We have just spent 4 nights at the hotel (our second visit) and wanted to say how much we appreciated the service given by the excellent, well trained and smart staff front of house (Reception, Restaurants, Bars and House-Keeping. The hotel is well located on the edge of Haarlem and on the bus route (300) from the airport to Haarlem Station. The hotel is spotlessly clean, although a cigarette packet was left in our room when we moved in. We choose not to have the room made up for a couple of days and received a rebate of 5 Euros. A negative aspect for us was the lighting in our room which is not very bright. The shower is brilliant, a really big cubicle.
The choice of breakfast items was amazing and very fresh. Just watch out people do not look where they are going when visiting the room. We ate in the hotel on two evenings - the portions are huge - Farmers Schnitzel is wonderful. Be aware when ordering fries and vegetables they come as two portions - we didn't realise and wasted a lot of food. The mustard soup is very different but loved it. Sadly the second night the steak was not well cooked and very tough. The waitress reported it to the head of the restaurant.
Overall it was a brilliant experience and we will be returning in April hopefully.
