Frommer's "Maybe too close to the Red Light District for some people's taste, and on a slightly seedy street, the Winston is a step up from grungy and has a hang-loose, alternative rep." Full review
Lonely Planet "Most rooms are 'art' rooms: local artists were given free rein, with results from super-edgy (entirely stainless steel) and playful to questionably raunchy." Full review
Rough Guide "Part of the St Christopher’s Inns chain, this self-consciously young and cool hotel has funky rooms decorated with crazy art, and a busy ground-floor bar that has regular live music."

"People book a room at the St Christopher's at Winston Hotel to have fun and mingle with like-minded revelers." Full review
Time Out "Now part of St Christopher's Inns, a UK-based hostel chain, the legendary Winston still manages to maintain its youthful, party-loving atmosphere and arty rooms." Full review
Let's Go "Hotel Winston feels more modern and continental than the other boozing-and- snoozing complexes on the street, thanks in part to the attached sleek bar and trendy club." Full review

"Hip, high-energy, with a popular bar and club attached, and very much part of the red-light district: this is a place to party, not for early nights or a quiet break." 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."

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
