    Mattress and duvet should be changed in the comfort rooms. They were not bad but not very good either.

    Loved the staff kindness and the lovely terrace by the bar. Wendy at the reception should get 5 stars just for herself.

    Mixed rooms. It is nice to have an option to stay in a female room.

    A bit far from everything, but the bus stop is just in front of the hostel or 15 min by foot to the train station. Included breakfast is a good point. Clean, calm place. I recommend staying.

    Check-in and check-out were smooth. The room was well organized and clean, as was the bathroom (which is inside the room). As always, there was someone snoring in my room, which made it difficult for me to sleep, but it's not the Hostel's fault. The included breakfast was great.

    Breakfast was included not a huge selection but it worked well for me. The rooms were nice and the bathrooms are attached to the rooms. Location was a little far from the city center however there is a bus stop right outside the hostel which can take you into the city.

    Breakfast could be better!

    Breakfast is OK , location is OK , bus stop is right in front of the hotel 👍 staff was friendly/accommodating👍👍, the best part is the pillow/duvet cover and the bed sheet given - not all hostels do so , hence this is the best hostel i have come across, thank you 👍🙂 Special mention to the receptionist- I had booked a mixed dorm for the first time in my life, It was last minute decision, I was not sure how many men had already checked in before me… I expressed my doubts and the gal at the reception, she gave me another dorm where at least one other woman had checked in already… thanks to the gal 👍🙂

    I would have liked more variety at breakfast. The bedding comes wrapped in plastic, which seems unnecessary.

    It had everything I needed for a short stay. The hostel was easy to find and check in was simple. The property is at the edge of a big park and there's a supermarket 3 min cycle away. The beds were better than those at Stayokay Bunnik and each bed has its own power socket and light. There was a place to hang up my wet raincoat in the room (I think it was a towel hook actually).

    Stay okay Haarlem was pretty decent and a budget property. The staff is really friendly and helpful. It's a bit far away from the city of Amsterdam (Amsterdam Central) but if you would want to explore Haarlem and nearby areas it's a 10/10 deal! Would definitely visit again and sure for long stays.

    There were large numbers of children who only knew how to run in the corridors and up and down stairs. If I’d known that I would have booked somewhere else. It was also a long way from Haarlem itself and if you didn’t have a bike, a bus was required which was close by fortunately. Amsterdam required a train as well.

    A good Breakfast was included and there were some nice walks nearby.

    Poor service in bar area, we had to keep going and finding staff. Info says strictly no food to be brought in to dining area so we paid for a meal there, then watched lots of people eat their own food. Area easy to find but quite far from any restaurants etc.

    Family friendly
