Schiphol Airport is 21 km away - a 20-minute drive by car or accessible via train and metro with a journey of about 45 minutes using public transport. There is no airport shuttle, but you can take bus 300 or a train to Bijlmer Arena station, then walk 10 minutes or take the metro one stop. The area around the hotel includes an IKEA opposite, and a supermarket and shops are within a 15-minute walk at Bijlmer Arena. The surrounding streets are quiet, though ongoing construction work nearby can cause daytime noise.
