The price of the hotel. It also had great connection to the City Center. The staff was very kind and helpfull.

Stefan, Germany

The property is amazing! Incredible building, the entrance is inside the park, just a few meters away from the the tram. The rooms are even better than the pictures, large, tall and comfortable.

Samuel, Brazil

Amazing hotel in a park! It is beautiful and the decor is very trendy. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great! There was a very good selection of fruits, yogurts, breads, cheeses, cured meats/fish and hot foods.

Emi, Japan

The stairway and the 3rd floor - room 303 - should get a refresh: looks a bit too shabby for the hotel's class

Jp, Belgium

The hotel was a former orphanage, mental institution now a beautiful renovated hotel.the location is great because it sits overlooking Oostwrpark, close to a tram stop. Neighborhood has nice restaurants, pubs, some shopping.

Rachel, United States of America

Great location and beautiful architecture with the most gracious staff. A one of a kind building beautifully restored to it Orginal glory with modern flair for your comfort. Everything was perfect and the hotel restaurant and patio are worth checking out with attentive service and first class cuisine. It is also very convenient to many of the inner ring attractions. And trams are right by the hotel.

Not much, our room looked as though it had a tv taken out of the downstairs area and looked a bit naff but wasn’t a problem as we had a tv upstairs where the bed was.
Was a very luxurious hotel. The room was a mezzanine and the bed was unbelievably comfy. Had a nice bar area and sitting out area just outside the front of the hotel.

couldn't find the wall plugs for the electric hot water pot (for coffee); also if there are rooms on a higher level, I would put women on the higher floors as opposed to ground floor (unless all the rooms are only on the ground floor!) just because you are in the park and it feels a little safer if you're not at ground level, but that's maybe just me!
Building is beautiful; liked the ecology focus without any downside! staff is very nice, young, friendly and efficient

“Perfect for a romantic weekend. Although For the quality offered, could be cheaper.”
- • Leisure trip

The room was smaller than expected, the space was just enough to fit a bed, so if you wanted to go to the window you should go through the bed. While showering, the water went throughout the bathroom door to the room, even though it was closed. Of course the whole bathroom was full of water. The heating system could be more efficient - upstairs, where you have the sofa was super hot and downstairs where the bed is, it was super cold - Also when turned on it is super noisy.
The place is beautiful, especially because it is located inside a park so the environment is immediately super relaxing. Super warm and cozy with a nice fireplace near the bar / restaurant where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine. The bed was confortable.

We cannot fault anything.
We booked Hotel Arena because it was opposite the hospital where my brother was in ICU and very ill. We informed the reception staff and they so helpful in every way and made things a lot easier for us. The restaurant staff did no know why we were there but they were great as we do not speak any Dutch and helped us with what we were ordering. They always greeted us with a smile and we got to know some of them well.

One facility is bikes are available but we were told they were too busy to help us sent us to get bikes somewhere else we walked for an hour found the place only to be told we needed ID which nobody told us, returned to hotel and only because my partner made a fuss we finally got bikes. We asked for an iron and they seemed to forget that and we asked for a late checkout and got a phonecall at quarter to 12 waking us. Very few helpful staff won't be going again so disappointing as we regularly travel to Amsterdam
The hotel and room itself was beautiful
