Artis Zoo

Artis, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands, founded in 1838, shows its historical character even before you walk through the gates: two golden eagles are perched proudly atop the main entrance. People enjoy the 19th-century atmosphere of the gardens: the winding paths, majestic trees, the fascinating sculptures and the monumental historical buildings. 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.

  • (Families | Posterholt, Netherlands | 22-04-2008)
  • Score:
  • excellently located, friendly, family-run hotel that offers real value for money. you wont find anywhere else in amsterdam so well situated for ease of access to centraal station (15 mins walk, less on tram), or the centrum district (10 mins walk to nieuwmarkt), or away from the noise of the hotels right smack in the middle of town. good nights sleep, anyone? breakfast is served in a lovely old drawing-room type area. so much better than the "canteen" feel of other places i have stayed at. all in all - and i mean this as a compliment - its not really like staying at a hotel - more like guesting with a family. i will definitely make this place top of my list for staying at in future visits to the dam.

  • no.

  • Score:
  • friendly staff. homely feel. peaceful location. easy walk to city centre (about 15 minutes). close to tram stop. park, canal and wonderful botanical gardens on the same street.

  • (Couples | Lytham, United Kingdom | 22-03-2007)
  • Score:
  • the hotel was clean, secure and in a good location, next to the botanical gardens. everything is within walking distance and there are tram stops near by. the breakfast is good value with plenty of choice. the staff are friendly, rooms and bathrooms are clean, and the hotel provided a hair dryer, plug/mobile phone adaptors and alarm clock. having a fridge and a kettle was also a bonus. my only quibble (very slight) would be the steep stairs and soft mattress.

  • nothing significant or major. as stated before the mattress was soft and the stairs a bit steep but thats all.
