Great hotel

This is a fabulous hotel from the friendly welcome at reception to the comfort of the room. Excellent snacks from the bar in the evening. Having a minibar was a bonus and worth the extra for the beautiful crystal glasses provided. Having a car pass for the garage was also a bonus. The beds are really comfortable with high quality bed linen.

We’ve stayed at The Carleton many times. It is convenient to Schiphol airport by car. Parking is available under ground. The location is ideal for accessing the pedestrian friendly main streets in Haarlem. Breakfast is plentiful, although I miss the raisin buns. However, the carpet needs changing, the rooms need a new coat of paint, lighting in the bedrooms is insufficient especially in the upcoming long winter days. Air conditioning is NON-existent unfortunately, despite advertising that claims it is available. A noisy fan does blow air, but it doesn’t cool the room at all! This is an on-going issue and should be addressed as the days, even in NL become hotter during the summer/late fall days. Opening a window isn’t always an option when it’s hot outside, wet outside and/or noisy outside. Sadly the hotel is looking tired. That said, we will return.

I had an unexpected overnight layover in AMS, and found this hotel online. Easy to get to by bus or by car service from the airport, next to a park in a quiet neighborhood, with a great breakfast. The only drawback is the lack of gym or fitness room, but a walk in the park is quite pleasant. museums and other restaurants nearby too.

Had a quaint, small town feel, with top notch amenities. Desk clerks did everything possible to help us: directions, bus route, etc. Room temp, mattress and pillow were just right! Highly recommend.

Stayed here a couple of times and would go again if in Haarlem.

2nd time staying here

Air conditioning was broken days before I booked - no notice of that. Checked in at 9pm and was only told about it AFTER I had checked in. It was too late to change to a different hotel. Didn’t sleep a wink on account of it being so hot in my room. Very deceitful.
