Hotel Arena

very nice, trendy hotel

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.

Very nice hotel.

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.

Great Hotel

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!!!!

Good for the money

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.

Adequate, but that's it.

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.

Horrible

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

Great deal for the money!

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!

"Great room for the money"

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

Overpriced

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.

Great Room for the Money

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