This is a very good quality hotel and Haarlem is the perfect alternative to Amsterdam. 12/ The distinctive art nouveau designed exterior gives this hotel a very warm character and style. The restaurant is decorated a lot like a 'TGI Fridays' restaurant, with an American theme, stained glass windows, wooden floors and a large bar. The menu is very large and international and changes from time to time. There is also a conservatory style area which is lovely to sit in during the summer months. The lobby and public areas are well maintained and decorated and give the impression of understated luxury. The lobby itself is medium sized. 118 Single rooms Double rooms Twin rooms Triple rooms Non-smoking rooms The bedrooms are all large and some of the biggest in Holland.
