“Fantastic location BUT...............”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

Fantastic location with friendly staff and good food in the restaurant. Breakfast is not served until 07.30 which is far too late for those staying on a business trip. The rooms on the upper floors are approached by flights of extremely steep stairs which are almost vertical. No lift so this hotel not suitable for those who can not climb like a mountain goat! The bedroom was extremely small and cramped with nowhere to set out your suitcase. The housekeeping standards are poor. My advise is eat in the restaurant, but do not stay here unless you really want a budget hotel.

“budget hotel in the city center”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

This hotel is in the city center of Haarlem and not a bad walk from the train station. The staff is friendly and the breakfast buffet was good (pretty standard NL buffet). My husband and I booked a room sans toilet and shower. This really wasn't too bad. We were in #32. There is no AC and I could see it being hot in the summer time in these rooms so be aware. They do post pics of the rooms on the website so you do know what to expect. It is no frills but neither is the price. I had an issue with getting many bug bites which may have been due to having the windows open for air.

“Bring a climbimg rope!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

Friendly staff and good food in the restaurant. Not a place to stay if you want an early start as no breakfast until 07.30.
Very, very steep stairs to the rooms which could be regarded as danderous. Rooms small and airless. I certainly will not be back.

Room Tip: Do not bother to book

“Small, worn-down and noisy - a flea-hostel rather than a hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

Spent two nights at this place. Seems like the owners invest mainly in their restaurant and the accommodation is only an after-thought, and not a good one.
Main two problems are: (1) tiny rooms that feel old and worn-down, and (2) HORRIBLE levels of noise (if you pick a front facing room, it's above the restaurant with ongoing chatter and smells of food from lunch until late night; if you pick a back room, there's a dance club with beat music until around 3AM). We slept a minimal amount of hours and tried to stay away from the room during the day.
The location is right in the central market, however Haarlem is so compact that all other hotels will be near it anyways. Plus, this one is too central, as all the noise and dirt is right in you face.
We thought the staff were nice, breakfast alright (good coffee) and cleanliness levels fair, but that's all the positives.
I'd like to say that if this was priced cheaper it'd be worth the money, but not sure if even that's fair to say, as you really just don't sleep well there.
We were happy to move to our next stop (Amsterdam) and to a real hotel.

“Clean budget hotel in great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Had a short stay here over Easter weekend. Having arrived very late (just gone midnight) was relieved to find they had kept our room vacant! Despite the crowds in the square enjoying the unusually warm spring weather the room (21) was really quiet, other then the sound of the shared shower being used in the floor above. The rooms are basic, ours did have a tv and a small, tired, but clean bathroom (there are some rooms which do not have ensuite). Breakfast is basic but completely adequate with a selection of cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, different breads, ham, cheese, egg and yes even a toaster!! The coffee is to die for (ie short and strong!) and the staff were always really friendly and helpful. There is also a lovely menu in the restaurant, the ribs especially highly recommended. Remember this is a "budget" hotel and you will definitely not be disappointed.
