This hotel was really good!! The staff were the standouts. Everyone was friendly, helpful and always willing to give suggestions. I do think cleaning could be a bit better, our room was dusty and the bathroom had mildew stains but nothing that was detrimental to our stay. Location was perfect. As multiple tram lines are nearby. Breakfast and the restaurant were perfect

We liked the hotel overall. Felt a little dated in some spots. for the most part, room was clean but i found leftover food in fridge and a scrunchie by the bed. Staff was very friendly. Loved being close to park and the building was nice.

Hotel Arena is such a beautiful mix of old and new, the building has so much character, but everything feels modern and comfortable. The location next to Oosterpark is peaceful, and it’s still easy to get to the city center. The staff were super friendly, and the restaurant was a great surprise. I’d definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel with polite staff, in a scenic and quiet location. The room was clean and large. The bathroom was lovely, however the glass wall/glass door was see through and did not lock allowing for no privacy when showering, going to the toilet or having a bath. It was a rather unusual experience. In addition, there was a hidden €50 per night deposit fee that was not highlighted in the booking process. The luggage storage was extremely convenient.
