"Very comfortable rooms."
"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
"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

"Formerly an orphanage (1890), now an ultra-trendy hotel."
"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.
"A modern, four-star, 116-room hotel with a trendy restaurant, cafe and nightclub." Full review
"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
"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."
"This place has been thoroughly revamped, transforming a popular hostel into a hip three-star hotel complete with split-level rooms and minimalist decor."

"The property fully embraces its secluded location at the edge of the city’s Oosterpark with double-height glass walls that give the new rooms a calming outlook. " Full review
