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."

Fodor's "These two 18th-century buildings on leafy Jan Luykenstraat may look traditional, but in the lounges and guest rooms everything is stylishly contemporary." Full review
Rough Guide "Just five minutes’ around the corner from its sister hotel the Vondel, this is the latest in a chic mini-chain, with the same contemporary vibe and high standards."
Michelin Guide "Two 18C townhouses have been converted into one at Jan Luijkenstraat 76, hence the name. Comfortable accommodation, which might not be the ultimate in luxury but is definitely stylish and elegant."
