De Harmonie Edam

Hotel de Harmonie is located along a moat in the historic centre of Edam.

This small-scale hotel is situated above a café, which organises events every day, such as a bridge night or a salsa course. On Friday nights one can mingle with the locals and on Sunday nights there is often live music or a jam session. The five spacious hotel rooms each have private stairs. The rooms are equipped with a shower, toilet and a small kitchen. Hotel guests can use the washer and dryer. All rooms are non-smoking.
