Michelin Guide "Historic grand hotel on the Dam with various categories of rooms, apartments for rent by the week and buffet breakfast served under a magnificent glass roof dating from 1879."
Frommer's "Some rooms are small, while others have been converted into individually decorated apartments. Their state varies from worn to tastefully renovated." Full review
Fodor's "The monumental Krasnapolsky is one of the few places in Amsterdam where you can still inhale a true Belle Epoque atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet "Pride of place belongs to this 468-room edifice across from the Royal Palace, one of the city's first grand hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The location of this hotel – on Dam Square, overlooking the Koninklijk Paleis... is great."
Rough Guide "Located in a huge and striking mid-nineteenth-century building, this four-star hotel occupies virtually an entire side of Dam Square."
Time Out "Amsterdam's best-known hotel is slam-dunk in the middle of the action, directly opposite the Royal Palace, which it challenges in terms of looks, grace and glamour." Full review
Not For Tourists "Grand, fancy and stylish."
Star Service "About as convenient a location as one could hope for in Amsterdam, wedged between Dam Square and a canal on the edge of the red-light district (a short stroll to shops, restaurants and entertainment)." Full review

"An Amsterdam landmark, which began with a coffee shop in the 1860s, and expanded in fits and starts through various buildings to form a grand hotel on the city’s main square." Full review

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."
i
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."

"The 116-room Hotel Arena is an historic landmark, built in 1889 as the Sint Elisabeth orphanage." Full review
Jetsetter "Holy trinity of hotel, restaurant and club in a former Catholic orphanage near Amsterdam's Oosterpark." Full review
Fodor's "It’s an open, accessible space, which seamlessly merges the building’s historic character with contemporary glass, greenery, and gentle earthy hues to suit its surroundings." Full review
Wallpaper "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
