Location is great (cannot be better), but hotel is tired (dirty carpet etc). Up to EUR 100 per night it makes sense, but we paid EUR 179, which is too much for what they offer.

The hotel is in a great location, but it was a bit noisy at times (due to the nightclub). The staff were generally friendly, except for the man who checked us in.

The exterior and lobby area of the hotel was lovely giving it an appearance of luxury. However once you exit the elevators and on your floor, the disrepair shows very quickly. The carpets were dirty and stained. The walls chipped. The room was very little, and for the most part clean but aged. The window looked over the roofs of neighbouring buildings and all the piping for ventilation etc. the bathroom was very small and you had to sit sideways on the toilet or your knees would hit the shower wall. The shower however was wonderful and hot!

This hotel is very outdated. The floor in our room was sagging and the carpets everywhere were dirty and stained. The photos on hotel’s website are very deceiving. The bathroom in our room was not even close to the photos. The shower floor was cracked, the water didn’t drain properly and the floor looked dirty because it’s so stained. We would not stay here again. I wish I read the reviews on Google and not on *******.
The staff was nice and breakfast was very good. The location is excellent.

Great location which has a premium but for the price we found it quite disappointing, more cleaning and repairs required.

I must admit, The Ambassador hotel surprised me. The restaurant and bar are top class! The barman can mix any cocktail you want as he is very experienced and well focused on the customers.
The bedrooms are reasonable and comfortable. 
I would highly recommend this hotel as it’s close to town and all the shops and restaurants.

Love staying here for the location. Great access to everything in Haarlem city center. Bathrooms could use some updating to help make them feel cleaner.

The location is perfect. Right next to the church. Lots of shopping and dining options. The room has signs of wear but is clean and roomy.

Nice location, but too hot in the room. There’s no airconditioning. Just needed a good rest but unfortunately.. won’t book it again, especially in summer time
