Quentin Zoo Hotel is a 4-star hotel on Plantage Middenlaan, in the east of the centre, near Artis Zoo, the Opera and the Carré theatre. Its rooms have a desk and a laptop-size safe, handy if you work during the trip.
Location and getting around
Rembrandtplein is about a 15-minute walk away. The Bloemenmarkt flower market is about 20, and Dam Square and Amsterdam Centraal about 25 minutes on foot.
According to the hotel, the Dutch National Opera & Ballet is about 700 metres away and the Carré theatre about a 9-minute walk, so if you come for a performance you can walk back. For Leidseplein or the museum area, about 30 minutes on foot, a tram or bicycle is worth it.
