We herewith give you some help to find the location of our hotel in the centre of Amsterdam. If you need more information, feel free to contact us anytime!

 
On Tuesday 28 May there will be an official strike of all public transport in The Netherlands; trains, busses, trams, metros and ferries will not be driving from 5AM Tuesday until 5AM Wednesday.

If you’re coming to the hotel from the airport Schiphol, you can reach us with a taxi or with the Connexxion Hotel Shuttle bus.

If you’re going to the airport or to the train station from the hotel, the reception can order a taxi for you. Tip; order the taxi on time, it will be very busy.

If you’re going from the hotel to the centre, the reception can order you a taxi, or you can rent a bicycle (not possible to reserve, subject to availability).

The strike will cause a lot of inconvenience for all travellers. It will cause traffic jams and long waiting times for taxis and the Hotel Shuttle bus. Please keep this in mind if you need to be somewhere on time!

From 1 January 2018 the LEZ (low emission zone) starts in Amsterdam for coaches and busses older than 1-1-2005. This means that it is not possible to drive inside of the Ring A10 with a bus or coach older than 2005. This is also valid for busses and coaches with a foreign license plate. It is not possible to ask for an exemption.
If you are driving a bus/coach build after 2005 , you are allowed to drive within the Ring A10.
