ONE OF THE WORST EVER EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Feb 2023
The worst experience ever. From minute one before even entering the hotel. We arrived me and my family late at 9:00 pm, tired and the weather is cold. There is a barrier that does not allow you to enter the hotel front and the parking. The barrier did not open, I called, and a lady spoke to me and told me that the parking is fully booked while it was obviously more than half empty. She advised to park outside the hotel and walk to the hotel. I asked her to allow us to drop my family and the bags off. She HUNG UP ON ME. WHAT A DISGRACEFUL PERSON. I left my car and entered the hotel and she straight away before I spoke to her that she did not hung up on me. There were 2 ladies, it was the white lady. I asked her for her manager she refused and told me we can talk. i told her that I am not talking to her, however, she refused to allow us to drip the bags. I pulled our bags from the car and dropped my family off. She acted as if there is nothing happened.

A respectful Hotel would assist their customer when they have good special circumstances. I did not ask for parking, I asked to drop my family near as it was cold. However, she was rude and hung up on me. her excuse that the line closed by itself after a certain time. When I asked why she did not switch the line on again, she was stuck and could not reply.

This sort of person needs a lot to learn to work in hospitality. Disgraceful person. I am a gold member with Accor Hotels. This experience will make me think again if I will continue with this chain.

Basic hotel with good beds & shower, however, no coffee/tea facilities in the room.
In the event that you need to pay the rack rate (instead of an offer) it's not really value for money. Breakfast is ok but certainly nothing special

The hotel has a bar / breakfast area, but there is room for improvement. No call for last round and the remark: sorry, you're 2 minutes to late, we close at 12, it's 2 past 12 now.

Terrible place. People partying till deep in the night 4AM and later. No staff on site, went down to the lobby to look for a solution but no phone number of anything. They where smoking in the hallways.
Staff was friendly on checkin, but it was the most terrible stay we ever had.

Stayed here from January to March working locally through the pandemic of the covi virus
The hotel is situated on a busy junction near to a railway line but the noise is minimal due to the double glazed windows there are a few shops within a 10 minute walk selling ever day products the hotel is clean and the staff friendly all in all a pleasant stay and the location good they do charge €7 euro a day for parking though and parking near by is minimal 👍

My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel. There is NO air conditioning in the rooms; with outside 36.0’C we had 29.7’C in the room. Windows can open just a few cm, so eventually my husband slept in the car with AC on (EV, so no emissions). I asked for a fan, but without success to receive one. During the next day, it came out that, unfortunately, we have to spend one more night in Haarlem and, despite all, our decision was to stay in the same hotel. The receptionist was very rude and insisted that we have to drive back to the hotel and pay for the extra night. Payment while check out was NOT possible! So, after that I just went there, told the administrators what I think about this hotel, picked up the luggage and run away immediately.
Moreover, the personnel is NOT wearing masks indoor incl. the waitresses during breakfast. No physical distancing either.
My recommendation -> DO NOT waste your time and money there.
