Rooms and doors of Stadionbuurt
Visitors here stay mostly in modern hotels around the Stadionplein and along the ring road, or in rented flats in the brick blocks and newer apartment buildings. The hotels are practical and well equipped, used by business guests who work in Zuidas and by sports and event visitors. The flats in the older blocks have the usual steep stairs but are well proportioned, often with balconies onto inner gardens; the newer buildings of the Olympic quarter have lifts and large windows. Evenings are calm. A few restaurants around the stadium stay open until about ten, the Stadionweg is quiet after dark, and the Amsterdamse Bos lies a short cycle ride to the south for anyone who wants a morning run. Trams connect the area to the museum quarter and the centre, and taxis reach the hotels easily from the ring road, which makes the journey for an evening visitor simple. On match days and during events at the stadium the Stadionplein is busier, but the crowds clear quickly afterwards. Business travellers staying for several nights often find the area pleasantly free of the late noise that fills the centre at weekends.
