How to get from the trainstation in Arnhem to the StayOkay hostel

First of all Arnhem has a good (throlley)bus network, from Arnhem  train station there is a bus service that between every 10 to 20 minutes comes past the bus stop "ziekenhuis Rijnstate" (Hospital). From there its about a 5 minute walk UP the hill to the youth hostel.

You can use the following buslines:

Busline number 20 in the direction "richting Presikhaaf"
Busline number 21 in the direction "richting Velp gld"
Busline number 91 in the direction "richting Apeldoorn".
Busline number  3  in the direction "Alteveer/'t Cranevelt"

The busride takes about 10 minutes.

To get access to the bus you need to get a so called "strippenkaart". You can buy a "strippenkaart" from the bus driver. Ask the busdriver to give you signal when to get of the bus!

Second you can take a so called Treintaxi. When you have a trainticket you can take a Treintaxi.
