Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were nicely spacious, modern, and big, making it a great stay for my daughters. Everything was clean and tidy, including the new bathroom. The service, with housekeeping and a welcome drink, was top-notch. The location was excellent, very central, with convenient amenities like a microwave and hotplates, and right near where the river cruise boats dock. Although the dining experience was poor, the facilities were satisfactory, and the hotel offered great value for the price.
The hotel's location is superb, in central Haarlem near the impressive Grote Kerk. The rooms had issues with air conditioning and accessibility, but the staff were friendly and welcoming. The dining options were satisfactory, and the hotel's facilities were decent.
The hotel was functional, but it felt a bit outdated and in need of a refresh. The location was very convenient, right in the center of town, but some areas looked run down. The dining options were average, with limited variety. On the bright side, the service was decent and the side door entrance was handy.
I found the hotel's location to be superb, right in the heart of Haarlem with an excellent view of The Grote Kerk. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, though the fixed head made it challenging to carry our stroller upstairs initially. We were pleased with the credit card guarantee upon booking, ensuring our reservation.
The hotel is fantastically located right in the heart of Haarlem, making it ideal for sightseeing and enjoying the city vibe. The room was not ready on time, but it was conveniently situated next to the entrance and had useful amenities like an electric kettle. The breakfast was delicious, and the service was welcoming, despite dining in a slightly dark room. However, parking might be a challenge due to the central location.
The hotel is situated in the heart of bustling cafés and shops, offering convenience for exploring nearby attractions. The rooms, while clean, lack modern decor and some essential amenities like a functioning mini-fridge. The basic breakfast comes at an additional cost, and the overall room ambiance is dim with noticeable wear and tear. Despite these drawbacks, the central location provides easy access to local eateries and attractions.
The hotel is in a central location within the lovely city of Haarlem, close to various restaurants and tourist attractions. The rooms, while lacking air conditioning, are clean and comfortable. The service is friendly and welcoming, though there were some issues with noise and the bathroom floor being wet post-showering. The dining options were a bit expensive but featured delicious dishes like Pork Belly. Overall, it's a good choice for a stay in Haarlem with some room for improvement in certain areas.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though clean, felt outdated with an old-fashioned design reminiscent of the 80s. However, they were equipped with comfortable beds, a desk, a flat-screen TV, and cozy chairs, making it suitable for families. The location was convenient, near tourist attractions, but the dining experience left much to be desired with mediocre food served in an uncomfortable setting. Service was decent, with attentive housekeeping and a welcome drink upon arrival.
The hotel is located in the heart of Haarlem, making it a great base for exploring the area, with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. However, carrying luggage through the rain due to limited access can be a hassle. The rooms are basic and situated above lively restaurants and bars, creating a vibrant atmosphere, but they can feel damp. The dining experience is enjoyable with regional dishes offered, although the setting may lack natural light.
The hotel's location is its only merit, situated at a walking distance from the city centre and Grand Place. However, the rooms on the upper floors are uncomfortable, hot, and noisy, making it hard to rest properly. The unhelpful service from the reception staff added to the disappointment of the stay.
The hotel's location is amazing, with comfy rooms but some noise concerns. The service was good, and it's perfect as a base for exploring. Dining was enjoyable, and the facilities were convenient but need improvements.
