Amenities & Entertainment

The Arcade Hotel Amsterdam offers publicly accessible gaming spaces with a mix of retro and contemporary consoles, including classic arcade machines and a LAN room. Guests can borrow games from a library spanning SEGA Dreamcast to PlayStation 5, and compete in regularly scheduled tournaments. The garden features a life-size chess board, while the on-site bar serves Dutch and international spirits alongside snacks.

Guest Rooms

Each room at De Pijp Boutique Hotel is custom-designed with a dedicated gaming console, ranging from retro PS1 and N64 to modern PS4 and Xbox 360, depending on the room category. Some suites offer multiple consoles, such as a Nintendo Switch plus an Xbox 360, and all rooms include a flat-screen TV and air conditioning. The Love Shack room and Family Quadruple rooms provide themed décor with Star Wars helmets and comic books.

The hotel also offers bicycle rentals for guests who prefer to explore the De Pijp neighbourhood independently.
