Staff were great. Lobby and restaurant were very good- great breakfast. However they are slowly renovating rooms and hallways- floor 1 (where our room was)has not been completed. The hallways are half painted with wires from previous lights hanging out. The room was very clean and beds comfortable. The location is perfect.

Two days in the Netherlands

My friend and I chose to stay in Haarlem. It was easy to get to Amsterdam for sightseeing. The hotel in Haarlem was undergoing some new paint but you would hardly know the workers were there. The front desk staff was great (Rolph) and the location could not have been better. Overall it was a great experience that I would repeat.

The hotel is in a wonderful location. The drawback of the location is the 58€ parking for less than 24 hours at the closest city owned parking garage. Outrageous.

The very competent clerk named Rolf was very kind and was able to get us into a room early. He made great recommendations for us to visit a nearby windmill (Adriaan) and that made for a great day! Room was comfortable, shower worked well, and breakfast was delicious. Very satisfied with it all. The location is between several outdoor restaurants on the side of the Grote St Bavo. Don't use the Google maps, it will take you away from the front door! Just get to the big church and walk around it. It was lovely to hear the church bells from the hotel, but they did not ring all night and did not disturb sleep.

Lovely hotel in Haarlem

I enjoyed my visit tremendously. The woman who helped me check in was very kind and recommended places to go. The other front desk person Rolf was very kind and accommodating. The restaurant is centrally located to everything I wanted to see and do. The restaurant in the hotel called the Governor was absolutely fantastic. My server was Jorine and she was so kind. She gave me the best dining experience so a big thank you to her.

When you combine a dream location (mere steps away from the Grote Kerk) with charm and service to spare, you have a true winner. One of my favorite places in all of Europe to stay.
