Guesthouse Vertoef

"With 45 rooms, Guesthouse Vertoef is a medium sized hotel with a large impact. You won't easily find a place in Nijmegen that is equally sustainable. Electricity comes from their solar panels, and warm water is generated by a heat pump. These measures were installed to make the repurposed building entirely fossil-free (it used to house offices). Even the logo of the Guesthouse is inspired by sustainability: it depicts an igloo, one of the first circular buildings. Circular not as in round, but as referring to circularity. ;) In terms of suppliers for food, cleaning materials, and more, Vertoef is quite selective. They work together with local businesses that supply organic goods. The bikes you can rent at Guesthouse Vertoef deserve a special mention, as they have been upcycled by people with disabilities. If you want to know more, I definitely recommend checking out the website. There are several videos about how sustainability measures were implemented. Bonus points for transparency! * Note: please do not use the booking.com link attached to this pin, but instead book directly via the hotel's own website to combat the exploitation caused by booking.com having a monopoly as an accommodation platform."
