I have got a letter from Steven, a traveler from Spain, who shared his impressions about Jolly Hotel Carlton Amsterdam. Here it is.“I love the Netherlands and we have a lot of friends there, that’s why we often travel there, at least once or twice a year. Even though we know Amsterdam quite well, it has been difficult to find an appropriate top-end Amsterdam hotel at a reasonable price. We have stayed in numerous so-called top-end Amsterdam hotels and found out that some of them don’t measure up to first class European hotels. Jolly Hotel Carlton in the heart of the city of Amsterdam was a pleasant exception and I think we have found our best deluxe Amsterdam hotel at last.

We booked a deluxe room on the 5th floor which had a nice view over Muntplein. Our room in Jolly Hotel Carlton Amsterdam was on the warm side of the hotel, but there was an air conditioner which worked very well and was very effective, so we could easily escape from the outside heat. Our room was of average size. It was clean and well equipped with bath, toilet, mini-bar, safe deposit box, pay-TV, TV, telephone, wireless Internet connection, radio, coffee and tea making facilities, hair dryer, alarm-clock, trouser press, working desk. Bathroom was very nice and the shower was the best I’ve ever found in Amsterdam hotel. Unfortunately, it was a little noisy at night but it wasn’t a real problem for us as we are not light sleepers.

Breakfast was not included, so we decided to eat outside as there a lot of cosy places to eat near Jolly Hotel Carlton Amsterdam. That’s why we can’t comment on the food served in the hotel.

The location of Jolly Hotel Carlton is ideally located for exploring Amsterdam. It is close to famous flower market, Dam square, the Vondelpark and the Museumplein.

We liked Jolly Hotel Carlton in Amsterdam and highly recommend it.”
