Q-Factory hotel is very conveniently located close to the Troppen Museum, the Royal Tropical Institute, and Artis (The Amsterdam Zoo). It also is very convenient and inexpensive to take the Tram into the city center where the Van Gogh and National Museums are located as well as dozens and dozens of shops and places to eat. The hotel rooms are a bit Spartan but the hotel staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable.
