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.

The beds were a bit soft for me. It took a long time for the shower to get warm.
The hostess was really nice, excellent service. She suggested some things to do and some good restaurants. She even provided me with lensefluid since I had forgotten mine. Breakfast was delicious.

All the lower bunk beds creaked very loudly. The individual bed lamps were very bright, and mine flickered. Locker hinges under the bed were very flimsy and need to be replaced.
Comfortable beds, friendly staff, everything in walking distance, very elegant decor. Nice free Earl Grey tea. Quite good value compared to nearby Amsterdam.

The neighbour across the road was quite disruptive when he shouted during the night for people to keep the noise down, despite the fact that there was often little noise.
The room and location was wonderful, it was very very clean and the lounge area was lovely. We felt very comfortable and secure and felt the whole hostel was equipped with everything we could possibly need, the bed was also extremely comfortable!
