I was surprised the hotel is four stars hotel. I've booked for family with 5 people and was told at check-in that room is not for 5 and they blamed for Expedia. However I finally got a family room and more surprise when I opened the door which room was not setup, the second bed without cover, no pillows, not blanket. We had to wait for additional hour for them to find and set up second and third bed and at the end they did not even provide the blanket for queen bed, they gave us two single (twin) blankets. Another interesting thing, the hallway lead to our room, hotel staffs used as laundry stuffs area which I've never seen this in my life. To be fair for this hotel, it's quiet location, walkable to tram station. But I would not recommend this hotel at all.

Check in was speedy and front desk staff was excellent and was able to address all of our questions and requests with exceptional professionalism and timeliness. We do have some issues with the room cleaning and will be addressing it with the property management. Overall, it's a good place to stay while in Amsterdam!

Good location for family. Beware they try to charge extra for my family of 5, even though the room says it sleeps 5+ in Expedia, they want to charge more for my booking when I arrived above the quoted price.

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.

Very few decent food options near the property. It's located in a beautiful park that becomes quite sketchy in the night. Asked for money non stop, both day and night, trash all over the ground. Many many many rats

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.
