# Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam City West vs Hampton By Hilton Amsterdam Arena Boulevard

Two 8.4 pins — four-star Sloterdijk train hub against three-star Arena event base, both with POI rows and cleanliness caveats in the guest data.

## Why this pair

Same headline score, opposite daily maps. One sells Sloterdijk at 0.7 km and a four-star restaurant; the other sells Johan Cruijff ArenA at 0.1 km. That is a real either/or for Amsterdam stays.

## Verdict

Park Inn if Sloterdijk train access and four-star kit matter; Hampton if Arena events and Bijlmer ArenA at 0.2 km win — both post 8.4 with cleanliness complaints named.

Position splits west-side transport against southeast events. Park Inn puts Sloterdijk at 0.7 km and Anne Frank House at 5 km; Hampton puts Johan Cruijff ArenA at 0.1 km and Bijlmer ArenA at 0.2 km. Location scores 9.15 against 9.37 — Hampton wins the category on our figures.

Headline supplier ratings tie at 8.4 — Park Inn from 20,000 reviews, Hampton from 17,030, both captured 18 December 2025. Park Inn leads on food and beverage (8.65 against 7.86); Hampton leads on service (9.33 against 9.15) and overall experience (8.83 against 8.65).

Star class splits four-star against three-star. Park Inn lists restaurant, terrace, garden, casino and fitness; Hampton lists fitness, bar and parking garage without a full restaurant in the cited facts.

**Best for:**
- Choosing between a Sloterdijk train base and an Arena event pin at the same headline score
- Travellers weighing four-star facilities against stronger service scores at Hampton

**Not for:**
- Canal-ring doorstep trips — Rijksmuseum is 6.3–6.6 km from both
- Anyone who needs Noord hostel pricing — that is the ClinkNOORD pair
