, station is nearby, neighbourhood is good! best thing was that they gave us an early checkin aa soon as we arrived and it was very much required after a night of travelling.
The room and washroom are clean with an amazing view from the windows. The people at rhe reception were warl and welcoming. We were also allowed to leave our luggage at the hotel till night after checkout without any charges.

The hotel is amazing. I recommend. Great price! Free but excellent breakfast and clean room. The staff was nice. It is a bit far from the city center, but I know the state of some hotels in the city center, so paying what I paid for a very clean and nice room and adding 20min to transport to city center was a great deal. I heard that the neighborhood would be a bit sketchy but we felt safe even at night. I'd still be careful when there is a game in arena, because you have to pass by the arena to get to the station.

Breakfast! Thats really good! Also the staff are friendly and helpful. I can even put my luggage there after checkout! Such a great hotel!
The room is big enough and quiet. The only not so good part is theres no lock on the toilet door.

I requested for a quiet room, away from the elevator, as I am a light sleeper and the staff were very accommodating. They allocated me to a room that was at the end of the hall. However, although ambient noise was low, the room was subject to quite a lot of structural noises every now and then. But it was quiet at night so that was fine.
The breakfast is awesome. Staff at the breakfast hall is amazing and very responsive.
The soap bottle in the shower was actually empty. The housekeeping knocked on my door at about 7 plus in the evening the next day after checking in, asking if I wanted to service my room. I was quite surprised because I thought housekeeping is usually done in the morning or afternoon when guests are most likely to be out.
Nonetheless it was a good stay and I would consider staying here again if I’m in the area the next time.

Surprisingly, I had a disappointing experience at Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam Arena Towers. The front desk staff was somewhat dismissive and the breakfast was not up to par with other Express locations. Otherwise, the rooms are of typical small-ish European size and comfortable. Note that unlike other international hotels, they don't provide power adapters in the room nor at the front desk (you can purchase one in the kiosk). The location is conveniently located close to the Arena, which means trains and ample fast food choices. It's not a bad choice even if you have to invest roughly half an hour by train to get to downtown Amsterdam.
