Very large hotel. place was perfect, morning breakfast was good. The hotel has a creepy feel to it with some of the dark hallways; finding out the history of the place made it feel spookier but I found that as a plus haha..

Located in the Oosterpark, Hotel Arena is located in the upcoming eastern part of Amsterdam. Guests can enjoy food and drinks with a view at café- restaurant PARK. Furthermore, Hotel Arena offers a terrace, creative studios for meetings and an old chapel for events. The city center is a 10-minute walk.

The property was really well connected with the city, so it was easy to get around, even though the property itself was not central. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, and the staff were friendly and caring towards our needs. The hotel restaurant was also absolutely incredible, and was well worth it for the price we paid for food. Very beautiful hotel!

Lights and power system inside the room was confuisng and complicated. Light switches in shower room difficult to locate in the dark (black on black). Power comes on when you enter the room and put in card, but then turns off suddenly and you're left in the dark, not knowing where the light switches are. Shower room very stylish, but tiles on floor very slippery.
Beautiful location, fascinating building and history. Very stylish decor.

“Not at all as shown in pictures, worst customer service (night shift)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
I reserved the hotel with plenty of time. The arrival day we came around 11 am in our room was not yet ready, but we checked in with no room assigned. We came back around 11 pm after a day in town. We were assigned to a room in a tower outside the hotel where our suitcases didnt work because of the stairs and sand outside the hotel. On an 4th floor with no elevator (an attic with really steep and small stairs), no AC and no other rooms there but services rooms and a dirty bathroom on the 3rd floor -- toilet paper all over the floor. The staff told us the hotel was completetly full and that they could not change our room. They told me the AC would start after 30 min so we waited, but there was no AC at all, thats why they kept the windows opened. After 3 complain calls, us being completely upset, at 1:30 am they changed our room to an old but more conventional one with AC, so they were also lying about not being able to change our room. Honestly the worst experience I have had in a hotel for holidays, not recommended and not worthy the $250 USD per night per room.
