This property is OUTSTANDING in many ways! All the staff at the reception were friendly, accommodating and provided me with everything that I needed from early check-in, towels, refreshments, adaptor, suggestions where to go, etc. I had a fab breakfast at less than 10 euros! Scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes was the best! The lobby is really cool and relaxing to hang out. The room is very spacious and sparkling clean with private toilet and bath, this is what I really like :). The bed, pillows and linen were so comfy, I've never experienced this before with other hostels, I decided to skip a night out and just enjoyed my rest. Everything was perfect!

I like everything about this hostel! It’s the cutest and warmest hostel I have ever seen. It’s my third time to stay in this hostel and my fourth time to be in Haarlem. Everyone here is so helpful and it makes me feel like home when Jill said “welcome back” to me.
