The Arena is located only four metro stops from central station (therefore within easy reach) and close to the centre, but not so close as to have crowds walking around it. We were so lucky as to occupy one of the newly refurbished rooms and I must say that I was pleasantly impressed. Our room had very high ceiling; a... more

Booked the trip via Expedia website which stated rooms had shower or bath - emailed hotel on booking to request bath - hotel apparently do not receive these emails so not a good start with a snippy take it or leave it reception staff member who informed us that there were only 2 baths available in the class of room... more

I was there for 3 days with a friend. The room we had was beautiful. Not large but the bed was comfortable and the whole hotel was clean and airy. It's a really amazing looking place. This place has suffered in the past from bad feedback but I think the recent renvations have done the trick. It's not the most... more

You can easily spend the same money and end up in a mouldy run-down whole in the wall in this town. The people at Arena must be really in it for the long run, delivering design hotel style and high quality interiors, perfect cleanliness and kind service to make you return and recommend this place (this is why I take... more

Yeah, sorry for the "ugly duckling", but hey, you guys made such an improvement and this is the first thing that came up... How did I get to know Arena? For my 40th birthday, a friend of mine arranged an entire Amsterdam weekend (musical, dinner, after drinks, clubbing, shopping, lunch, the works...). He knows me very well and he is... more

I stayed over one week-end in one of the best hotels I ever stayed in. The hotel has got a parking, a gorgeous look and set standards for people willing to stay in posh and trendy place. Rooms are clean, minimalistic style, super stylish decoration and very nice showers. I recommend the room with the bath (224). Service is good,... more
