“The motel served its purpose of being close to the ANZ stadium”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
Firstly we had trouble getting there, we checked at Central and were given directions including bus no to catch, the bus did not end up near the motel at all - bus driver dropped us off at the 7-11 and then we had a 3 km walk to the motel. Only 1 glass and one little milk container for two people, when asked for more the receptionist said we could have it but on the weekend you have to pay for extra.!! No teaspoons, one wooden stirrer. But the room was clean and the bed comfortable
That we could take the shuttle (which turned out to be a coach to the Edinburgh Tattoo was great. Most of the people staying went to the Tattoo.

Was charged $200+ a room on Booking.com when there was a sign outside the hotel for $89 a room. Reception staff abrupt, trying to get me to sign for someone else’s room and bill then changed details to suite when I refused. One room was missing the tv remote, hairs in the bed in the other room. Both bathroom taps dripping. Right on highway with no double glazed windows could hear traffic all night.

Bathroom wasn't very clean and the water from the shower went all the way to the door. Drainage problem. The shuttle service to ANZ stadium was a nightmare. The hotel sold too many bus tickets and so there was not enough seats on the bus for the amount of tickets sold. I thought the bus driver was very rude about the whole situation.
The bed was good. Linen clean.

The service station right next door was a blessing and a curse. It's was great to go and get a decent coffee late at night after the event, but at the same time hoons came to the service station at about 12.30am and revved their engines which must have woke up everyone staying there, it was very noisy and went on most of the night. Not the hotel fault if course but not welcome.
Came to Sydney for an event at ANZ Stadium. The hotel was chosen because they had a coach and private shuttle service to/from the event which was excellent and made it very ease to get there at back to the hotel. This was so very good and not offered by other hotels.

Was a little pricey, although maybe because it was close to the date needed and there was a big event on.
The staff at reception couldn't have been better. The beds were comfy. Accomodation was adequate and close for our trip to the Sydney Edinburgh Tattoo. The original accomodation I'd booked 5 months ago cancelled on me last minute. I was grateful to find The Arena Hotel.

“ok for the 1 night we were there but couldn't recommend it to others.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

the information said a modern facility which is far from the truth. the room and bathroom were very out dated. There was no hand towels or face washers and no where to place a toiletries bag in the bathroom except on the floor. The coffee tray was not replenished from the previous guests and was not clean. This Hotel is right on the Hume freeway and as our room faced that way it was extremely noisy. Breakfast was not at all appealing, serving muffins in the tray you bought them in instead of displaying them nicely was not a good look.
the staff were very nice.
