Noodopvang Schiedam (Hargalaan)
The COA reserved rooms at the Novotel hotel on the Hargalaan in Schiedam to temporarily house around 40 status holders from late April for a period of about three months, as part of a wider practice of placing status holders in hotels in small numbers to ease pressure on asylum seekers' centres. The arrangement was a short-term hotel-based measure; no incidents were reported.

Status holders housed in Novotel
COA reserves rooms at the Hargalaan Novotel for around 40 status holders for about three months.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 28 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €1.9m 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.
