<description><![CDATA[Wow, from the second I stepped into this impressive old Orphanage-Monastery turned  Hotel; I knew my stay was going to be something special.  the hotel is situated on S- GRAVESANDESTRAAT 51 and is about a 10 min bike ride or tram ride back to Rembrandt Plain but it is worth it.  I have been to Amsterdam 6 times and always stayed on the Singel Canal, but decided to try something a little different.  If you are traveling to Amsterdam I strongly suggest having a look at this place on line and decide if it is for you.  I stayed in a loft apartment and was in seventh heaven. the staff were friendly, polite, helpful and prepared to go out of their way to make my stay above average.  Make sure you have the buffet breakfast and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend this hotel.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Frommers rate the Arena with one star on their three star scale. Originally a "Roman Catholic orphanage", which dates from 1890, the Arena is described as a "friendly, stylish, youth-oriented hotel". Mr. McDonald describes the architecture of this hotel as having a "passing resemblance to Dracula's castle"! Some features have been "faithfully restored" such as "stained-glass windows", "marble columns", "Monumental marble staircases" with "cast-iron banisters" and the "original walls" all of which reminds the author that "they really knew how to do an orphanage in those days". The ex-dormitories are now "stylish doubles and twins", and rooms "line long high-ceilinged corridors", some of which are "split-level", on two floors. These are "individually decorated" and designed by a young "up-and-coming" Dutch designer. The "continental cafe-restaurant" has a "great alfresco terrace in the garden" with an attached bar, where hotel guests "get discounted admission to the nightclub", which is situated in "the old orphanage chapel".  Frommers point out that although the Arena is a little out of the town center, it "isn't too far away", permitting "youthful revelers" to get here to the "nightspot and the outdoor cafe".
