The SteemFest's Volkshotel - Package Deal: € 285 per room for 3 nights!

in #steemfest • 7 years ago (edited)

Reserve your room before 12 October 2016!

"Volkshotel is a place for single moms. For Stockbrokers and punk rockers. For dandies and poets. Dishwashers and Underwater Welders. For biologists, night bloomers and artists. A place for everyone. Volkshotel creates meetings and the meetings create Volkshotel. This is a hotel of the people. This is Volkshotel."   source: Volkshotel.nl

 

For SteemFest we have found a great hotel with 130 rooms available. It's called the (SteemFest) Volkshotel and has been built in the renovated former editorial offices of national newspaper "De Volkskrant" (hence the name).

The hotel is located on the south-east center side of Amsterdam very close to the River Amstel (from which the boats towards the conference venue depart) and boasts 2 clubs, a lobby cafe, obviously free wifi, three elevators, rooftop sauna's and hot-tubs with a fascinating view over the city.

This hotel is not your regular straight forward hotel. Here is the summary of Telegraph's review: (8/10 rate):
"The former offices of De Volkskrant newspaper have been given vibrant and stylish new life as an affordable hotel, with a club, restaurant, and even artists-in-residence. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, seeming more spacious than they really are. A rooftop bar-restaurant offers adventurous new-Dutch cuisine."

The Volkshotel is only 2 years old and opened it's doors beginning of July 2014 and grown in popularity ever since. It's quite extraordinair to be able to have such an availability.

The Rooms:


At the bottom of this post, more impressions of the hotel

We have opted for the 'Sir Standard' Rooms (Rack Rate € 149 / night):
"A double bed, a shower and toilet, what else do you need? Well, maybe a tv and a safe are a nice addition. And with 18m2 there's enough room to do the Waltz (or roly poly). Not much else to say, just the perfect kind of ‘standard’"

For this room a package price of € 285 for 3 nights per room was arranged.

How to book the € 285 / room / 3 nights - package at SteemFest Volkshotel?

We have an exclusive block on 130 of 140 rooms until 12 OCTOBER 2016, be sure to book your room before that date!

Because the hotel blocked all rooms for the SteemFest Dates (11/12/13 November (checkout on Monday 14 November)) you have to write a special email with Credit Card Authorization to claim your room:

  1. Fill out the Credit Card Authorization Form you find here. You can use Mac Preview or Adobe Acrobat to 'annotate' that pdf with your credit card details. (Note: Volkshotel will only use it to authorise € 0.01 to validate your credit card and confirm your reservation)

  2. Email the filled out Credit Card Authorization Form and this text:

  • Can I stay longer in the hotel or come earlier to explore Amsterdam by myself?
    This is no problem. The rate of € 95 will be exclusively available for the other nights as well. Just change the dates in the email and re-calculate the nights * € 95 for your Creditcard Authorisation Form

  • Do I need to book in advance?
    Yes, we recommend you book in advance. The exclusive SteemFest Block reservation of the rooms expires on 12 October 2016! The hotel is also a business and should not all rooms be reserved by then, they become available for the general market. You can still try to book after 12 October tho.

      Price update

      The price mentioned in the article is adjusted by the Volkshotel:

      If you want to stay shorter these are the prices:

      How many people can stay in 1 room?
      Two people can stay in 1 room. The price will stay the same: € 285 for 3 nights (room price).

      Can I get a clarification, does this mean they will do two single beds for the same price as one double bed?
