Our experience at the Hotel Amadeus was mixed. Our room was clean and reasonably quiet. The bathroom, although quite small, was adequate. The free breakfast buffet was good and included cereal, basic meats and cheeses, and a variety of rolls. However, it was difficult to get more than one cup of coffee or tea. After reading positive reviews of the... more

Haarlem is a beautiful small city close to Amsterdam. The compact city centre is best explored on foot, and it's also a great base from which to explore other parts of Noord-Holland. The NS railway station is a 10 minute walk to the north, and the location is unparalleled: right on the south side of Grote Markt, with a great... more

My wife and I spent five nights at the Amadeus Hotel in Haarlem, the Netherlands. We based our choice on price, and on the write ups for it in various guide books and websites. These sources said the Amadeus provided good basic accommodations in a charming location -- on the Grote Markt square in the heart of old Haarlem. We... more

My friend and I stayed at the Amadeus for three days in October. It was not at all fancy, but clean and comfortable. The location is outstanding!!!! The breakfast room is cheerful and overlooks the square. I do recommend getting a room in the back as the noise from the square can be a bother. We had a wonderful visit. more

We recently stayed at Hotel Amadeus in Haarlem. It was disappointing. The front of the hotel is attractive and the location is fantastic (right on the square). However, the room we had (I believe it was 41) was at the top of the hotel, with a window looking out on the square through the giant Heineken sign. The room was... more

Due to unavailability of rooms in Amsterdam (due to a large convention in Amsterdam) - I found the Hotel Amadeus in Haarlem through Booking.com. The hotel is right on the central square - a 10-minute walk from the train station or a cab ride of 3 minutes. Haarlem is a small city about 20 minutes by train from AMS Central... more

Two stars?! It has unexpected amenities like: pigeon wake-up service at your window; the short beds make you feel taller; the sagging curtains sharpen your fix-it skills if you use them; the pink walls settle your stomach like pepto-bismo; the dim lighting make it so romantic(especially when you try to read); the raised bathroom floor insures you'll discover your toes;... more

The hotel is situated in an AMAZING location - right on the main square. However, just know this comes with the negatives . . . we stayed here for 2 nights and on one of the mornings, we woke up to people setting up the market down below which was quite loud. Our room was facing the market so I'm... more

While the hotel is in a good location, I was shocked when I entered my cramped, dark room. The mattresses were thin, the pillows thinner; there'd been no attempt to offer any sort of atmosphere or decoration. A depressing, miserable place. No wonder the proprietor wanted the guests to pay as soon as they registered! To be fair, the breakfast... more
