We have a 3 1/2 hour layover at Amsterdam (Schipol) anybody ever use the Mecure Hotel shower facility? Will we have enough time for a quickie?

Lily

A quickie in the shower?

Similar to my question, Mimi: Quickie what?

I was thinking along the same lines, but since I'm not familiar with Schipol I wasn't sure where to recommend for a quickie.

Puts a whole new meaning to the term "layover"...

Poor Lily. If you were looking for a real answer, I know three of the above posters and they are very nice gals just having a bit of fun. And anyone named TravelNut has to be a good person as well. Please don't be offended.

If I had 3 1/2 hours I would hop a train and go into Amsterdam for a fast look around. Perhaps you have already been to Amsterdam and would rather have a quickie.......

Happy new year Lily. I hope you don't get upset with our teasing.
Thanks, judi

Well it is Amsterdam!

well, actually now that you mention it that would be fun too!

Actually, we have a layover in the middle of 21 hours of flying and I just know a shower would feel good....and um well I'm sure the other will too! Happy New Year all!

I just read this thread to my husband and he is rolling. Now he is getting future air travel ideas.

You're a good sport, Lily. And, I hope you get an honest answer soon.

Oooh, Lily! You're such a good sport. I have no idea about the availablity of showers there, but I hope you have a good time.

LOL!!!

The <b>Serious</b> Answer:
You can shower in Schiphol in the Departure Lounge near Gate E. The site with a map is http://content.schiphol.nl/info/plat...rzieningen.htm

I presume you have the facts and are looking for the experience.. I would email or call and make sure they have plenty of 'walk-up' availability, or see if you can reserve a shower room for a specific time during your break.

If you are transferring at Schiphol and have enough transit time, then a shower is going to provide you with a welcome and refreshing break.
The showers are located in Hotel Mercure on the first floor of Lounge 3.
Hotel Mercure is located in the passenger area beyond security and is therefore only accessible by (transferring and departing) passengers.
The hotel is open 24 hours a day, so you can go there any time you like.
The cost of using a shower amounts to EUR 12.50 (including towels, soap and shampoo).

Oh, TravelNut, thank you for posting this! Makes it easier for everybody to look for this kind of experience quot;&gt;

ttt

thank you all! I not only now have the info I need but I had a great time getting it! I'm leaving Sunday for a 2 week safari - so happy new year and cheers!

Happy New Year Lily and wishes for a beautiful safari. And thanks for the good giggle!! BTW, I never thought about taking a shower while hanging around Schipol. Great idea which I will remember.

Have a wonderful safari, Lily!

And I, too, enjoyed the little bit of humor here. Thank you for playing along!

Have a fabulous trip, Lily! And, of course, enjoy that quickie!

Wishing Lily A happy New Year. I knew she'd come clean, quickly!!
It seems so long since we had such fun nicely.
Thank you Lily.
