Hotel Lion d'Or

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel within walking distance of everything! Near the train station, which is helpful. Our only issue was with the air conditioning. No one told us that it is necessary to push a power button each time upon entering the room. We just assumed our room was hot because the building was old, so we were pretty uncomfortable. We didn't discover until we were leaving what the issue was with our a.c. It would have been a perfect stay had we been told the trick with the a.c. Excellent breakfast available.

Everything was excellent for our 3-night stay. From the moment we arrived, to the very end, everything there was wonderful. Our rooms were clean, the staff pleasant, and breakfast was fantastic. The best is the location of the hotel. It’s right near the Haarlem Central Station, and bus station. This made travel very easy, and also next door is bike rental for exploring the town and surrounding area easy. It’s a hidden gem!! We will definitely stay here again in the future.

The location was great. The staff was great. Nice breakfast. It was helpful to be able to park a car.

It was like 2 minute walk from the train station. The room was clean and the layout was convenient. We like the breakfast too.

Staff was very helpful. Bed good. Amenities good. Breakfast excellent.

Great place , very good location.

Overall a good hotel in a good location, but the cleaning could do with a bit more work – there were cobwebs and dust in my room. My room was very compact

Very nice room just steps from the Haarlem train station. Very convenient for getting into Amsterdam and for exploring Haarlem itself.

Lovely boutique hotel. Gracious staff that went above and beyond to make our stay (grandparents with six grandchildren) perfectly wonderful. Front desk was always helpful; housekeeping staff performed magic on our rooms. Location is fantastic: one minute from the train station and in the heart of charming Haarlem. We loved being at Hotel Lion D'Or!

Lovely hotel in s great location.

We loved this hotel - from the gorgeous, moody decor, to the delicious breakfasts, to the friendly and helpful staff. We traveled with our two young kids and were treated kindly by everyone despite the noise they sometimes made. We were sad to leave and would love to stay here again!

It was excellent except for cooling and heating the rooms.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lion d'Or. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were great!

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was kind and courteous. Breakfast buffet was excellent. A big plus was how close the property is to the train station.

The property is fantastic

The hotel is very close to the train/bus station as well as restaurants and a short walk to the center. My room had been recently renovated and was nicely furnished. The heat had been turned off but they gladly turned it back on for my floor.

The room we had was very clean, the beds were comfortable, but the ceilings in the room were very low (the room was under the eaves). While my family is of short stature, we were able to stay here, but this room would not have functioned well for a tall person. Also, the entrance to the room was through the closet--very strange layout. Other than that, staff was friendly, it had an elevator and was in a very convenient location near the Haarlem train station, but also near to the Haarlem tourist area---overall a good location if you are traveling by train.

We loved staying here instead of staying in Amsterdam for our trip to the Netherlands. This location is incredible to enjoy Haarlem and to transit into Amsterdam, Zaandam, and Zaanse Schans as the train/bus station is right across from the hotel. There is also bike rental next door which we rented bikes to bike out to the tulips fields (Tulip Experience) and Zaanvoort. Overall, our room was great, bed was comfortable, front desk was helpful. Would highly recommend staying here!

Hotel exterior is covered in scaffolding and sheets. No view from windows at all and anyway we had to keep curtains closed because of the workers. Some noise from the construction from 8:30am onwards. The curtains didn’t fit, so not much use if you need complete darkness to sleep well. The rooms are soundproofed, but the doors are not. When a neighbouring room door was closed the noise woke me up as I thought someone had entered my room. There was no wardrobe, just some hangers in the corner. Good points: Very nice staff, helpful and cheerful. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Great city centre location.

The proximity to the train was what sold us on this hotel. Just steps away, I worried it would be loud and/or not feel quite safe but I was wrong. Not a worry at all. The staff was wonderful to us, stored our luggage and prepared our room a little early, knowing that we had flown in from the states on an overnight flight. They didn't have to do that but they did with a smile and it was very much appreciated. The only reason I didn't give the hotel a perfect score is because they were renovating, so the entire hotel was covered in a white sheet and the scaffolding (and therefore the workers) were right outside our window, so we had to keep the drapes closed for out entire stay. We didn't spend much time in the room, so it wasn't a big deal. Also, we understood that it was a temporary situation that couldn't be avoided to keep the property looking great on the outside. The inside was impeccable and when you're laying your head down to sleep after a long day of exploring, that's what mattered the most. We would absolutely stay here again!
