Michelin Guide "Formerly an orphanage (1890), now an ultra-trendy hotel."
Concierge "The St. Elizabeth building (circa 1890) was a Catholic orphanage turned youth hostel until 1999, when it was upgraded into this happy, still-youth-centric hotel."

Standard rooms look like the orphans never moved out and are to be avoided.
Lonely Planet "A modern, four-star, 116-room hotel with a trendy restaurant, cafe and nightclub." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Built as the St. Elisabeth Orphanage in 1890, the brick building now houses the Hotel Arena, with its trendy restaurant, café, and nightclub." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The restaurant, bar and nightclub are the stars of this former orphanage in a slightly out-of-the-way residential district, so the Arena is ideal for young trendies intent on socialising in situ."
Rough Guide "This place has been thoroughly revamped, transforming a popular hostel into a hip three-star hotel complete with split-level rooms and minimalist decor."

Michelin Guide "Very comfortable rooms."
Frommer's "A stone's throw from the Dam, this hotel, founded in 1911, has an 18th-century facade. Its rooms are super-modern, though, with thick carpets and ample wardrobe space." Full review
Star Service "Planted next door to the Swissotel, this is a viable option for midrange travelers when the rates are low, but it's another story when conventions are in town and rates exceed the offerings." Full review

"There's little in the way of wow factor at The Hotel Amsterdam - De Roode Leeuw besides its buzzing central location." Full review
Fodor's "An elegant 19th-century landmark on a corner of Dam Square offers some surprisingly stylish guest rooms." Full review
Jetsetter "A comfortable and convenient base right in the heart of Amsterdam, a stone's throw from Dam Square." Full review
