Wifi
There is wireless internet throughout the building. The networks are "Ambon", "Lombok" and "iirf" - the password for all of them is "indonesia".
KeyCards
If you stay in one of the IIRE rooms your card gives you access to IIRE via the front door. If you stay in a StayOkay room (only relevant for large groups), you have to enter via StayOkay's main entrance (the other side of the building).
ATM
The nearest ATM is at Sumatrastraat, just before Javastraat. Turn right from the IIRE front door, right again when you reach Borneostraat (where the tram rails run) and the first to your left is Sumatrastraat.
Getting around
Public transportation
- Tickets can be bought when boarding the bus or tram. It is however cheaper to buy a Strippenkaart in advance (can be bought from StayOkay frontdesk)
- Busses, trams and metro runs from 06.00 to 00.30. In the night there is a less regular service of night busses
- Tram 14 runs from Timorplein to the city centre (Waterlooplein, Dam, Jordaan)
- Bus 22 runs from Javaplein to the Central Station
- Tram 3 runs from Muiderpoort to Albert Cuypstraat and Museumsplein.
- The Amsterdam Muiderpoort station can be handy for trains connecting to the airport, the central station and other destinations. There is a journey planner at here
- See English language information on public transportation in Amsterdam
Bike rental
It is possible to rent bikes from StayOkay.
Laundry
There is no laundry facilities available for visitors. It is possible to do laundry at StayOkay, tokens can be bought from the reception.
Recreation
Cinema
The Studio K art cinema located in the same complex offers reduced price (5,50 / 6,00 euro) for holders of IIRE and StayOkay keycards. All foreign language movies are subtitled into Dutch.
