Accommodation

Are you looking for a hotel to stay in Leeuwarden? We have a recommendation for you:

Stenden Hotel is in the same building as the short course, so you won’t have to travel far in the morning. The hotel is a 4-star Hotel in Leeuwarden and a great location for the short course. However, because of its location on the edge of the city center of Leeuwarden it is also great to discover the city.

There is only a limited number of rooms available, so act quick before they are all gone!
