I stayed here for a few nights recently when on business in the area.
The first thing I will say is that this is not a cheap place to stay, while the room prices are pretty comparable with UK prices (in most cases cheaper than UK) it is quite expensive by Dutch standards. However the quality cannot be denied.
The rooms were large, comfortable, well equipped and well looked after, the mini-bar was also well stocked. Service was good and staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very, very good both in choice and quality while the free use of an internet suite is a great addition for any business traveller.
Should you be a fan of whisky the bar specialises in the drink and had a great choice from all parts of the UK and further afield, though the choice of beers was somewhat limited and prices were very high for what was there.
Also within 2 minutes walk of the main shopping areas and 15 minutes walk from Haarlem train station.
Overall a great place to stay on a business trip, though for a personal stay I would try to find somewhere cheaper.

That would be difficult, other than breakfast which I already metioned ("Breakfast was very, very good both in choice and quality") I did not eat at the hotel. Also the prices I'm not entirely sure but the bill came to around 300 euros for three nights plus breakfast and a small bar bill.

Hi sorry for the lower rate, maybe you could add something about teh prices, what is the food like (if they have any) etc. As a consumer, this wouldn't really give me much idea about teh hotel. If you do edit this review, then get back to me, and I'll re-read/rate it for you. Larry
