My buddy and I found ourselves in Amsterdam over the holidays. We are both members of the Canadian Forces and were off on our Christmas leave. After base-camping at a Macdonald's and calling a few places we eventually landed on the Hotel Arena.

Myself and my partner went to Amsterdam for 5 days, we stayed in the Easyjet Hotel for the first 4 nights and thought we would treat ourselves to a luxury stay for the last night. Although Hotel Arena is further out form the city (approx 2miles) the building, decor and furnishings are excellent. However the staff that we had the... More

The location is good and not that far from the city centre. Would probably take 30-40min walk, but trams are quite good and run every 7-10mins. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was excellent as it had the balcony work area. Brakfast was very rich and delicious allthough it was expensive. The hotel needs a freshening up.... More

The hotel is near Artis and the Tropenmuseum and is near public transport which will take you directly in to the city center. The hotel is in a beautiful building which use to be an orphanhouse. The interior is modern and they do have spacious rooms with high ceilings. Breakfast buffet is good and includes champagne and fresh fruits. More

Stayed one night for business in this spacy hotel which very well reflects the Dutch culture and 'ziel' as it is located in a robuste merchant house, so it seems (the Dutch invented modern day trade), restyled very eclectically (the Dutch always had a very open, multicultural society), solidly and with care so that it will last for a long...
