We’ve stayed at The Carleton many times. It is convenient to Schiphol airport by car. Parking is available under ground. The location is ideal for accessing the pedestrian friendly main streets in Haarlem. Breakfast is plentiful, although I miss the raisin buns. However, the carpet needs changing, the rooms need a new coat of paint, lighting in the bedrooms is insufficient especially in the upcoming long winter days. Air conditioning is NON-existent unfortunately, despite advertising that claims it is available. A noisy fan does blow air, but it doesn’t cool the room at all! This is an on-going issue and should be addressed as the days, even in NL become hotter during the summer/late fall days. Opening a window isn’t always an option when it’s hot outside, wet outside and/or noisy outside. Sadly the hotel is looking tired. That said, we will return.
