"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

"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
"Just five minutes’ around the corner from its sister hotel the Vondel, this is the latest in a chic mini-chain, with the same contemporary vibe and high standards."
Michelin Guide
"Two 18C townhouses have been converted into one at Jan Luijkenstraat 76, hence the name. Comfortable accommodation, which might not be the ultimate in luxury but is definitely stylish and elegant."
