“This spot stands out with its dedication to video gaming, offering a playful twist on accommodations near Sarphati Park. I think it's particularly appealing for those seeking a lively, community-focused stay, especially given its proximity to Amsterdam's cultural hubs. However, light sleepers should request a room away from the street.”

The spacious rooms, some including a bathtub, offer comfortable beds and a good night's sleep.

The staff was EXTREMELY friendly. The arcade room was also super cool.
Unfortunately, a lot of noise came into the room. It was nearly impossible to sleep. Any conversation or movement of furniture was clearly heard at night. The room itself was small.
