Modern, chic and comfortable
B in DC Oct 1, 2009
This hotel is great if you like funky architecture and a modern, trendy feel to your room. The place was spotless and roomy ... for Europe with nicely apportioned space. The room comes with a tea kettle and tea bags which is a nice touch. The architecture itself was gorgeous - there was a cool contradiction between the trendy modern interiors and the old world building. I only had a drink but the bar and restaurant were nice and seemed reasonably priced. The only drawback is that you are away from the center of things and it was pricey.

A great place just got much, much better
The Gakker Aug 17, 2009
I have been travelling to the Arena for several years now. But I was so pleasantly shocked to see the results of some great ... renovation work. The rooms -- always a little funky, but in a spotlessly clean and very tasteful way -- are now upgraded in condition. Very comfortable. The food is -- as always -- just out of this world. The staff is relaxed and very, very accomodating. BUT the requirement that one pay for Internet use in your room -- especially in such a hotel as the Arena, which might like to think that it has its finger right on the "pulse" -- is a big disappointment. This cheapens the experience there, because there is already so much generosity of light and space and consciousness. I actually find this to be a little niggardly, on their part. But, all in all, it's a great place to stay, and you don't have to swim through hordes of beer-guzzling English soccer rowdies every time you step out. There is just no one around, and the park next door is a resource you should NOT avoid!

The ToDine Restaurant in the hotel is just fine. Nothing splashy or showy -- just really fresh and excellent food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The wait service seems a little improved from the days at the Arena, several years ago, when you would wait an hour for a beer to be delivered to your teble. (OK, maybe it was 15 minutes -- but that's still a long wait!) Now it is down to like half that much -- I was honestly surprised.

Off the beaten path...
Beth from San Diego Jul 30, 2009
The building itself is a historic orphanage that had been several things including a hostel prior to becoming a hotel with a ... night club. The initial room assigned to us was a loft with a tiny couch, desk and bathroom downstairs and a bed upstairs via narrow spiral staircase. Not ideal for anyone who needs to use the toilet in the night. At least there was a TV in both areas. We requested another room since we thought this floor plan wasn't mentioned in what we had originally booked. The hotel was gracious enough to allow us to move to a much more spacious room on their top floor (elevator from 2nd to 3rd floor was broken). The second room was incredibly stunning. The room had very interesting lines and angles. The walls were painted white, had archway supports and attic-style walls. The bathroom was HUGE and the walls were black shiny subway tiles. There was a soaker tub and a shower in the bathroom. The angles and arches were in the bathroom as well. Not too many places to hang a towel and the place seemed like the remodel just was completed. We didn't find the mirror light switch to shut it off until we asked the front desk (it was "invisible" as it blended into the black tile). The front desk was helpful when directing us to a place to eat - the hotel does have a restaurant but we wanted to go into the neighborhood to check out local fare.

Rent a bike and take a train to the nearby city of Weesp. This town is small and very quaint.."typical Dutch". With a good map, you can spend the whole day riding the well groomed bike trails through the neighboring cities and see windmills and forts. This was the best part of our trip.

Exceeded expectations
Dillontraveller Jul 23, 2009
The hotel's exterior, as well as the interior, were beautiful. The rooms actually included a loft for sleeping, which was an ... unexpected treat. All accomodations inside the room were clean and modern. The location is in a quiet and safe part of the city, but conveniently close to tram stops and a metro station. There is a grocery store a few blocks from the hotel, which can provide meals for travellers on a budget. The hotel also rents out bikes on a daily basis at an affordable rate, so we could tour the city the way the locals do. The staff at the front desk all spoke english, and were tremendous in helping us get around the city in the most affordable way. I don't have anything bad to say about this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Wow! First Class, Still Undiscovered
Doug May 26, 2009
Amsterdam is one wild place. Stop in a coffee house and you'll see what I mean.... Don't do the canal tour on and off cruise ... offered by Gray Lines. It's a rip. Use the street cars. Sweet. The location of the hotel is not in the city center, but the transit system makes it not a big deal. Cabs are very inexpensive, too. The hotel is brand spanking new. Everything from sheets to floors are clean and fresh. The beds are more comfortable than any I have slept in around the world, or even at home for that matter! In May of 2009, the hotel was underpriced by at least 25%. If you can get a room under $140 euros per night, it is a screaming bargain.
