Overnight safety

- There is a guest phone on the reception desk, with a card containing emergency numbers lying beside it.
- In case of an emergency please first call the emergency services via 112 (police, doctor, fire brigade).
- Next, please call the emergency backup of the hotel at the following number: +31 (0) 73 204 88 40.
- The emergency backup will arrive at the hotel within 6 minutes after the call.

About de Soete Moeder
We like to immerse our guests in luxury. But like the nuns, we also like to be frugal. On each other and on nature. For instance, we separate our waste, only use green electricity and wash with ecological detergents. Furthermore, the reuse of the listed building and the furnishings – partly with vintage items – are not only beautiful and characteristic, but also extremely sustainable!
A special feature of the Kloosterhotel is that, as a training company, it offers opportunities to young people who could use an extra helping hand.
Hotel room facilities
Our rooms provide a nice breathing space. If you happen to hear a very soft buzz, please know that this is not Mother Superior snoring, but most likely the air conditioning system. All rooms are equipped with AC, which can be operated via the control panel in the room. Also, mobile ACs and fans can be requested at the reception desk. All rooms are equipped with a centrally operated CO2-controlled ventilation system; this guarantees fresh air.
