Reviews for NH Carlton Amsterdam

Review 1：Teas and coffees weren t replenished in the room on the second or third day ( an oversight ? ) and there were no milks provided - not a major problem as there was an M and S a stones throw away and we bought some milk and kept in the fridge- but asked on the first occasion for more tea and coffee and it didnt materialise .

Review 2：Location couldnt have been better - right next to flower market and easy walk to Dam square .Staff on reception helpful and pleasant from the moment we arrived to when we left .We were upgraded to a room with a balcony as there were no rooms with doubles left when we arrived .

Review 3：Shower had the knob missing so didn't work. Had to tell hotel staff but they resolved very quickly sending engineer while we were out. Fixed and all ok without moving room. Just felt a bit dated needs a revamp.

Review 4：Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room had a lovely balcony with view of front. Was nice that all staff knew it was our anniversary, nice bottle of bubbly waiting for us. Really recommend this hotel for the location, yea it's a bit dated , but u won't regret the ease of getting around and finding local restaurants, bars and cofeeshops ;)

Review 5：Very tired rooms. Need some serious refurbishment. The carpet was so stained I didn't like to walk on it without shoes

Review 6：Location very good and reception staff helpful albeit a little slow.

Review 7：Room was cold, AC was not working properly. They had to give us spare radiators. I have been staying at this hotel for few years whenever I am in Amsterdam. I belive it is getting older each year and need renovation.

Review 8：Location is fantastic

Review 9：No bar lounge area. Little corner in lobby not the same. Rooms could do with attention .. brown stains on ,??white net curtains :-( long black hair on the wall tile in shower bath. Im blonde ... room on ,6th floor. 17.50 each for breakfast. Madness .we didn eat there.

Review 10：The location is fab. 5mins from dam square 10 mins from central train station. Walk. Across the rd great pub rembrant sq on the next street 2 min walk.

Review 11：Checked in to an occupied room, long waiting at check in and out ( no staff ) . Breakfast was a shambles. For the first time ever I was happy to leave a hotel!

Review 12：Housekeeping was not great. My daughters room was not serviced at all one day and small things - like a pillowcase was just left lying in the basin in my room the one day. Attention to detail in cleaning could have been better. Nothing serious though !! thought 50 Euro deposit per room for mini bar was also a bit steep - especially when they had my credit card details as security anyway. Breakfast very expensive. We chose to eat elsewhere.

Review 13：Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location could not have been better.

Review 14：The hotel is worn down. The halls give a small-town Holiday Inn type of feeling, like there just isn't enough business to maintain and renovate. The bathroom is small and old, so that you never really can get it clean anymore. Security is lax. Anyone who gets into the lobby can go up the elevator to whatever floor they want. The price/performance of this hotel is quite poor. I paid €200+ for a hotel that should never cost more than €100.

Review 15：Strangely, in this rather dilapidated, worn-down hotel, they get some of the most important things right, like the bed, the linens, the TV. Even the room service is quite OK, if somewhat limited. The staff is also competent. The location cannot be beat, if you are interested in touristing in A'dam.

Review 16：Tiny rooms that are dingy, look like they haven't seen any updates in years. Bed was hard and very uncomfortable. Especially for the price I paid!

Review 17：Great location

Review 18：Tired furnishings, rooms and bathrooms need updating. Room very small for price paid and staff not overly friendly on arrival

Review 19：Location & Balcony (view was great)

Review 20：No atmosphere in hotel. They need a proper bar area to relax in instead of it being in reception.

Review 21：Location was excellent. Room was great we had a good view over Amsterdam from the sixth floor and the bed was so comfy.

Review 22：The carpets are very old. Our bathroom sink was plugged up. It wasn't fixed until I called a second time (2 days after the first time I informed the staff).

Review 23：The staff are excellent and extremely friendly. Location is excellent of course. Less than a 5 min walk to Rembrandt square.

Review 24：The hotel is VERY tired and scruffy and in desperate need of a makeover. The carpet in the room was revolting, stained to the point we nearly asked to move rooms (as was New Year we knew there was no point). The curtains were the same. They need replacing with new as does the carpet. The bathroom was also just grubby. the room was freezing and we had to request additional blankets We will not be staying again.

Review 25：The location is excellent. Very central.

Review 26：- Rooms are very outdated - Smell of weed on the 5th floor - Small minibar and some candy was already opened!

Review 27：- The location is great! - Staff is friendly

Review 28：Rooms with view are not what you expect. Be careful in stating what kind of view youd like to have (main street and canal views are the best).

Review 29：Location. Cleanliness. Food.

Review 30：Room wasnt ready in time. This is my 2nd time in the hotel and I am always given a wrong room type and then i get moved the next day to another room.

Review 31：Location and breakfast.

Review 32：It was a bait and switch. The pictures online show a superior room but they do not tell you that. I expected a much higher quality than what I got. It was a closet sized room with filthy carpets and broken outlet covers an an airplane sized bathroom. Nothing nice like the pictures!

Review 33：Not sure if I liked anything about this hotel.

Review 34：The room wasn't cleaned and we had to ask for cleaning in the evening, when we asked to stay for few more hours the stuff didn't find any room for us.

Review 35：The location is great, in the middle of the city , very easy to navigate

Review 36：Lights in the room kept flickering and I told the staff on 3 seperate occasions and they did nothing about it.

Review 37：Excellent location, staff and general cleanliness.

Review 38：The staff on reception were indifferent and although not rude were not interested or helpful when asked questions. Hotel is in desperate need of updating. Our rooms carpet was covered in stains and the bathroom was a disgrace, mould on tiles,rust on towel rail and dripping taps. Would not recommend this hotel.

Review 39：The location was excellent. Breakfast was very good with wide selection of food. The staff in the breakfast room were very good.

Review 40：The rooms are small, old and not designed well, bathtub is small, carpets are very old and moldy. Prior to our departure from the hotel, I've requested the staff to call us a cab, since we were supposed to leave at 02:20AM to a train leaving at 02:45 from the central station. before going to sleep, I've verified that the cab will be on time and gone to sleep. At 02:10 We came to checkout, we've waited until 02:30 and the cab didn't arrive. Since we had only 15 minutes left to get to the station we got outside and luckily got one from the street. Would never have guessed this is the level of a 4 star hotel, 3 or maybe even 2 would suite it better.

Review 41：The location

Review 42：The rooms are a bit small and should be renovated. There should be more Staff, waiting too long to get answer.

Review 43：The Location is the Best in Amsterdam. Staff is very helpfull.

Review 44：A deposit of 50€ and a city tax fee had to be paid at check in which we weren't aware of

Review 45：The location of this hotel was great. It was close to restaurants and tram stops to get around ! The Dam square is a few minutes walk and is beautiful

Review 46：When checked in, advised staff of stain on chair, and a double doona in king bed. Asked to be fixed, asked repeatedly and was not rectified after 3 follow up requests. See picture for undersized doona :(

Review 47：Great location.

Review 48：Nothing! It was all good! Can't believe some of the reviews Iv seen, this place is awesome.

Review 49：Staff here were incredibly helpful throughout, very happy, and made our stay the best it could be with their help and advice.

Review 50：We booked 7 rooms aand when we arrived we were told that we only booked 5. We definitely booked 7 rooms and I had the documentation to prove it. After a long wait at reception they eventually found us the other two rooms and agreed to give us a discount. We paid the total amount agrred on arrival but I discovered afterwe left that they charged me extra monet as they said we didnot pay the full amount. I phoned and complained. The managr was to return my call but never did. I would not recommend this hotel.

Review 51：The room did not look like what I had gone for on the picture or booking.com I did expect it to be nicer for a 4star hotel but was a pleasant stay!

Review 52：Loved how friendly and welcoming the staff were. Very helpful! The male trainee that was working was lovely and helped us out! Also the lady that served us as well was very helpful!

Review 53：Check out too long picture of the room in web site not real ! Staff not really welcoming Jacuzzi bath doesn't available like noted in the description !

Review 54：the location the bed

Review 55：The staff for breakfast were dreadful, I barely had poured my cup of coffee when one of the waitresses demanded payment, I felt so uncomfortable I left the dining room, I was made to feel like I was stealing the coffee!!!!! The bedroom carpet was grubby and the bathroom floor could do with a wash.

Review 56：Great location, some of the staff were lovely, very helpful.

Review 57：There wasn't a good Christmas Market in any square quite disappointed about that.

Review 58：The location is really good it's close to the main squares Rembrandt and Dam with great shops everywhere. Have breakfast at B&B breakfast and lunch bar it's lovely.

Review 59：Clean and comfortable room with beautiful view. Location was perfect and everything was within walking distance , we would definately stay again. Staff were friendly and they Also had the best hot chocolate available in the cafe attached.

Review 60：We were charged 50 euro on check in that we were not expecting and also because I was paying with a non Dutch Card, I was charged the full amount on check in. I noticed that several guests had charges that they were not expecting and appeared to have trouble getting satisfaction from the reception staff The air conditioning in the room did not work and the furniture in the rooms was a bit dated and worn

Review 61：The location was very good, with transport and bars and restaurants on the door step

Review 62：I didn't like it design, old and scrappy, unfortunately for some reason highest floor didn't smell very nice.

Review 63：Location was perfect, beautiful city view from private balcony from our hotel room, quite, clean, not too modern but still nice. I would definitely come back to that hotel.

Review 64：The room we were first allocated that smelt of stale smoke..

Review 65：The deluxe room we were moved to... The receptionist wasted no time moving us to a fresh room..

Review 66：None, overall great service - the building is old but well refurbished to provide comfort to customers.

Review 67：Location is perfect - close to best attractions in Amsterdam. Friendly staff, old facilities but comfortable in general. Price convenient. Breakfast was really good!

Review 68：I didn't like that some off the staff were not very helpful or friendly. two single beds pushed together and 2 single duvets for that should of been a double bed room. I thought it was very expensive and when booking it didn't state that there would be an extra city charge as the room was 400 for a weekend stay on top of that was an extra 27 euro city charge ?

Review 69：I really thought it was clean. Its located within walking distance to everything. Some staff really nice

Review 70：Hotel is 4 star but not deserved those stars. Standart room was really dirty and old furniture. Heater was not working. It was waste of money. Hotel looks good from outside but room was really bad

Review 71：The only good think is location

Review 72：Same as above

Review 73：Hotel very poor condition, the bar in the bath to hold on to was falling of the wall very dangerous, very smelly hotel, Rooms very poor not a 4 star hotel when I book in it on line it had wooden floors old carpet when I got to hotel I was very disappointed with the hotel

Review 74：bathroom was not very clean, sink in the bathroom was fissured carpted floor was not nice

Review 75：location very good staff very nice and cooperative wifi in the room TV 46 inch window in the room and city view

Review 76：worn out and dirty carpets in room, air con fan making lots of noise and being the only means of heating the room, poor breakfast for 20 euros

Review 77：Excellent location, nice and hospitable staff

Review 78：As a 4* hotel, which I have been to many years ago, it was a little disappointing now. Over priced for smallish room. Sadly due to building work outside, the noise was awful at night/ early morning. With it being my daughter's birthday, there was nothing special for this despite hotel being told; no room with a view as asked for :( Service on reception very slow...

Review 79：The location of this hotel was excellent, everything within a short walk. Lots of choice for restaurants, bars and shopping. Fantastic choice all around to visit, in any direction, and safe to walk around; even quite late into the evening!! Breakfast choice varied and beautifully displayed. Cleaning staff worked hard, friendly and helpful :)

Review 80：Room was narrow and old Carpet in the room was not clean back of hotel view was not nice Sink of bathroom have long fissure Daily cleaning of the room was not good

Review 81：location of the hotel Staff were very nice and cooperative 46 inch flat screen TV with many channels

Review 82：Room was not cleaned properly, mini bar was not stocked up after arrival, had several cracks in marble door step and light fitting on bed was loose and also hand rail in bathroom for shower. Room looked presentable but was far from it. Staff at front desk tried to demand extra deposit when balance was payed in full. Over all very unsatisfactory for a 4* hotel. Will not be returning.

Review 83：For price and star rating I feel the room could be better, I've stayed in nicer rooms for less money. I found a long black hair in my bath,I have short blonde hair. My view from my window was a wall of the building.

Review 84：Reception staff were nice.

Review 85：Room was dirty and not what i expected from looking at the pictures. There was rust leaking from a towel radiator into the bath

Review 86：Close to dam square and close to shops , restaurants

Review 87：the breakfast was very cheep

Review 88：i like the staff were very helpful specially Amal she gave me my gold number and showed me the best way to book the room I require

Review 89：The room service menu is terrible and limited. Took 2 days to get our room service breakfast because no one bothered to pick up the order that they told us to hang on our door. Bar fridge was never restocked after use

Review 90：bathroom very old and tired, carpet old and stained, breakfast depressing and poor quality, whole hotel dark and tired looking. breakfast room like a motorway service station staff ok

Review 91：good pillows

Review 92：I was overcharged for room service, signed two duplicate bills and the room price is high for the available facilities relative to world wide hotels in other countries.

Review 93：I liked the location, the shuttle bus to and from Airport and Comfort.

Review 94：I booked a superior room, and this was the worst hotel room I have everstayed in, and I travel quite a bit. Room was very dirty - carpets,curtains, bathrooms. Bathrooms has bugs/centipedes crawling. Aftercomplaining, I was moved to a newer room but it wasn't great either.This hotel should close before any new bookings are allowed. Especiallyfor $400 Canadian per night...not even worth $100.

Review 95：The location was ok. But not amazing. Staff was mostly accommodatingbased off the requests made.

Review 96：The hotel was close to all amnesties which was very helpful. It was presented extremely well and was clean. Would definitely stay again and recommend a visit!

Review 97：Bathroom wasnt spotless couldve been cleaner but piping hot water

Review 98：Special birthday for my fiance they sent champagne free of charge to the room before checking out. Very friendly staff

Review 99：Our first room's bathroom had a very strong smell of urine as soon as we walked in the room which never went away. After we advised reception they had housekeeping clean it again but had to change room as it was no better.

Review 100：Fantastic location close to the cinema, bars, restaurants and walking distance to all the tourist attractions. Overall a really good hotel

Review 101：Rooms were very dark and the hotel should put in stronger bulbs Rooms were quite tired Behind the bedside table there was a huge amount of dust

Review 102：Check in very fast Big Rooms Good shower

Review 103：Ironing room was pathetic and unfortunately all irons were lent out when I asked, bathroom very dated and small

Review 104：Spacious rooms, great breakfast, perfect location

Review 105：The first room had no working lights in the bathroom, the alternative room had huge cracks in the walls and again, intermittent lights. The room was tired, old and grubby, to the point my husband checked out after a few hours before I arrived as it was "disgusting". He was charged for the pleasure..

Review 106：Room very small..very expensive for double room €555 for 2nts no breakfast included.. Back in dublin same hotel is €89 per night for double room. Bar in hotel closes at 10pm??

Review 107：Room was clean staff friendly

Review 108：staff weren't friendly and cleaners very noisy in the morning. carpet dirty and bathroom wasn't the cleanest. 2 single beds pushed together is not what I expected for the money I paid, view was terrible out the window

Review 109：location was good

Review 110：Perfect location, very friendly and professional staff at reception desk. good service - the only staff we met. as we did't paid for any breakfast.

Review 111：My only bad experience was that my room had a mini fridge with drinks which I thought was complementary for us staying at the hotel, not knowing we will be charged for every drink we drank, I found that a little bit strange

Review 112：The staff they were very helpful and friendly,

Review 113：The tram tracks were being taken up under our window during the night. Without discovering what the breakfast was like we would have to book breakfast for the three mornings to get the reduced breakfast rate.

Review 114：booked a room with balcony and view. the view was to the street and the room was extremely noisy due to construction work outside. the front desk dismissed us & offered us ear plugs. shower curtain had stains on it. the stuff can be nicer.

Review 115：location is great. the bed was very big.

Review 116：Worst hotel room i have ever seen. I told them it looked nothing like the photos in booking.com. Answer was that i booked standard room, not executive! Very dirty, disgusted by the bathroom. The curtains in the room were riped. :(

Review 117：Location, location, location.

Review 118：N/A

Review 119：Exceptional service, they even went out of their way to allow us to store our luggage after we checked out. The breakfast was good and the staff was friendly! The rooms were clean and quite spacious.

Review 120：In big need of renovation. Nothing done since the 80-th's. Dirty carpet in the hole hotel. Choose a cheaper hotel! It's easy to come into town with buses and trains even if you're hotel is outside town.

Review 121：Nice breakfast

Review 122：While we were in the room in the day it had lovely big windows but at night when it was dark there were no lights it was very dark.

Review 123：The room and bed were lovely. Location good.

Review 124：We had requested an early check in and never learned if this was possible! Hotel was understaffed when we checked in on Sunday. There were long lines on the lobby and only two receptionists. The lines were still there four hours later!

Review 125：Quiet room with balcony that provided a great view of the area. Hotel was a quick tram ride from everyplace we wanted to visit, and it was surrounded by small restaurants, so eating out was not a problem.

Review 126：The facility is in bad shape. Torn curtains, holes in the carpet, tiny room, black water stain on the shower and stained tub, cracked toilet seat. The worst part was the poor and unreliable internet connection. Pretty bad for a four star hotel

Review 127：The location is excellent

Review 128：On arrival we reported a light bulb that didn't work . They only sent someone on the morning we left. That was a bit annoying.

Review 129：Overall ok as we didn't pay full rate.

Review 130：Room greatly overdue for renovation. Pictures o web-site are misleading, particularly with regard to the bathroom

Review 131：Nothing apart from the location and even this was spoilt by construction work on tram track soutsdie the hotel that continued throughout the night.

Review 132：- No power outlet next to the bed - Noisy fridge. (which kept waking me up) - Room looks rather run down. - Starting to look rather dated. - Lifts are not secured with keycard (minimal security but still that is still better than nothing) - Shower/bath awkward to use - additional city tax - deposit on arrival - checkin form / process

Review 133：- Wifi in the room. - Room is quite - Bed was comfortable (big enough and not too firm)

Review 134：I was a one person traveler asked for double bed got two singles pushed together. For the amount of money I paid out, this was probably the most expensive and yet the room in comparison to others was below average

Review 135：Super close to everything

Review 136：The hotel was beautiful, staff helpful and friendly, but the carpet in the room was stained and shower needed to be re-caulked. Other than that, the room itself was clean and overall nice.

Review 137：The location of the hotel was the best. It was only half a mile walk from the central station, and close enough to the Red Light District to where you didn't have to be in the middle of it once you had had enough.

Review 138：Our door keys continuously did not work and we had to go up and down from the 5th floor to get new keys (room 540).

Review 139：Staff were great, particularly Kraas. Room was comfortable and very quiet.

Review 140：I really like the staff and the location. Very friendly staff in the lobby and the location is perfect. It is in the Middle between all the locations
