Art’otel

I spent a week here for work and I’ll be back! The staff is so fun, they learn you name, they always are looking out for you and you know you’ll always be taken care of!
The rooms are hip, each with a different lighting scheme, privacy glass and fantastic décor.
Be sure while your there to rent one of there bikes and be a local for the day!

I love this hotel. It’s been two years since my visit and my friend and I both talk about it!
The hotel itself is right across from the train station which was glorious when we arrived in the later evening via train from the airport. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The common areas were lively. It seems locals visit the bar for drinks and dinners. The food is amazing! I still want the octopus two years later. Yes the hotel has a sex theme which might offend some. I found it to be hilarious considering how close to the red light district you are. This is Amsterdam after all and sperm sculptures in the courtyard definitely make sense here.
The rooms were large and modern. Added bonus for me as they had ABBA on demand which drove my friend nuts. The bathroom was mostly red glass and the amenities were nice.
My only regret was not staying longer.

Art’otel is the best. Just the best.
We stayed here for two days, and it’s literally one of my favorite hotel experiences ever!
LOCATION
The hotel is literally across the street from Central Station, so whether you’re flying or training in its ridiculously easy to navigate to. While you’re there it’s walking distance from all your favorite Amsterdam attractions and a ton of great bars. It can’t be beat for convenience.
BREAKFAST
You get free breakfast… I mean come on. I’m Asian, I can’t help but love free stuff. The wait staff are all lovely, and you can pick through the buffet or have eggs made freshly for you! Slight warning– the omelette presentation is interesting but not offensive. The eggs are beaten heavily and then served by itself. All traditional mix ins are served separately. The coffee is tasty, but we agreed it was low in caffeine. But hey– it’s free!
ROOMS
Man the rooms are fantastic. Gorgeous lighting, beautiful amenities and high end toiletries. No rock is left unturned! They have everything from Elermis q-​tips and soaps to a lovely nighttime aromatic pillow spray. They even give you a mini Elermis lip balm! Need more towels? Our floor had a permanent toiletry cart so you can grab what you need at will. And the coffee machine. Oh my. It was amazing to have fantastic espresso right in your room! The jasmine green tea was also amazing, I wish I had brought some home :)
STAFF
Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. Like almost uncomfortably nice. They were seriously the best.
CROWD
It’s funny because on Trip Advisor some people cry about how this hotel has identity problems, but I don’t think so. The crowd is generally young and sexy, but it doesn’t feel smutty. This is perfect for young professionals who are NOT okay with hostels, but who don’t mind the cheeky artwork/​nod to what Amsterdam is famous for. You are just steps away from the red light district, after all
I can’t say enough good things about this place. So so recommended if you’re staying in Amsterdam!

Some oddball design elements here, but most of it they get right. The staff was ON POINT though and you can’t beat that. The facility has a great gym in it and the location is great for not getting lost.

Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and stylish. Amenities are good, as well. Hotel has excellent ambiance and décor, and the bar boasts a fantastic club scene. Breakfast is varied and high quality, and the location couldn’t be better. Definitely stay here.

We stayed here in October. The hotel is located literally metres from Centraal station, so superb for domestic and international travellers alike (20 mins by train from Schipol airport).
The hotel is within a short walk of central areas, Dam Square, Damrak, Red Light District and canals/​coffeeshops are all under 5 minutes walk away.
Inside, lots of high ceilings, luxurious furnishings and quirky artwork everywhere, there is always something interesting to look at. Absolutely stunning bar/​restaurant area with lots of moody lighting and flames making up very nice looking fixtures and sculptures.
The room itself, WOW. We stayed in the art room with iconic view of the station. There are complimentary Elemis toiletries, and lovely free teas and coffees. The room has different light setings to suit your mood and free wi-​fi. The bed was divine, the best I’ve ever slept in… luxurious sheets, extra large bed. Blackout curtains too.
Breakfast is included, cooked to order by the talented chefs.
Absolutely fantastic stay, we will be back. Visit now!

Gorgeous, clean and beautifully designed hotel! Super friendly and profesional staff. Absolutely PERFECT location! Amazing experience. Loved staying here and would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Amsterdam– you won’t be disappointed!

Loved the Art’otel. It reminds us of the 21C in Louisville. Did Marsha’s shady boyfriend steal their playbook?
Perfect location. If you take the train from Schiphol to Centraal Station, you just walk across the street to the hotel. You can board trams, canal boats and buses right there as you explore the city. Staff can hook you up with attraction passes if you need them. Their concierge was great and provided us with a lot of good tips and insight.
We had a big room at the end of the hall that faced the station. It wasn’t loud at all. Relaxing king bed, desk and chairs, iron and board, safe, flatscreen tv, robes, slippers, soaker tub, rain shower, large sink area and an espresso machine. In short, all you’ll need. Housekeeping was spotty, but nothing that would give us a moment of hesitation at returning for another stay.
Breakfast was included at the hotel restaurant. It was the same each day, which could be shaken up for some variety. The dinner we had here at 5&33 was one of the best of our trip and not to be missed.
Modern art touches all around the hotel and a lower level gallery to explore.

How I love this hotel! I had several drinks there, spend one night here, and enjoyed the dinner there twice, and I will be back!
For food lovers: you MUST try the ox cheeks. Delish!

Art’otel was by far the best hotel we stayed in on our 2 week trip. I love the modern and fun décor and the incredibly comfortable bed. The hip vibe might not be for everyone; it does seem to suit Amsterdam very well. We were offered head-​of-​the-​line passes to major attractions when we checked in and although we didn’t get to use it, I thought that it was a nice touch. While the room was not large, it was perfectly designed and had everything you need and little touches that you wouldn’t expect. My favorite part was the cute «peekaboo» switch between the bedroom and bathroom area.
Breakfast was included and consisted of a very good buffet of pastries, cheeses, fruits, and cereals as well as made to order hot items such as eggs, bacon, and sausage. On our last day, we had to catch an early train and the kitchen prepared a lovely to-​go box for us with fresh croissants.
The hotel is located directly across from the train station, which is excellent because of the easy access to other European cities, the airport (15 min train ride from airport to train station) and local public transportation (basically all local trams stopped at the train station). It’s also a 5 – 10 minute walk to the Red Light District, Dam Square, and many other points of interest.
We were very satisfied with our stay, which we booked with Club Carlson points through a co-​branded credit card. It was a very good value for our points (although less so now since there has been a recent devaluation) given the high nightly price of the hotel.
