NH Carlton Hotel

Comment

Great location, great breakfast, rooms etc very clean if a little smaller than we expected. Would have been nice to have some leisure facilities but with all the walking to be done in amsterdam a gym is probably not needed.

Fantastic Thai restaurant around the corner - Thai Phutakun Great base for visiting all areas of Amsterdam - we went to Van Gogh museum, House of Bols, Amsterdam dungeon, Rembrandt Square, Dam Square etc

The hotel was very good and in a great location. I'm considering travelling for personal reason some time in the future however. We had a standard room which had loads of space, there was a desk area and a seating area in addition to the usual bed and wardrope. The bathroom was large with a full size bath with a shower over it, 2 sinks.

My 5th time to stay in this hotel - the location cannot be beaten and the staff are brilliant. The only downside this time was the room - it was the smallest I've stayed in at this hotel.

Brilliant Italian restaurant - Pizzerie Romana - we're still working our way through the menu! Walk by the flower markets, take the first left then right, it's about 100 metres or so on the right.

Very nice hotel, centrally based for all sight seeing and easy access to central station (about 15 min walk). Nice, friendly staff

The air conditioning wasn't cold enough.

a screaming nervous Italian brought us room service, didn't speak dutch, felt unsafe with him in the room.

don't pay too much, it's not a 4 star hotel, large company hotel with no soul

This was my 3rd time staying at this hotel and just as good as the other times. Location cannot be beaten and the staff are excellent.

I had confirmed reservations however upon arrival I found my reservations had been canceled. Desk clerk told me he didn't understand why but they were booked up and did not have a room for me. Jolly Carlton said they had made reservations and had given me an upgrade for me at another H hotel. When I arrived they said they had no rooms. I explained the situation and indicated JC hotel had talked to their clerk and everuything was all set for me when I arrived. Later the second hotle found a document that was sent to them the MORNING of my arrival and it showed JC hotel had cancelled my room and transferred me over that morning beofre I arrived and not the evening of my arrival. I was given single room resrevaed for someone else. Also a man ahead of me got a room with an up grade to as suite for 3 days and paid less than I did who had reservations. Clerks were friendly but not truthful or honest. I appears the hotel chain is more concerned about making money and filling rooms so they over book and it's a first come first serve basis regarless if one has confirmed reservations.

Don't bank on having a room even with confirmed reservations.
