Do we have to walk far from our hotel room to the festival event rooms?
Not if you have a room in the festival hotel itself. However if you are in the overflow hotel, an special Taxi Voucher can be obtained for around € 3,50. This voucher can be exchanged for one ride between Theaterhotel Almelo and Hotel Hengelo or vice versa, using our special taxi service. The schedule can be found in the lounge of both hotels.
What the heck is an overflow hotel?
Most hotels have a limited room capacity, Theater Hotel Almelo is no exception. It is a large hotel, but there will be more people wanting to book a room for the festival than this hotel has to offer. For this reason a partner hotel, Hotel Hengelo, will be used to accomodate the 'overflow' of visitors. Hotel Hengelo is of a slightly more luxurious nature, but will offer its rooms for the exact same rate as Theater Hotel Almelo. You will automatically be booked in Hotel Hengelo as soon as Theaterhotel Almelo has sold out. We offer a taxi service between both hotels for a small fee. You will receive your breakfast menu at the overflow hotel, your dinner however, will be served at Theater Hotel Almelo.
Why didn't you guys book a hotel with enough rooms?
Because there are not that many out there that offer all the facilities we need, such as large rooms (like a 845-seat theatre for example) AND enough rooms for everybody. The few that do are more expensive and that would mean increased ticket and room prices.
Can we bring our own food and drinks and consume them on the festival grounds?
No. The festival hotel has reasonable prices. If you have booked a room, dinner and breakfast are included. Of course, what you do IN YOUR OWN ROOM is your own business. Also, please keep your room (reasonably) clean. The fact that the room rates increase each year has something to do with the mess people leave behind for the hotel cleaning staff to pick up, so please take this into consideration.
How do I get to the festival?
Read the directions page of the website.
Can I leave my car there?
Yes, the hotel has a parking garage. Parking fees may apply. Please inquire with the hotel for more information.
Where can I leave my stuff if I do not have a room?
There will be a manned cloak room to leave your goods. However, leaving your belongings there is at your own risk!
