Hi
I found out that this is always the case if there are two or more POIs with the same name in one city. Amsterdam has two POIs with the same name: the city (place=city) and a hotel (tourism=hotel). Apeldoorn had even three POIs. Needless to say, that you can find with the City Navigator Europe V8 (yes, already quite some years old) all POIs. All POI names are de-duplicated so that there is only one per map and region.
Not really sure what the point of that was as in almost all cases I would expect that two POI's are different even if they have the same name, unlike the situation with roads. Could that be a try to solve the problem with duplicate POIs if you have one POI generated from a node and one from an area? This should be a fault in the osm-data and should be fixed there.
