Frommer's "Style marries tradition in the elegant little Singel, near the Brouwersgracht's head in one of Amsterdam's most pleasant and central locations." Full review
Fodor's "Three quirky, charmingly lopsided 17th-century canal houses... good shopping and the Regulierstraat, center of gay nightlife, are a short stroll away." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the few budget choices in the city, the Singel is good for its proximity to the station and accessibility to canal walks."

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."
