I stayed at the Jolly Carlton christmas/new years 2007 and thought it was great. Everyone was very helpful and polite, the room was a little small, but served the purpose. I had a beautiful view of the street and nicolas church, and eventhough the hotel is right in the party/clubbing district i had no problems with noise or disturbance. great... more

We stayed here on the nights of November 9th and 10th 2008. We were VERY sad to have left the excellent 5 star we had just stayed in (reveiew here) yet as this hotel had been pre-payed we were obliged. We upgraded to a very large delux room out of necessity as soon as we saw how tired, small and... more

We were very happy with this hotel. I was perfect location, short walk to a lot of the popular areas. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the Standard rooms and it was a good size and very comfortable. The only problem we had was the first night our room was very very hot... more

Spent few nights there in September 2008 together with my wife. Nothing spectacular; basic hotel, clean but not very spacious standard rooms, standard amenities: minibar, nice bed (with a neat bonus: they had few pillow types to choose from with tiny samples in the room). Breakfast was pricey (20e) but comprehensive and it was set in a nice restaurant hall,... more

In September 2008 I was in Amsterdam on business. I had not been in Amsterdam for 30 years and so I elected to stay over the weekend to explore the city. The City was inundated with a very large conference and obtaining a hotel room was next to impossible. As a result, I was required to change hotels from the... more

We go to Amsterdam every year, and it's been difficult to find a good hotel at a reasonable price. Even so-called luxury hotels don't measure up to first class hotels in other cities. The Jolly Carlton was a very pleasant surprise. Check in and overall service was great. We were even offered a free room upgrade. The room was spacious,... more

Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May and couln't fault hotel. 25th wedding anniversaryso booked a deluxe room which had fantastic view over Muntplein. Did not eat at the hotel but there are plenty of cafes within 5 minutes walk for breakfast etc. Previous reviewers have mentioned the noise but despite overnight work on the road outside... more

I stayed here at the beginning of May with 9 friends. I thought the location of this hotel was excellent - close to all the main attractions and easy to walk everywhere from. It is situated right next to the flower market. My room was average sized, clean and did the job well, it had a small balcony with a... more

How exciting, a couple of days to check out Amsterdam and figure out what to do next time you are in town with more time. If you need a hotel, I STRONGLY urge you to look elsewhere. I am sitting here writing this at 8AM after my 3rd sleepless night. When I say, sleepless, I mean sleepless. Seems the neighborhood... more
