Artis Zoo

Artis is a haven of peace and quiet right in the city centre of Amsterdam. Artis is a fascinating zoo. In an area of 14 hectares around 700 species of animals provide a magnificent overview of the entire animal kingdom. Amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, mammals and insects... all are superbly represented. Artis's renowned Aquarium brings you face to face with … the secret life of Amsterdam's canals! Around the zoo you'll find many more Dutch and European animal and plant species, as well as more exotic ones. You can also come to quench your thirst for knowledge at the Planetarium, the museums and all kinds of smaller exhibitions.

- dat het heel dicht bij artis ligt
- de badkamer had een vieze geur, het raam kon niet meer dicht en het andere raam viel er helemaal uit. het ontbijt van ook van bijzondere slechte kwaliteit. de broodjes waren helemaal niet lekker. we hadden onze eigen drankjes mee voor de kinderen wegens koemelkallergie en toch moest nog een 1 euro betaald worden voor een banaar glaasje jus doranje. wij komen helaas niet meer terug en hopen een volgende keer beter onthaald te worden in het heerlijke amsterdam.

- the staff were very friendly and the hotel was very cheap and fulfilled our needs, i.e. the room had its own toilet and shower. also the hotel is close to the zoo.
- there was a bit of walking to get to the main parts of the amsterdam.

- good location, next to artis, next to tram. ok when adam is overbooked and no other rooms are free...
- our room was noisy because of the noise inside the hotel, not from the streets. grubby pillows, old installations.

- - symphatiek management en personeel. - goed, schoon bed. - ligging van hotel. - raam kan open.
- - "hippie hotel gone commerical". - sanitair: glibberige douche, wastafel half verstopt, rioollucht gemaskeerd door chloor, benauwd. - prijs/kwaliteit verhouding slecht: in de guldentijd kreeg je voor hetzelfde geld een uitstekend 4-sterren hotel.
