The room was great and very fashionable.
The room must be a bit cleaner (the floor to be more exactly)

Hotel is really nice. rooms are great..we got a free upgrade..apparently.
Arrived at check in to be told we must pay eur75 deposit. also, had to pay for breakfast...even though we had room only rate. they make you pay for it and you can be refunded when you check out. strange i thought. in the rooms there is no radio, but access to a few cds which costs eur3.00 per cd. we paid for late check out but still were called at 7am 3 times by reception to wake us up.

We stayed in a fresh new room. plenty of facilities available as well.
I ended up walking the distance to the hotel from central station and it took forever, however that was not the hotel's fault at all. perhaps just put a comment that a tram or metro train is easy to reach the hotel.

Has a great bar and club on site (did not go do the club, but the bar is fun)
Far from center and most fun, so you'll have to take a tram/bike/cab.

The staff were very helpful and kind, the hotel inside and out is beautiful and interesting
The only negative thing was the set up of the room, but its understandable the way amsterdam architecture is, and the bathroom was completely see through to the sitting area

The arena hotel has been recently refurbished and now boasts a new (very flashy) wing with dual floor rooms. i was very impressed with the staff, all very kind and helpful! the hotel is situated about 15 minutes from the city centre (walk/cycle). perfect distance to get a good nights sleep away from the hustle and bustle. the hotel has a club within the complex but it is completely seperate and should not put anyone off as even though it was open till 4am, we did not hear any of the action taking place! food is good although a tad pricey, rooms are spacious and clean with very good facilities. we stayed in one of their so called 'loft rooms' in the new section and would highly reccommend these rooms to anyone looking for a good place to chill in the dam. the loft rooms would be well suited to traveling couples!
