We were very happy with this hotel. I was perfect location, short walk to a lot of the popular areas. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the Standard rooms and it was a good size and very comfortable. The only problem we had was the first night our room was very very hot... more

Spent few nights there in September 2008 together with my wife. Nothing spectacular; basic hotel, clean but not very spacious standard rooms, standard amenities: minibar, nice bed (with a neat bonus: they had few pillow types to choose from with tiny samples in the room). Breakfast was pricey (20e) but comprehensive and it was set in a nice restaurant hall,... more

In September 2008 I was in Amsterdam on business. I had not been in Amsterdam for 30 years and so I elected to stay over the weekend to explore the city. The City was inundated with a very large conference and obtaining a hotel room was next to impossible. As a result, I was required to change hotels from the... more

We go to Amsterdam every year, and it's been difficult to find a good hotel at a reasonable price. Even so-called luxury hotels don't measure up to first class hotels in other cities. The Jolly Carlton was a very pleasant surprise. Check in and overall service was great. We were even offered a free room upgrade. The room was spacious,... more

Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May and couln't fault hotel. 25th wedding anniversaryso booked a deluxe room which had fantastic view over Muntplein. Did not eat at the hotel but there are plenty of cafes within 5 minutes walk for breakfast etc. Previous reviewers have mentioned the noise but despite overnight work on the road outside... more

I stayed here at the beginning of May with 9 friends. I thought the location of this hotel was excellent - close to all the main attractions and easy to walk everywhere from. It is situated right next to the flower market. My room was average sized, clean and did the job well, it had a small balcony with a... more

How exciting, a couple of days to check out Amsterdam and figure out what to do next time you are in town with more time. If you need a hotel, I STRONGLY urge you to look elsewhere. I am sitting here writing this at 8AM after my 3rd sleepless night. When I say, sleepless, I mean sleepless. Seems the neighborhood... more

The location of this hotel is excellent, we were able to walk everywhere. The rooms are indeed a little on the warm side, there is air con but it's not all that effective. These rooms could perhaps get way too warm heading further into Summer. If the black out curtains are kept shut during the day it helps keep the... more

Terrible stay at this hotel. We were put in a converted meeting / conference room. Not a very good conversion either. We were sleeping on a camper bed which was practically on the floor. It wasn't made for the room as there were no bedside tables either. Really uncomfortable and hard to get on and off the floor, as it... more
