I slept like a log at Arena Lodge! Had all the facilities needed (including laundry) plus handy location near supermarket, restaurants and the cinema. Tony was super friendly and helpful, with good tips on things to do in town. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in Palmy.

Very friendly reception and upgraded my room which was much appreciated. Exceptionally clean and lovely to stay in. Nice and close to my daughter where she is flatting (so very convenient) and easy walk to supermarket. Would also be amazing place for if you were watching/participating at sports arena! Thank you very much.
