Hotel (formerly Hotel Schirman) is a unique
family-run hotel located in front of the Central
Station. Run by Jos and Erika Heijnsdijk,
it is the perfect place whether you are on
a business or a leisure trip. The extra-ordinary
“train theme” of the hotel, you

of yourself - bitten by the travel bug!

are alike! All the 34 rooms are different
from each other catering to the needs of different
guests. All the rooms are tastefully decorated
and are fitted with the latest amenities to
make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The
special “Old Dutch Suite" with
its private garden is a pleasure to dwell
in. Check out the exquisitely beautiful and
comfortable First Class rooms, perfectly decorated
and suitable for all kinds of travelers, more
so for those on business trips.
The informal atmosphere of
the hotel can be best witnessed at the amazing
Pullman Lounge, where many a new and long-lasting
acquaintances are made over fantastic drinks
and snacks. At the same time the hotel lets
you have as much privacy as you want. The
service of the experienced and friendly staff
will make you feel pampered and well attended.
