nice place but this is definitely a HOSTEL
i stayed at this place because it seemed like a good value place...and it was! however, this is clearly NOT a hotel by any standard. i have travelled to various places in europe and this is clearly a hostel with a nice lobby. the staff was very friendly and helpful but the room was extremely extremely extremely small.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
i booked a shuttle (using expedia) to take me airport-hotel-airport and it paid off. i paid about 21 euros for the roundtrip ticket...if i had taken a cab, the round trip fare would have been about 110 euros!

Hostel Arena
This hotel might as well be called a hostel that charges too much!! I "splurged" for the Deluxe room and there was nothing deluxe about it. I am used to travel in Europe: small rooms, few ammenities, but Hotel Arena is definitly a hostel not a hotel. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. You can feel the coils in the two twin mattresses that are pushed together to form a double bed. The staff was useless. The only positive of this hotel was that it is near two tram stations (7, 10, and 9, 14) so you can get to anywhere in the city quite easily.
