Quentin Arrive Hotel

The location ia really good, just a few blocks away from supermarket, train station.

Private bathroom was supposed to be included in my reservation and when I arrived there, they gave me a room with no bathroom.

Very central

Steep stairs

Incredible location, good value. Staff were so nice and welcoming. Comfy bed

Room was on the small side with nowhere to place anything once out of our backpacks but for a short stay its no big deal

The Quentin Arrive hotel is a short walk from the central station. It's hard to miss with the giant yellow letters spelling hotel on the outside of the building. Its reception and dining area have massive windows so you can take in the streets of Amsterdam and the goings on. Our room was clean with beautifully arranged sheets, lots of plug points, a desk, TV and a view of the street. Although the toilets and shower are communal there was a sink in the room and cups and soap provided. The breakfast was generous and wide ranging including bacon and eggs, fruit, bread and warm croissants, juices and coffee. Checkout was easy.

The member of staff who met us was very friendly but there was an online check in process we had to complete on arrival plus a £100 deposit though we had paid for our room in advance. Fortunately this was refunded in a couple of days. We were on the second floor with a fairly heavy suitcase and the lift was out of order but the carpeted stairs are quite had to climb with baggage. Our single glazed window opened easily and widely into the street which may be a concern for families with small children. As it was a Saturday night we could hear people enjoying themselves all around the locality. Each door slams loudly when closed and after midnight there were doors slamming and being banged on frequently.
