We stayed at the arena and would not return, we booked on the basis of 4 stars. The hotel is dark and not very clean, the room was freezing, especially the bathroom - which was also dirty. No dressing table mirror and a hair dryer that blew a puff of heat at you, whilst making your finger go into a... More

Nice hotel in Amsterdam. Its not located right smack int he middle of Amsterdam, but its easy to access the city center on foot or by tram. Takes roughly 10-15 minutes to walk to what is defined as the city center. The design of the hotel is great, although the bathroom is a bit spacy! - Not alot of privacy,... More

My buddy and I found ourselves in Amsterdam over the holidays. We are both members of the Canadian Forces and were off on our Christmas leave. After base-camping at a Macdonald's and calling a few places we eventually landed on the Hotel Arena. Along with an already reasonable price and location, they also offered us a sizable military discount. The... More

Myself and my partner went to Amsterdam for 5 days, we stayed in the Easyjet Hotel for the first 4 nights and thought we would treat ourselves to a luxury stay for the last night. Although Hotel Arena is further out form the city (approx 2miles) the building, decor and furnishings are excellent. However the staff that we had the... More

The location is good and not that far from the city centre. Would probably take 30-40min walk, but trams are quite good and run every 7-10mins. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was excellent as it had the balcony work area. Brakfast was very rich and delicious allthough it was expensive. The hotel needs a freshening up.... More

The hotel is near Artis and the Tropenmuseum and is near public transport which will take you directly in to the city center. The hotel is in a beautiful building which use to be an orphanhouse. The interior is modern and they do have spacious rooms with high ceilings. Breakfast buffet is good and includes champagne and fresh fruits. More

Stayed here for three nights at the beginning of December for my boyfriend's birthday and I was really impressed with the whole hotel. Paid a little extra and booked a Studio room which looked exactly like the photos on the website. Lovely rooms (not huge) but nice and cosy for a romantic weekend and I loved the contrast of the...
