Trendy and comfortable four stars hotel, located on the official border of the city centre. Spectacularly renovated with Dutch Design in a 19th century monumental building. In Amsterdam, Hotel Arena is a household name, a favourite among national and international business people and leisure guests as well as Amsterdammers. Built in an old orphanage. The facilities of Hotel Arena consist of 116 rooms, an inviting all-day bar for drinks, snacks and lunches, intimate restaurant with quality dishes and wines but also incentive meeting rooms and a leading nightclub featuring popular programming in the weekends. The heart of Amsterdam is just 5 tram stops or under 10 cab minutes away. The hotel is situated in a quiet residential part of the capital and within walking distance of Oosterpark, Artis Zoo, Royal Tropical institute and Royal Theatre Carre. Hotel Arena is also within easy reach of the Amsterdam nightlife and entertainment, business, university and shopping areas, museums and sightseeing hotspots. Note: a 5% city tax is applicable and to be paid at the hotel.

The black glass walls of the bathroom cubicle and the shiny tiles are a remarkable match.

Arena Hotel 8-2011

Overall I wasn't disappointed at all. My first room I was a little unhappy due to my height and this particular room, though it was very quaint and comfortable it was tough, but after voicing my minor complaint they switched up my room and I actually ended up with an upgrade right away. The AM breakfast is very tasty and has a good variety of foods to appease most palettes, though I would like to add that it is charged to your room, though I don't think the pricing is posted or made clear unless asked, just fair warning, but I felt it was of value. The club was also entertaining, just make sure to talk to the hosts during the day to get on the list. Buy a tram pass from the host and don't forget to tap on and off the tram ;-)

SHAMEFUL!

This hotel refused to refund the money in the wake of the Iceland volcano eruption. They are the SOLE hotel in the entire region to so refuse. I spoke to both the greedy general manager and his absolutely nasty deputy to sneered and even enjoyed telling me that there was no refund regardless of disaster. Run do not walk away form this place folks- it wikll be nothing but troulbe if any wrinkle should occur in your plans. You'd be better off and treated far better if you pitched a tent alongside the Herengracht!

Geschäftlich in Amsterdam

Der Besuch der ISE in Amsterdam bedingt immer ein oder zwei nächte in dieser Stadt. Das Hotel liegt gut an der Linie M51. Ein paar Minuten zu laufen schadet ja nicht. Sehr originelles Zimmer mit gutem Bett. Es ist alles vorhanden was es braucht und das zu einem fairen Preis.

Uitstekend hotel

Hotel Arena ligt vlakbij het Oosterpark en is per tram 7 en 10 goed bereikbaar. Als je in de binnenstad verblijft en de laatste tram rijdt niet meer (rond 00:00 uur) dan kost een taxi tussen de €10,- en €15,-. Goed te doen dus. Van binnen is het Hotel luxe en stijlvol en de kamers zijn ronduit schitterend. Het personeel is ook perfect. Dit hotel raad ik aan voor zakenreizigers, (kortstondige) stelletjes, clubbers (de club van Hotel Arena is in het weekend geopend), mensen die niet in het lawaai van de pleinen willen zitten. Overall: sjiek en goed georganiseerd. Klein minpunt: inchecktijd 15:00.

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

Hotel Arena is vanaf AMsterdam CS (of Duivendrecht) goed per metro bereikbaar: Weesperplein -> overrstappen op lijn 7 of10, één ha;te, en klaar. Met de tram vanaf CS duurt aanzienlijk langer.
