Star Service "It sits away from the touristy Red Light District and Dam Square, and although first-timers may balk at the location, a half-hour trudge from Centraal Station, De Pijp is the current it-girl.
" Full review
Afar Magazine "Indulgent in a minimalist way, with dashes of both Japanese modernism and midcentury Scandinavian design in the black wooden floors, oversized white soaking tubs, and all the latest technology." Full review
Wallpaper "In many aspects, the Sir Albert is an unlikely hotel experience. Based on an entirely imaginary character, it is laid out as a well-appointed aristocratic home." Full review

"A 19th-century diamond factory houses this glitzy design hotel." Full review
Fodor's "Set in a late-19th-century former diamond factory, this atmospheric hotel aims to make guests feel like they're staying in a deluxe private mansion." Full review

"Housed in a converted diamond factory, and decorated with careful contemporary taste, the Sir Albert offers a reposeful retreat, popular with the over-30s and corporate travellers." Full review
Jetsetter "An award-winning boutique hotel in the heart of the Latin Quarter, with design-centric interiors." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "His genteel touch is everywhere, from the refined Japanese food in Izakaya to the atmospheric interiors and the impressive selection of books in the study." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique property is nicely situated on the border of De Pijp and the Museum Quarter, within easy walking distance of the city’s Big Three museums and the bustling Albert Cuyp Market." Full review

Opt for a suite if you want a bit more privacy than the standard open-plan bathrooms afford.
Frommer's "The book-lined lobby lounge, outfitted with generous leather seats, cowhide poufs, and a gas fireplace, is a cozy spot...many of the rooms feature high ceilings and equally tall windows" 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
