Hotel Arena — Amsterdam

Husband and I were amazed at the hotel decor upon walking into the hotel. Front desk was friendly and told us that we were upgraded to a studio room because they were overbooked. Room was AMAZING; very spacious and simple yet had the contemporary feel. My other friends called us and wanted to see how different our rooms were (they were also upgraded). […] Their room was blocked off differently but still had the tasteful decor. Beds were very soft and was very clean. Would love to stay here again! Uzziniet vairāk

Loved this hotel, really quirky and interesting and despite Amsterdam being a incredibly expensive city, this hotel is terrified value and very close to two different trams which make getting around the city incredibly easy.

The room that we stayed in was very spacious and comfortable, over two floors. It is really close to the tramlines which take you to the city center. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We decided that we wanted a Christmas with a difference so we decided upon Amsterdam; a place we had both visited before and one that we thought would deliver everything we wanted. The Hotel Arena was a lovely hotel, located far close enough to the city centre but far enough to enjoy a quiet stay. Upon arriving, I was very happy with the hotel, staff […] very friendly and willing to help. However, the air-con in our room wasn't working and neither were the lights.....the staff moved us rooms no problems to a better room. The room was never cleaned and we had to request for this to happen. When if was cleaned, this consisted of pulling the sheets up!! All in all a reasonable stay, can't fault the reception staff but not sure would re-visit. Uzziniet vairāk

I did enjoy the stay at the Hotel Arena. The location was outside of the City Center, but transportation there was convenient (trams and Metro close). There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby and within walking distance. Some other random comments as you make your hotel decision: 1. I had booked a suite, but was given a standard room […] at first. The front desk staff fixed this issue immediately and told me that Expedia had given them the wrong information. (My advice: Bring your booking/reservation materials!) 2. I used the Connexion Shuttle Service to the Hotel and it was easy and convenient. I would recommend this. 3. The room had a distinctive odor to it when we arrived (sewer gas smell). I chose not to bring this to the attention of the hotel staff. It got better as we used the room over the four days. 4. You can purchase public transportation tickets (24, 48, or 72 hour passes) from the front desk. 5. I thought the breakfast buffet was large with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, breads, meat, cheeses, juices, and danish. It was all delicious. 6. The pictures make the hotel look a bit nicer than it actual was. They did seem to be working a lot (i.e. painting) on the structure. 7. It was nice having the restaurant and bar onsite. Ate dinner at the hotel one night and it was very good. 8. The heat did not seem to be working in the room. The Manager looked at it twice and did bring us an electric heater. 9. The price was a bit high for what I expected. Uzziniet vairāk

Lofty room, good price and in a quiet neighborhood but really close to the red light district ...10 min public transportation ride or 20 min walk.

Our stay at the Hotel Arena was wonderful. The hotel is beautiful, and the customer service is great! We liked the location of the hotel because the hotel was away from the busy tourist areas. The Tram stop was a two minute walk away that took us quickly to our daily destinations. We would definitely stay at this hotel again!

I thought the room was too narrow and claustraphobic and why do I have to pay 25 euro per night to park my car???? The food in the hotel bar was awful. On the positive side, the room was clean and the staff where lovely.

The Hotel Arena is located a convenient 2 blocks or so from the 9 which goes to the central train station and the downtown tourist areas. The rooms are stylish and well appointed and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a comfortable one. The only minor issue I could see a guest having is that the rooms aren't particularly well […] soundproofed. You might want to ask for a corner room or one at the end of a hallway. It's a really minor issue though. I'd definitely recommend the Arena if you're spending some time in Amsterdam. Uzziniet vairāk

It was a very spacious room and the hotel was situated in a lovely part of Amsterdam. The easiest way to get there is to take the number 9 tram and walk down to the hotel from Plantage Laan. The hotel is situated near Ooster Park, which is lovely and an Albert Heijn (supermarket) in Sarphati straat for when you want to have a picnic. There is also a […] Bagels n Beans about 2 blocks down from the hotel on Ruyschstraat, which is a great little spot. It was very pleasant stay. Uzziniet vairāk

The hotel was gorgeous and the room was unusual, it was a really great stay . The only negative point was that the breakfast was not included and too expensive 18eur. ( we didn t took it) . I recommend this hotel, espacially for couple, it s a romantic place.

Hotel staff upon arrival were most helpful. As we arrived on a Friday, they offered to put us on the guestlist for the club.

I have stayed in the Hotel Arena several times, and there is a good reason to come back. A beautiful building, pleasant service, great breakfast, and a comfortable room: this place cannot be beaten. It has all the comforts of a modern business hotel, with ten times the character. Simply brilliant!

We loved our stay at Hotel Arena. It was Funky Fresh and Friendly. Our room which was the basic option was really cool and very comfortable... was very sad to leave the huge bed behind! the food, although a little pricy was very tasty. It was also a great location and easy to get to the centre and other areas of the city.

Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

Excellent value, Hotel rooms are of a great standard - Only drawback of the hotel may be for a tourist who may wish to stay more central - However easy access to both trams and the metro - Plus you are getting better value for a 4 star hotel to be slightly out of the city centre.

the hotel is really a nice one , though some of the ladies at reception dont like if a lady is their costumer, the rooms are cool but there some small facts which makes it strange like there no wifi really in rooms and i had the feeling the shower jells were not really new one but used one.

The Hotel Arena in Amsterdam is set on the out skirts of Amsterdam's hustle and bustle, but very accessible via the tram system, one outside the hotel to the entertainment district (clubs & restaurants) and one approx 500m to Dam Square. Reading several reviews expressed this prior to booking which attracted me to the Hotel, being quiet, It is also […] walking distance to the centre if you don't mind negotiating the minefield of cyclist! Although the deluxe room we booked was nice, the split level bedroom was a little awkward climbing very steep stairs. The hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Strongly recommend trying the Italian restaurant sign posted outside the hotel, 750m (turning left). Very nice food and very reasonably priced. Uzziniet vairāk

I always stay at Hotel Arena when I'm in Amsterdam. Really beautiful building, great staff and fun atmosphere. Stay at the hip bar/restaurant on premises or venture out into the heart of Amsterdam. It's only a quick train or tram car away.

Hotel staff are helpful and friendly. Location is a bit too far from the center of Amsterdam than I had realised for the price. The biggest problem was the room which was a duplex with an incredibly steep, narrow steps and open staircase (a nighmare if you had been staying with young children). The bathroom & desk, TV, wardrobe were downstairs and the […] bed was upstairs which meant you spent half the morning going up and down the stairs risking life and limb everytime you had forgotten to take something with you.

Lovely hotel, but about a 20-30 minute walk into the centre of town, and there is not much in the surrounding area. The bar looked nice but the service was terrible, really slow, we waited over an hour for some snacks, and drinks were slow to arrive. The room was lovely, the bathroom setup odd though, just a see through glass wall separating the barhroom […] from the sleeping area, the toilet was tucked around a corner, but not much privacy!!

An impressive hotel sitting at the edge of a park southeast of the city center, Hotel Arena supplies everything a traveler would wish for. The staff was very nice and helpful and the rooms were excellent and spacious. There is a restaurant within the hotel along with a night club, yet the rooms are well insulated as to not cause a disturbance. There […] is a tram stop that goes downtown right near the hotel, and also one that will take you to the main station. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and there are a few restaurants around, but most of the action occurs in the downtown area. Well worth the stay. Uzziniet vairāk

Ny husband and I stayed at Hotel Arena in July 2011. It is super-modern with very black hallways, not our taste but if you like modern this is for you. We found the room also to be ultra-modern - in fact we didn't discover the clothes closet until we'd been there 2 days, we thought it was a mirror! We found the room to be very efficient but cold feeling. […] I wouldn't want to be on a first overnight date with someone - abslutely no privacy in the bathroom.

We had a two-floor room with "living room" area and bathroom on the first and the bed on the second floor. The bathroom had see-through glass walls, which was a little weird.

I don't have a single negative thing to say. The bathroom walls were completely-clear glass with no lock, or any attempt at sound-proofing so I'm now much closer to my boyfriend than I'd originally intended to be after a month, but actually it just added to the experience.

This hotel has real character: it is housed in a recently refurbished religious facility, with features such as fifteen foot ceilings and ornate staircases. It is located in a quiet area adjacent to one of Amsterdam's best parks, and close to trams and metro. Some rooms have views over a tree lined canal. All staff were very friendly.

What an awesome hotel! I surprised my fiance with a week in Amsterdam over his birthday and booked us into Arena Hotel. Upon arrival, we were allowed to check in early (as I requested due to being pregnant) and because we were celebrating a birthday, the lovely man at the front desk upgraded us from a Duluxe room to a Studio! (We didn't even ask!) The […] room, and the entire hotel is stunningly decorated, the staff were all extrememly friendly and helpful and the location is good. About 30 min walk to the Dam or 10 min by tram if you prefer. We did find it a bit noisy in the mornings - our room faced the street - but we were provided with earplugs when we asked, and it really wasn't bad enough to spoil our stay at all. Perhaps not the cheapest hotel I've ever stayed in, but by far the most elegant and impressive for the price. I would most definitely recommend staying here, and will happily stay here again if I'm lucky enough to re-visit Amsterdam! Uzziniet vairāk
