Hotel Arena - Amsterdam 52.36078, 4.91567

Allocated room 203 on check-in. This proved to be the worst hotel room I have been allocated in nearly 50 years international travel. It was no more than a minute attic room with sloping outer wall/ceiling. There was one Velux window that could only be opened a few centimetres and the radiator valve was faulty so the heat could not be turned off. Furniture consisted of one chair, a desk, bedside table and a double industrial cloakroom steel locker! There was no way my wife and I were going to accept this room but it was too late to find another Hotel with car parking. We had to pay a suppliment of ?20/ night to get an acceptable alternative on the next floor down. 3 days car parking cost ?75. Totally unacceptable.

Hotel Arena was much to far out of Amsterdam central , further away than hotel states,was very disapoited by this..room was clean and had clean linen and towels,but was small and basic,staff were pleasant enough

Nice, cool hotel with what seemed a nice restaurant, bar and nightclub on site but fairly far outwith the centre.

The hotel is a 15 Euro taxi ride from central station. You can walk to the museums in 25 minutes. There is a tram stop nearby by which makes the central zone easily accessible. The hotel reception, restaurant and commons areas are interesting and decorated to a high standard. We ate in the restaurant and found the menu limited, but to a high standard. The room was small, with only enough room to walk around one side of the bed. We ordered double room and were disappointed to find a room containing two beds pushed together. Overall the hotel was adequate for the price that we paid.

photos of hotel make it look great but our two rooms were not clean were dusty with squashed knats over the walls. shower rooms had mould around tiles, smelt badly, one had broken extractor fan, shower head needed descaling badly and so on. not recommended.

very nice hotel. A bit on the outskirts of the city but still not too far from the fun, if you know where you're going. It's trendy and very romantic -- a great place to bring your significant other. rooms are cool and intimate.

Positive: Nice place, good service, very spacious rooms. Negative: Overpriced food and drink, poor finishing (attention to detail), strange decor

The hotel is very modern and with its black and white sleek look, and it comes across as almost theatrical in character! We had a lovely time staying in one third floor suites, although it was slightly annoying that the lift only went up to the second floor and we had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the third floor. The location was good and the hotel easy to find. We spent a day visiting the zoo which was very close. Overall I would recommend a stay at th Hotel Arena, particularly if you like something just that lttle bit different!

Nice and clean, very trendy design. the loft rooms are nice. it's a romantic hotel, so I recommend going with your significant other. A bit further away from the city center than I had hoped but the neighborhood is quiet and nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

I went to Amsterdam with my best friend and we stayed at Hotel Arena. BEAUTIFUL hotel!!! Very modern and super cool. The rooms are very chic. The people that work at the front desk are all very nice and super helpful. They are always willing to answer any questions you may have. The restraunt staff- just ok. Service was not amazing and the food was honestly, just ok. With that said, the service is not good anywhere in Amsterdam though, so it was not a huge deal. The bar is nice and a lot of fun. They have parties almost every weekend!!! Be prepaired for a walk if you want to go into the city though. The fastest wya is to take a quick cab ride or to walk to the subway (approx. 1/2 mile away i.e. 15 min walk). In a very friendly neighborhood. Overall, I would stay there again and enjoyed my stay. I recommend it!!!!

Hotel is great. Location is close to train so you can get to central or any other place you may want to visit. Really a good hotel for friends there to have a good time, or young couples. It is an old building, so walls are very thin. So if your a sensative to noise, beware. Other than that, perfect. People that work there are very friendly.

We stayed in a standard room at Hotel Arena. It was very small; we were used to small rooms from staying in Europe, but this was extreme. There was only one working outlet and the bathroom was cramped. Still, the room was sufficient for our needs. It is a little out of the way, and not near any attractions, but there is a tram stop nearby which takes you into the city. There are a nightclub, bar and restaurant attached to the hotel which seemed to be the main focus--the hotel seemed like an afterthought, and with loud drunk people making noise all night, it felt like that too. Next time, I would shell out a little extra for a bigger room closer to the attractions.

Stay away at all costs. Loud, poorly maintained - it was a nightmare. It felt more like a Russian frat house than a quality hotel.

For those who know about European hotels this was a welcome surprise. The room (deluxe room) was larger than most and less expensive. It is a 5 minute easy walk to the tram that takes you to city center in 10 minutes. The service was very helpful and friendly. There is a bar, restaurant and night club though if you don't want to be a part of it you wouldn't know it's there. I highly recommend Hotel Arena and everyone knows of it so the cab drivers can get you there!

the hotel was great a little far from where my business was but over all it was great.

Staff very helpful & friendly; breakfast extra charge, but well worth it. Bit of a walk from train station & other attractions, but ok if you're in good physical condition. No heavy traffic at night, quiet. Room very small, but clean, hard wood floors, no carpet/rugs. No washclothes, only towels. Down comforters nice. Stayed in nicer hotels in Europe for less money.

Good room for the money. Easy access to transortation. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Bra service och ett bra hotell. Kanske inte så mysigt i själva hotellkorridorerna men helt ok. Det var lite fågelträck på insidan av fönster och persienn som man borde ha städat bort innan. Önskvärt att Internet varit fritt på hotellet.

l'albergo è situato al confine del centro,con poche fermate di tram si raggiungono piazza dam,la stazione centrale e gli altri punti attrattivi,ma per una volta è consigliabile fare il tragitto a piedi. La struttura è ricavata in un edificio davvero suggestivo,antico,dai soffitti altissimi (infatti le camere sono tutte soppalcate) dove dominano il rosso ed il nero. il bar e il ristorante sono ottimi,c'è addirittura un club notturno; unica pecca,ma veniale,il bagno dalle pareti tutte vetrate forse è fin troppo stiloso...e scomodo

Las ventajas son estancia cómoda personal cosmopolita y agradable limpio y bonito las desventajas está a un kilometro y medio del centro y cobran una tasa en la ciudad aparte de lo pagado que me pilló desprevenida

Superfint hotell, väldigt tjusig inredning, bara designmöbler. trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Väldigt fina rum som var rena och fräscha. Vårat dubbelrum var ett etagerum med sängen på 2 våning. Något som var kass var hotellets parkering, vi fick visserligen plats men priset var 25 euro per dygn, vi var där 3 nätter så det blev ju lite tråkiga slantar, dock är det dyrt med parkering i hela Amsterdam så det kanske inte är hotellets fel, men jag kommer definitivt bo där nästa gång jag är i Amsterdam

Det här är ett bra hotell som gjort annorlunda lösningar. Inte vid vattnet men däremot vid en trädgård som gör det till en oas i Amsterdam. Rummen var annorlunda och i mitt tycke rätt coola, själv bodde jag i ett mini två plans rum. Rekommenderar det här och kommer att använda hotellet fler gånger.

Hotellet ligger fint. Der er gjort meget af renoveringen. Værelserne er indrettet med glasvægge, hvilket kan være noget grænseoverskridende at kunne se dem på badeværelset. I forhold til prisen er det meget svagt, at der hverken er morgenmad inkluderet eller at der er fri internet.

its even very well styled

we hadden samen 4 kamers geboekt waarvan een rechtstreeks met Hotel Arena, deze kamer was 15 euro duurder dan de andere 3 die we via hotel.com hadden geboekt. Zeiden erbij dat we naar de website van Arena moesten gaan om goedkoper te boeken. Jammer dat het restaurant dicht was, kun je heerlijk eten.In het cafe kun je eten, gedaan maar het was niet best. Niet dat ik op het hotel afgeef maar dit keer was het niet goed!

Die Zimmer sind sehr originell und komfortabel eingerichtet. Es ist eine absolut gelungene Alternative zu den üblichen Standardhotels.

Die Sauberkeit in Holland ist wohl nicht gerade begeisternd. Wir sind 2 Tage vorher abgereist! Für uns ist das Hotel mit einr Jugendherberge hier in Deutschland zu vergleichen. Bis früh um 4.00 Uhr laute Musik aus der Nachtbar über den Hof, wir wollten entspannen und nicht Lärm!!

Modernt inrett hotell i en historisk miljö. Ger en härlig känsla. Rummet stort och fräscht, men glasvägg in till toa och dusch kan kännas lite väl öppet. Bra frukost, trevli bar. Den utlovade nattclubben visade sig vara ungdomsgård, så den fick vara. Ligger några t-banestopp bortanför city.

Das Hotel hat einen besonderen Charme durch die alten, beibehaltenen Stilelemente. Durch die z.T. auf zwei Ebenen aufgeteilten Zimmer (unten Aufenthalt, oben Schlafen) hebt sich Hotel Arena wohltuend von den üblichen Business Hotels ab. Angenehme Bar mit DanceClub. Mit Strassenbahn gut zu erreichen, etwas mehr in Innenstadtnähe und es wäre fast nicht mehr zu toppen.

Trevliga rum i lugnt och bra läge nära city

Hotel atypique avec une décoration design (pour la chambre type Loft Deluxe)...acceuil service de qualité. Bonne situation (15 mns du coeur de ville en tramway... 5mns en vélo). Buffet petit dèj appétissant et varié.. attention au prix si il n'est pas dans le prix de la chambre !!!

Hotel bien renové dans l'ensemble mais des soucis de propreté deans les chambres. Les vitres de la chambres assez sale, mauvaise etanchéité de la salle de bain, clim qui ne fonctionnait pas

fick sängloppor, bett i ansiktet av kudden!!

Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται στην κατάλληλη θέση κατά την άποψη μ!Λίγο πιο έξω από το χαμό του κέντρου της πόλης,εύκολα προσβάσιμο από συκγοινωνία!Σαν περιβάλλον είναι εξαίρετικό πολύ προσεγμένο και πολύ καθαρό.Το συστείνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!!

La propreté de la chambre était pas parfaite. Cependant la déco de la chambre, le duplex, font oublier tout ça. Le restaurant de l'hotel est à conseiller.

Sehr lautes Hotel. Das Putzpersonal bemüht sich in keinster weise sich leise zu verhalten. Türen knallen ist normal ab 7 uhr morgens.

We hadden een suite geboekt, belanden echter in een bouwkeet. Konden bijna niet bij onze kamer komen en er zou geen overlast qua lawaai zijn verzekerde ons een van de hotelmedewerksters. Tja de volgende ochtend was het helaas toch anders.

Nice Hotel but quite far from the city center.Tram is the best solution especialy during the winter Noise from the doors while closing. A deposit of 75 euros it was worth to be mentioned before my reservation. Visible when using the bathroom from the black glass walls of the toilet. Apart from that the stuff was exellent. Very friendly. fast check out.nice interiors, very comfortable beds. 2 plasma tv in the deluxe loft

betjeningen var småfrekk og nebbete. bestillte deluxeroom, men var ikke noe deluxe i det heletatt var kun et minimum av hvordan et hotelrom burde være, lite trangt og ikke ordentlig bad!. Jobber selv på hotel i norge og dette var absolut ikke tilfredstillenede.

Hôtel très classe, une architecture magnifique. Des chambres un peu trop froides (ils pourraient faire chauffer les chambres avant l'arrivée des locataires...). Un sommier en ruine. Une chambre design et spartiate. Je le recommande car il a un club juste à coté. Pour sortir et rentré en - d'une minute c'est idéal.

Mögligt o luktade inpyrt i hallen. Fredag-lördag störande musik på hotellets disco/pub. Annars ok.

L'hotel somptueux, assez commode d'acces grace au tram, pêche vraiment par la qualité des chambres. Quelle surprise en decouvrant cette petite piece, vide de décoration, composée de deux lits collés, une petite télé ... et une douche au sol :(
