Hi guys! I'm going to stay in Aalsmeer for a 2 months course in summer. Any suggestions for where to stay? Since it's a budget travel, I just need a clean & safe place to lodge... <BR>Thanks a lot! <BR>=^_^=

There are 3 hotels in Aalsmeer. <BR>'t Schouwse Hof, tel. 31 297 32 55 51 <BR>de Chariot tel. 31 297 36 80 92 <BR>Het Wapen van Aalsmeer tel. 31 297324321 <BR>Or try a hotel in Haarlem or Amsterdam, which are both relatively close to Aalsmeer.

Thanks Sjoerd! <BR>But do you have any idea about apartments in Aalsmeer for temporary rentals? <BR>Because of the limited budget, my friend would prefer not to stay in a hotel. An <BR>accommodation near the flower auction market would be great! <BR>Thanks again! <BR>

Hi ... <BR> <BR>What you could do is look up the name of the tourist information board in the Dutch Yellow pages (there is a web site ... don't know the name ... I believe that there is also a English version) <BR>When you arrive, ask them for a list of local b&bs .... in the Netherlands you stay with families .... find out if any will allow you to stay long term. <BR> <BR>When I worked in the Netherlands (near Aalsmeer ... assuming your friend is going to be working in the big flower market there) I stayed with a local family for 6 months .... I believe it was about 20 gilders a night ... not sure of the exchange rate. Of course I went home most weekends, so it may be different in your case .... <BR> <BR>try some of the outlining towns etc.... eg Uithoorn ... prounced Outhoorn ... <BR> <BR>Hope that helps <BR> <BR>Mark <BR>
