“Small, overpriced, okay breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

Stayed here during a convention and the hotel was well situated for the occassion, but still: small room, like being back in the seventies (green/brownish decoration of the bathroom), bathroom was freezingly cold and the door knob of the bathroom was held together with a safety pin (...).
Our room was situated at the street side of the hotel and at night we were kept up by people coming from the club nearby and in the morning we were woken by garbagebins with glass being collected, wipe car driving by etc.
The part of the hotel where the rooms are smelled of overcooked brussels-sprouts...

They do have free Wifi which is much appreciated and breakfast was okay as well, being the cheapest hotel available in Haarlem, this was to be expected, but cheap it was not! Maybe Haarlem is just an expensive city?

Room Tip: Try to get a room away from the street

“Close to everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

This is not a luxury hotel but it is clean, convenient, close to everything and employs very friendly staff. Die Raeckse is a challenge to spell correctly but a pleasure to reside. We stayed in a room in the back, very quiet. The room is a but basic but since I always sleep with my eyes closed that was OK. Room and bathroom were clean. Beware of the breakfast buffet: everything tastes excellent! I specifically can recommend you the bread with raisins and the cracky cheesy the Dutch call old cheese.
Across the street is a supermarket where lunch supplies can be bought. Dutch dairies should be world dominating, so good. The hotel is minutes aways from the center of Haarlem. Haarlem is smaal and friendly and well connected. 12 train minutes bring you to the center of Amsterdam. We liked the cosiness of Haarlem though: it is beautiful at daylight but at least as beautiful at night: the streetlight shine like yellowish lanterns throwing you two centuries back in time. Enjoy as much time in HAarlem as you can, you can always sleep in the plane back home.

Room Tip: Take a room in the back. Street works are going on in the front

“Cosy. Quiet. Clean.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

My wife and I enjoyed our two nights stay in this small but very well managed hotel tucked away Harleem. The staff were wonderful so also was the breakfast. Though our room was small, the twin beds were very comfortable. Had a wonderful stay. Would we be coming back? Sure, we will.

Room Tip: Book well ahead.
