ACCOMMODATION Due to the interconnection with Velo-city and all the decentralized events, AGM organizers refrain from designating one official accommodation. We recommend two options:
1) Hotel Haarhuis - is across the station in Arnhem, a good central location for AGM and Velo-city 2017 Arnhem-Nijmegen http://www.hotelhaarhuis.nl/nl/ 2) Mercure Hotel Nijmegen Centre - is very close to the station in Nijmegen, so therefore also a good option. http://www.accorhotels.com/nl/hotel-1356-mercure-hotel-nijmegen-centre/index.shtml
