azc Eindhoven (Keizersgracht)
The COA emergency reception on the Keizersgracht in central Eindhoven, spread across the Glow and Dirven hotels and housing unaccompanied minors and adult asylum seekers, has the worst incident record of any reception site in the city. After an initial period of repeated disturbances that worried residents, the municipality confirmed the location would close in January 2026, with the minors moving to a site on the Kanaaldijk-Zuid.

Keizersgracht reception to close
The Glow and Dirven hotel sites, the worst-scoring Eindhoven location for incidents, are set to close with residents relocated.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €80 per person per night for a regular centre, the 18 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €526k per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
