Hotel Den Bosch

We visited a lot of hotels in the area, but we couldn't find anything that fits all our wishes. The biggest problem was the amount of (single)rooms per hotel so we decided to not arrange the hotel. To help you, we have set up a list with some hotels in Den Bosch which are in the area, but of course you are free to book something else. If you need help with finding a room or want to know if the area is close to the meeting point, please let us know. In the next post we put a map of the city with the locations of the hotels and the places we visit in Den Bosch. You can search on websites like booking.com, air bnb or on the website of the hotel itselves.Please let us know if you book a hotel, so we know where everybody stays during the weekend!

This looks amazing! Wish I could make it, but it's right after teaching term starts for me, so it's very difficult to get away. Thanks so much for organizing this.

Best,
