We followed Rick Steves advice and stayed in Haarlem rather than Amsterdam (and I'm glad we did). This hotel is about half a mile from the train station, straight down the street on the big square with the cathedral, so great location. PROS: it has a lift; showers have hot water; towels, soap, & shampoo provided; great breakfast with croissants,... More

I stayed for one night over the Easter holiday. It cost me £32 and that included breakfast. I had a single room which was comfortable and clean with a small (but very clean) shower room. Perfectly acceptable. The room was no frills but had everything I needed including hair dryer TV and even tea and coffee which is unusual in... More

The room was very small but perfectly OK for one person and one night. Tiny bathroom, but very clean; only the shower was not very good: no flexible hose, 2 taps for hot and cold water. Nice breakfast.

The location of the hotel is simply great,just in the market square;but its design is so poor that sometimes you feel to be a young student travelling with a terrible low budget.Everything needs painting,restoring,changing ...but it is clean and affordable.

The Hotel is well situated but the hotel as such is in general of a rather poor quality and would already be outdated half a century ago. The paintwork is poor and the bathroom is very small and narrow.

We recently visited the hotel Amadeus. The room we were given was a twin room (no option for double) but the beds are right next to each other so its no issue. Location is fantastic easy walking distance from the train station. The bells from the nearby church ring throughout the night but not loud enough to bother you. I... More

found this hotel by reading Rick Steves Amsterdam book.Checked prices of other similarly located hotels and Amadeus was close to 1/2 the price ! It's a "mom & pop "hotel. with restaurant below the hotel.Excellent food. The hotel staff were very accommodating. I had to leave early on New Years day and Nadia the guest svc. lady came in early...

Hotel Amadeus is right on the square in Haarlem which made it perfect for our arrival during the Christmas market. Haarlem is a quiet respite from the bustle of Amsterdam and the hotel is too, for the most part. I say that because our room, cute as it was, was next to the lift. That aside, the service was friendly,... More

In my view it doesn't get any better than this in terms of location. I lived in Haarlem 13 years ago and was keen to go on a bit of a trip down memory lane. I would normally never book on the main square in any town, but this was deliberate and very enjoyable. I had a single room and... More
