The higher-priced rooms in this hotel have a view of a verdant lawn—a reminder of the hotel's location in the district known as the Plantage. The Artis zoo is opposite the hotel, and the Tropenmuseum is within walking distance, which makes the hotel a great choice for kids. Rooms are light and cheerful, if a bit unremarkable. Pros: rooms designed for families, leafy neighborhood, close to zoo. Cons: no particular Dutch flavor, out-of-the-way location.
