It will certainly be one of our most frequented venues anywhere in Europe. The Hostel itself is set in a converted school & is just a 10-minute walk into the highlights of the centre of the city. Its location slightly out of the centre makes it ideal for youth groups, giving a bit of control to the group leaders over when and where the team visits. The reception, bar & restaurant areas have recently undergone a refurbishment, which makes it a welcoming, fun and stylish place to base the tour. A good continental breakfast, clean & comfortable en-suite rooms & the bar and reception services result in an ideal venue to launch your attack on Den Haag. 4.0 253 reviews ~ #3 of 51 Speciality Lodging in Den Haag MULTI BED, PRIVATE, EN-SUITE ROOMS sky high sports | the rugby tour specialists 9 Den Haag is our favoured destination in the Netherlands. Easily defined as Amsterdam without the headaches, the city is ideal for youth groups wanting an action packed tour in Holland without the distractions of Amsterdam. Walking into Den Haag is like stepping through a Hans Christian Anderson book. A visit to the town of any kind is a real treat. The ancient capital city of the Netherlands offers so much more to the tourist than the more popular newer capital city up the road. Den Haag is Holland without the headaches. For youth groups, Amsterdam is neither ideal nor popular with parents back home. The Hague however, located just an hour away from ‘The Dam’ is The Hofvijer Lake is flanked by the Binenhof on the left and other a tranquil, relaxed and friendly location for a Dutch Rugby government buildings on the right. It is an icon of the city. Tour. That's not to say there isn't enough going on in the evening to keep older teams entertained as well. With Holland being a small country, you can travel around easily. Rugby fixtures and tournaments are available both in the Den Haag area, but visits to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Noordwijk and Rotterdam are all within easy access. As soon as you step into the city, you are met with style and class in abundance.
