to get started.

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 hotel is located in a historic building that once functioned as an orphanage and nursing-home. Rooms at Hotel Arena come with high ceilings, large windows, sloping walls, wooden beams and original ornaments. All rooms are different but each room has a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, seating area and private bathroom.

The hotel offers 24-hour reception, free WiFi, bicycle rental and a host who can share various local tips during your stay.

The hotel's entrance is accessible via the Oosterpark. Parking is available for a surcharge in the underground garage. Several trams stop around the corner and offer connections to main attractions such as Museum Square (1.7 mi), Leidseplein (1.7 mi), Rembrandtplein (1.2 mi) and the Dam Square (1.6 mi).

Oost is a great choice for travelers interested in convenient public transportation, atmosphere and city walks.

The room was the basic one and it’s a bit small, the shower needs more water pressure and the air conditioning more power. The fridge didn’t work.
The place is amazing and also the park around it. The stuff was very efficient and kind, very helpful with everything. Loved the terrace and the spaces in the building . Only three stops away from center with the tram.

Transparency of the bathroom. Some couples might find this disturbing. Fridge didn't work.
Great location, the hotel overviews the park. It's a historic building. Metro and tram are in walking distance (10-15 minutes). The room has enormous ceiling and size. Very good breakfast, worth the cost.
