Re: 2010 REXXLA meeting - hotel information

[Thomas.Schneider.Wien]

Hello Jon,
   *no problem*.

I did already book the Hotel. Thanks for the hint :-)

I only do hope you do have *no objections* that I did forward your valuable info
to ibm-NetRexx!

Your accurate description might help others to reduce the Internet researches required :-)

Hi Thomas,

Sorry my mistake, the bus stop outside the hotel is called Gooisepoort and not Gooisekant

Hi Thomas

the hotel is at
Bastion Hotel
Audioweg 1
1322 AT  Almere
Tel.: [phone]
Fax.: [phone]


There is a train station at Almere Muziekwijk with 2 trains an hour to Schipol & 2 trains an hour to Amsterdam Centraal.  The stop before Almere Muziekwijk in each case is called Weesp.

From the train station it is possible to get a bus (No 4 - 8 busses per hour) to Gooisekrant West Bus stop which is on Barkweg (I think this is the last stop for the bus, it may continue on to Almere Poort if it has been built).  A few blocks walk from the Hotel & Symposium building. 

The Symposium is at TransistorStaat 55, which is on the south side of transistorstraat (as far as I can tell) next to the Roche Diagnostics Nederland VB Building

You can see all of these on this google map

You can also get a bus 155 from Almere Centraal station to the hotel itself (saving you a 10 minute walk), but there are only 2 busses an hour.  The stop outside the hotel is called Gooisekant.


You should note that I have never been to Almere - It did not even exist last time I was in the Netherlands.  All of this information has been got from the internet and may be wrong. There may be better or cheaper ways to do all of this.

Good luck with your trip,

Jon

Hello Jon,
   thanks for the info.

Do you already have an exact address of the Bastion you are staying?
10 minutes walk would be perfect for me!

Hi Thomas,

I haven't booked yet as I am awaiting the OK from my work, but I found the Bastion on expedia and it looks to be 10 minutes walk from where the symposium is happening.  Expedia offered flights from UK + 2 nights for £250.

I'm sure that you can get cheaper accomodation if you want.  There seem to be several B&Bs on Almera, but you need to research them a bit and my dutch is non existant.

Also, if you wanted to stay in Amsterdam itself, there is a train every 30 minutes to Almera Musiekwijk station from Amsterdam Centraal and from Musiekwijk you can get a bus to close to the symposium.

hope that helps,

Jon

Thomas,

part of the deal for the new way of organizing symposia is that it is up to you were you stay. I know that Jon Wolfers is staying at Bastion Hotel and apparently had a good deal there.

best regards,

René,
