Ambassador City Centre Hotel

The hotel is really centric. Staff members are great and I received a very warm welcome. The rooms offer basic amenities and the beds are comfortable. However, the room itself is a bit dated, and the bathroom didn’t have an independent bathtub or shower tray with curtains, so the entire floor became wet after showering. The rooms were also not soundproof, so there was a lot of noise from the city and the adjacent rooms. Overall, it’s a basic hotel suitable for a simple and quick stay.

The hotel is located in Grote Markt at the back of the church. It's the perfect location to pick if you want to tour around Haarlem and if you have an event at Phil. I stayed with my parents in a very huge room with four beds. There was also a table with cups and tea/coffee options. You could also enjoy a dinner in the comfort of your room. The breakfast is really yummy with both sweet and savory options.

My wife and I had a lovely 8 night stay at The Ambassador City Centre Hotel, Haarlem late September 2025. The ensuite room was a very good size and we had a lovely view of St.Bavo's and the lovely Dutch rooftops. Everywhere in Haarlem was walkable from the hotel and the hotel room was nice and quiet even though the hotel is so central. It was very reasonably priced and the 24 hour hotel reception staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating. No negatives at all. Definitely worth 5 stars!!

Fantastic location. Close to everything but far from obnoxious tourists. The beds are wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Also, the church bells aren't an issue and once the restaurants close its very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others, as well. Very pleasant experience.

This hotel has a great location in Haarlem. It includes a restaurant, where we ate breakfast twice, both very good. ||The rooms were clean, though there were stains on the rugs. Our room was on the top floor with sloping ceilings and roof beams just above the bed, making it a little hard to get in and out.||The staff were friendly and helpful.

location is excellent, staff are very kindly and helpful. The hotel basically is all good. Just one comments on the shower room, if the show head may maintenance better will be perfect. Shower area do not have door, it is a little inconvenience to make water go out from the shower room to the toilet. All the rest is good!

What a disappointment in the room and bathroom!! The photos on the hotel’s website are very deceiving. The floor was sagging in many places in our room, the carpet disgusting because of big stains. I let the front desk and other staff know about the sagging floors and carpet. Nothing was done, they didn’t offer another room. Maybe because they have sagging floors as well? The bathroom didn’t even look close to the photos on the hotel’s website. I’m attaching photos as proof. For close to $200/ night, it was a rip off. On the positive side: location is great, staff was nice and breakfast was very good.

We love The Abassador City Center Hotel. Arriving via taxi from the airport was a challenge since the location of the hotel meant that the taxi could not take us to the door. Both the front desk and house keeping were helpful. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge but we managed. The location is extremely central and St. Bavo church provided a good navigation point.

This hotel is walking distance from several of the popular attractions, shops, and restaurants. The hotel staff are friendly, the lobby is nice looking, the room is spacious, and they have snacks available for sale at the front desk if you get hungry in the middle of the night. It's also a reasonable price. The only thing that's not worth the money is the optional breakfast. You're better off eating somewhere nearby. The desk in my room was also wobbly. Other than that, I had a great stay.

This is a very pleasant four star, I think, hotel in the heart of old Haarlem. It is right next to the Great Church (my translation of Grote Kerk). It is a fair distance to drag a suitcase or two from the train station but about three blocks from the 300 bus from Schiphol airport. The room was small but comfortable, and the breakfast was expensive but extensive. The best thing was the location in such a beautiful little city.
