Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Arena enjoys a beautiful location right in Oosterpark, allowing guests to wake up to birdsong while still being close to the city. The hotel's building itself is fascinating, and many appreciate the lovely interior design, especially in the lobby, bar, and restaurant. Some rooms might feel a bit small, but the hotel offers a great breakfast to start the day. Trams run regularly, making it easy to reach Central Station in about 15 minutes.

a generally okay stay

regular trams beautiful park beautiful building chargeable drinks little space bottled water
The location is amazing. it opens onto a beautiful park. i loved the regular trams every 8-9 minutes. It's a maximum 15-minute ride from central station. the building itself is beautiful too.
i stayed for four nights and noted some areas needing improvement. the minibar was completely full of chargeable drinks. this left very little space for my personal items. the room also lacked complimentary bottled water.

A Stay with Some Minor Issues

good location park view comfortable bed thin wall noisy hallway unfriendly staff
The location is good, inside the park. This makes it more appealing. The restaurant terrace has pleasant views of the park. The beds were comfortable..
The walls seemed thin. I stayed only one night. At night, other guests were walking in the hallway. It was like there were no walls.
