Carlton Beach
Lovely stay. Great view to the beach with easy access. Hotel is located toward the end of the beach which was quiet but yet near everything close by. Convenient with the parking garage right near the hotel.

Room Mate Bruno, Rotterdam
The staff were always helpful and kind. They asked me about my trip and I mentioned that it was my birthday and when I came back later that day they had left me a bottle of champagne and some chocolates. First rate.
