Hotel Arena
This hotel is situated at the edge of the city center of Amsterdam and is accessible through Oosterpark. The monumental ornaments, such as the original wooden marble staircase and the restored Chapel, have been kept in its original state. They still tell the stories about the impressive history of the building. Schiphol Airport is less than 12 km. This rich history is being combined with modern design and vibe, which is visible in the hotel rooms, the Café-Restaurant, the creative meeting and event Studios, the beautiful Salon and the unique Chapel. Hotel is the spot where guests can drink, eat, work, sleep and dance. Rooms are cosy and modern designed, with all amenities and forniture to ensure the rest of travellers.

Within each room category, the layout of the rooms may vary. Some rooms feature a mezzanine, with the sleeping area located upstairs and the seating area downstairs. If you have any specific preferences, feel free to let us know when making your booking. Please note that preferences are subject to availability.

“Buss stay”

Stayed here one night for business. Clean friendly well positioned in the city, next to a park and the terras setting is nice. No gym , gym is 15 min walk away at extra cost around E 20, Bfast is good but pricy. Would stay here again.

“Nice hotel staff not great :(”

So i can’t say it was a completely bad experience but it was a mix. The rooms were completely clean and really modern (especially the bathroom) with some lovely views, just seemed a tad unfinished in places, the overall grounds of the hotel were beautiful and the hotel isn’t too far from the centre and we as a group shared uber's so was never really that expensive and you could do the walk as was only about 30 mins. However when you arrive there is a charge of deposit per room ours totalled 200 euro for our room and length of stay, this was not disclosed to us before arrival and left one of our friends with little spending money as we was unaware when we tried to understand what this was for the lady at reception was extremely dismissive and quite frankly rude. when we was checking out a couple in front of us had also moved something in the mini bar but they hadn’t actually taken it but were still being charged due to the sensors (so do be cautious not to even touch if you don’t want money deducted from deposit) and again the receptionist wasn’t exactly nice or helpful to them either. There is a restaurant on site which we didn’t use as menu didn’t really appeal to us as i can be a picky eater but it did seem like a nice place to eat.

“Great out of town hotel”

I liked the space in the bedroom ! Massive bath ! And was clean and tidy. Bar area and breakfast was great. It's a little way from the cente but an enjoyable 40 mum walk with the zoo en route. Didn't like the frosted bathroom door where the toilet was very visible from the bedroom

“Lovely Boutique Hotel Arena on a Park in a Convenient Location”

Delightful boutique hotel on a park. Its location near the outer ring canal puts it in easy walking distance to public transport and sights, yet not in the crowded tourist area. The park is popular with locals as is the hotel's "Park" cafe. The cafe is a peaceful place to eat or relax. The park itself is lovely and I prefer the Arena's location to a hotel directly on a canal, where you'll also pay a premium just to be on a canal. The room was quiet. It had double windows but I'm not sure that was necessary because the hotel is in a quiet location. There are free storage lockers where you can store your baggage if you arrive before check in or if you are not leaving the city directly after checkout and don't want to carry your bags around. I arranged a late check out because I wanted to sleep in late, but there's no need for that if you don't sleep in late. The staff are very friendly. The Hotel Arena is a great value for money as well. I highly recommend the Hotel Arena.

“Abysmal experience”

We unfortunately booked here for our trip to Amsterdam. I would suggest to reconsider this hotel: 1) the location is off, you're not central and to do everything you'll need to factor in 30/40 Min of travel. Walking you'll be central in about 45 Min. The hotel sits in a park, that is cool until evening. Then it turns into a shady place with drug dealers and nomads. Be careful. 2) The hotel seriously lacks of cleanliness. Everything was pretty dirty, from the carpets on the hallway to the carpets inside the rooms. We had to change room as the first one was unsuitable for us due to terrible stains all over the carpet and the bed. Unfortunately the second room wasn't cleaned properly, we had stains on the bathroom floor. Disgusting. Filthy yellow pillows and mattresses. They will clean up your room late in the afternoon and only if you remember to ask for it. As a reminder, this class of hotel MUST clean your room, otherwise you're offering a lower tier experience. This is not optional, this is not a kind service offered by you. 3) They randomly ask you to pay 50€/night as a deposit. So, for four nights, they took 200€ out of my account. 4) I really disliked the room, especially the fact that bathroom and bedroom were basically undivided. You did not have privacy when showering or on the toilet. There was a glass without a proper door to divide the areas. Awful experience all around, you get much more in other areas at the same price point.
