Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms ate a bit pricy for their size as they are significantly smaller than depicted on the website, and felt a bit crowded for two people given the bathrooms were built-in to the rooms after building construction. Our air conditioning was not working, however this seemed to be fixed by opening the window. The breakfast was lovely, and the location was very quaint. Yet facilities-wise this is a fine stay for a night or so, yet anything longer I would prefer a higher-end hotel
Spacious room. Friendly and helpful staff. Awesome park right at doorstep. Nice restaurants nearby about 5-10 mins walk. But metro station quite a distance (about 15 mins) especially with luggage.

Clean room, windows that opened, great bathroom, fantastic location in beautiful park, v close to trams
This hotel was really good!! The staff were the standouts. Everyone was friendly, helpful and always willing to give suggestions.
I do think cleaning could be a bit better, our room was dusty and the bathroom had mildew stains but nothing that was detrimental to our stay.
Location was perfect. As multiple tram lines are nearby.
Breakfast and the restaurant were perfect
Love that this hotel had a park setting very quiet in a nice area little restaurants around that you could walk to for breakfast or dinner. The hotel restaurant was nice as well. They make a great limoncello spritz that we enjoyed would definitely recommend to stay here.
We liked the hotel overall. Felt a little dated in some spots. for the most part, room was clean but i found leftover food in fridge and a scrunchie by the bed.
Staff was very friendly. Loved being close to park and the building was nice.
The hotel is very beautiful and the staff are polite and friendly. The property is beautifully situated next to a park, and well connected to public transportation. Grocery stores, pharmacies and places to eat are within 10 minutes walk. Note that the rooms are not identical; you may see the pictures of a particular room but your room may not look like that.
Hotel Arena is such a beautiful mix of old and new, the building has so much character, but everything feels modern and comfortable. The location next to Oosterpark is peaceful, and it’s still easy to get to the city center. The staff were super friendly, and the restaurant was a great surprise. I’d definitely stay here again.
Check in was speedy and front desk staff was excellent and was able to address all of our questions and requests with exceptional professionalism and timeliness. We do have some issues with the room cleaning and will be addressing it with the property management. Overall, it's a good place to stay while in Amsterdam!
