Fantastic 5 star hotel
The staff and Hotel Karel IV are amazing. The were so kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, the pool and sauna are fantastic, the gym is great with water and towels provided, and the breakfast is amazing!!! This truly is the only real 5 star hotel in Holland with 5 star service. The location is very central, easily walk to the shops at the mall, in the city or to the train station. The best place to stay.
