As royal as it gets!

The moment you spot the old hunter’s lodge, you know you’ve arrived somewhere unique. Our family cabins offer a good night’s rest to give you enough energy to explore! See everything a little higher up with a visit to the climbing forest, or visit the toy museum to see the largest public toy collection in The Netherlands. The location itself is excellent as well.

Haarlem

A beautiful city surounded by nature

Haarlem is a picturesque city close to Amsterdam, but there’s so much more! Our hostel is located at the edge of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, where spotting wildlife such as horses or Scottish cattle isn’t unusual. And within 20 minutes on the bike and you’re already at the Bloemendaal aan Zee beach.

There's also plenty of culture to explore around this historical city. From the Teylers Museum and Frans Hals Museum to cultural events all year round, and you’ll find beautiful buildings around every corner.

When you're ready for a break from exploring, our hostel's cosy bar lets you try local beers and share stories with other guests. There's even a beehive behind the hostel, and when in-season you can enjoy the fresh and delicious honey with breakfast!
