Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
De Pijp Hotel is appreciated for its unique gaming theme, offering guests a chance to enjoy retro video games with consoles available in each room, including PlayStation 2 with a large game library to rent from. Many found the rooms spacious, some even featuring a bathtub, and equipped with Nvidia Shield TV systems for streaming services. The location is quite convenient, with proximity to the Albert Cuyp market and a park right across the street; however, some guests have noted that the single rooms do not resemble photos and are not well equipped.

retro gaming gem!

retro consolesfriendly staffkitty staffstreet noise
i loved that each room includes retro game consoles! there was also a nice selection of games i could play. the staff were all friendly and helpful, giving me local tips, though the kitty was my personal favorite.
the noise from the street was quite noticeable! even on a higher floor, it made it a little difficult to sleep well

my large double room was spacious. it even included a bath-tub. i found it priceless after sightseeing all day! the bed had super comfortable heavy linen. this ensured i had a great night's sleep. the reception was super friendly. i left my luggage while i strolled around.
my room was small. there was no room to move! the towels and the sheets weren't clean. one day i came back to a clean room. i found orange juice splattered on the wall and the table!

Excellent Stay in a Vibrant Area

easy travelcool designmisleading experience
The location was fantastic, close to a metro station for easy travel. I also liked the fun vibe of the hotel. The decorations and rooms were very cool. Reception workers were very helpful and friendly. They assisted with directions and recommendations.
The console in my room was disappointing. I could not play games. I was hoping for a different experience. This was a bit misleading. I would stay again. I would ensure a room with a fully functional console.
