Beautifully renovated, historic building in an idyllic location on the Oosterpark. Architecturally design, large bedroom with glass doors onto a lawn area, premium lounge area. Amazing chapel within the hotel where they run events. We will definitely be back.

Nathan United Kingdom

the location is central enough but not in the hectic part of the city, and it’s right on the Oosterpark park which is serene and beautiful.

Sivan Israel

The design of the hotel was so unique and in a perfect location.

Ln6w3 United Kingdom

The location is magical. It feels like being in a secret garden. The staff were fantastic and the restaurant menu and drinks offerings were perfect. The best part of our weekend was the outdoor seating overlooking the park on a beautiful day.

Kimberly United States of America

The location is perfect for families or couples. After a long day of walking in Amsterdam, you can just go to Oosterpark in front of the hotel and relax on the grass. The only hotel I will ever go to in Amsterdam.

Abdalla United Arab Emirates

The staff was really friendly, breakfast was good and we did like the old building style.

Mrs Georgia

The Hotel Arena is in the middle of a park, where you have other hotels and the great Troppenmuseum. The hotel restaurant has very good food, employees are kind. Easy access to the airport without needing to go through the Central Station.

Fabio United States of America

It was such a cute room with a comfortable bed and very clean. No extras by way of snacks in the room, but free coffee and tea and a fridge if you bought anything. Electricity and AC/heat turn on with your key so no waste! Also, their restaurant is lovely and overlooks a local public park where you can rent bikes and walk. Very near two tram stations.

Milagros United States of America

Really nice hotel if you like a touch of luxury. Location next to the park is fantastic. Our room was great with a super comfy bed.
