Press In the press Photo gallery 2004 Hotels Because EPC is very close to the airport there are a lot of hotels to choose from. Another option is one of the many bed and breakfast places. Below is a short (and incomplete) overview of some good options for your overnight stay. Some of them are real nice budget locations, others have more common prices, but are also very affordable if room sharing is an option. Rates can change at any moment, so always check with the hotel for exact pricing. See the travel section for information about shuttle bus services from the airport to many hotels and back. Travelling times from from the airport to a hotel varies from 15 to 45 minutes. From the hotel to EPC takes about 15 to 80 minutes.   Rates 1)   Hotel 1/2/3 person(s) breakfast tourist tax distance (km) distance (minutes) 2) Hotel Zwanenburg Olmenlaan 52 Zwanenburg +31 20 4978020 65/75/95 8 (included) 1.6 11-40 (bus or walking) Bastion Deluxe Hoofddorp Vuursteen 1 2132 LZ Hoofddorp +31 20 6532611 81/86/- 11 5.50 16 50 (bus and train) Bastion Velsen Vlietweg 20 2071 KW Santpoort-Noord +31 23 5387474 67/67/- 11 1 16 65 (bus and train) Formule 1 Pieter Lieftinckweg 10 1505 HX Zaandam +31 75 631 90 61 43/43/43 4 (unknown) 16 60 (bus) Etap Schipholweg 185 1171 PK Badhoevedorp +31 20 348 35 33 57/57/57 5 (unknown) 12.5 60 (bus and train) Van der Valk Akersloot Geesterweg 1/A 1921 NV Akersloot +31 251 36 18 88 70/75/85 9 (unknown) 24 80 (bus and train) 1) Rates in EUR per person per night, without breakfast 2) Travelling time by bus and/or train If you cannot find anything suitable among this list, you can always try to suit your needs by using some hotel websites (be warned: there are a lot of them!) We advise to try the following links: www.hotels.nl www.dagjeweg.nl www.weekendjeweg.nl (some very nice weekend-discounts can be found here!) At the moment we are working on another budget overnight stay location. If this works, transport to and from that location will be arranged by the EPC organisation. For more travelling information, see the travel section. Etap hotel shuttle service If there are enough visitors (over 20) staying at the budget and most nearby Etap hotel, we will arrange a special shuttle bus. This will take you to and from the EPC facility for a small fare (EUR 2.50 one way). This will save you money and time. If you plan on staying at the Etap hotel, please let us know at barry@pinballeurope.nl. Bed and breakfast Zwanenburg is exactly in the middle between Haarlem and Amsterdam. Both cities have several nice bed and breakfast possibilities. There are easily found at bedandbreakfast.pagina.nl. There are also a lot of very useful links to other B & B websites. Tip: Bed and breakfast Rosenhof or Stayokay (both in the city of Haarlem). Generally, they are all about 60 minutes travelling to EPC and are much more affordable compaired to the hotels. But of course there is no shuttle bus taking you there...   This website is a joint venture between the European pinball associations involved with organizing the EPC.
