Disabled Access In and Around
Average
The conference center, restaurant and bar are fully accessible. There is also an accessible toilet with bars located on the main level. An elevator is located to access the rooms. Some of the rooms in the hotel have space for wheelchair maneuverability. Not all rooms are the same size, so it is recommended to ask for the largest room possible. The doorways to the rooms and bathroom are small (estimated 78cm or a bit smaller), so this may not be an ideal place for people with larger wheelchairs. If a person has a small wheelchair and can manage themselves, this hotel is a possibility. The bathrooms have no stools or specialized equipment for those with disabilities, but specialized equipment can be rented from the company Accessible Travel Netherlands in advance. The entrance to the bathroom varies by room. Some have a small bump between the room and bathroom on the floor. Some bathrooms are more accessible than others, so it is important to let the hotel know what your needs are.
