Top quality stay

Had a lovely stay in Hotel Arena for a 3-day getaway in March. The hotel was impeccably maintained and staff were helpful and friendly (breakfast was good too!) The room felt spacious with the split-level design and the bed was enormous. It's a shame we only had 2 nights and would definitely consider it as my first choice for a stay if I return to Amsterdam.

A hotel in a beautiful, quiet setting by the park. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, both in the hotel and in the restaurant and bar. The lockers were very handy for leaving luggage and the room was spacious, clean and as described. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel but hardly any housekeeping

We really like this beautiful and unique hotel. It’s a great location and a very atmospheric building. But there is one issue: We stayed 6 nights and our room was cleaned once. We had to chase down housekeeping to get clean towels and toilet paper. It’s not acceptable for a such a nice hotel. It seems they don’t have enough staff for housekeeping. Please address this. We stayed several years before and had the same issue.

Decent hotel

Really pretty venue in a park. The rooms have high ceilings and are well arranged with mini - fridge and toiletries. The bed wasn’t too comfortable as the mattress was too soft and there was a lot of banging coming from some of the guests throughout the night…staff really helpful and accommodating

Hotel is shabby. Housekeeping was a joke - had to ask for shower gel to be replenished second day. Tea/coffee pods not replaced after first day. Left hair conditioner out to be replenished and empty bottle left in exactly same place. Night stands were dirty and sticky upon arrival and I had to clean marks off them myself!!!!
