My 14 year old son and me stayed in this fine hotel for 4 nights. It's extraordinary because of its amazing design, the black bathroom cube in the middle of the 2-floor-room with the gallery above to sit and relaxe.

I loved the lay out of the room better than your usual layout. There was a designs throughout the hotel and I would definitely be coming back when I'm back in Amsterdam. Thank... More

It's near the 9 and 14 tram lines and the subway Weeserplein that take you easily into the centre and the major sights. . . The hotel was very trendy and stylish. The rooms are clean and very unique, there's a small living room... More

I count my 6-night stay at Hotel Arena as one of my holiday's successes: Not only were the accommodations clean and comfortable, but the staff members conducted themselves with poise and professionalism! While the hotel's location is a good walk outside center (don't try strolling from Centraal Train Station), it's located close to the 9 and 14 tram lines, which... More
