"Formerly an orphanage (1890), now an ultra-trendy hotel."

"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."

"Built as the St. Elisabeth Orphanage in 1890, the brick building now houses the Hotel Arena, with its trendy restaurant, café, and nightclub."

"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."

"Where better to experience a city on the water than on a boat-hotel moored permanently to a dock on the IJ waterway northwest of Centraal Station?"

Be sure to ask for a room with a view on the water, to avoid the uninspiring quay.

"Five minutes’ walk from Centraal Station, this floating hotel is usually populated by dazed, Europe-in-four-days bus groups and packs of Brit boys/girls celebrating bucks’/hens’ nights."

Time Out
"Convenient for Centraal Station, the docklands and hops across to Noord, this a good bet if you're looking for good, clean accommodation with the odd frill, like free in-house movies."
