Welcome to Haarlem: Plenty on offer when it comes to cultural trips, shopping, drinking and dining! And, of course, the beach and capital city of Amsterdam are also close by as well.
The great thing about Haarlem and the surrounding area is that thereβs so much to do! The Kennemer Dunes and Bloemendaal beach are just round the corner, and you can get to Amsterdam in no time. Hire a bike and explore the area like a local!
In the hostel
A cosy waterside terrace where you can snuggle up to a warm fire and happily reflect upon a day well spent. The authentic bar invites you to try out a local drink. Book a shared or private room, each with its own shower and toilet. A tasty breakfast is included.
Even our smallest guests are taken care of! With our beehives, an insect hotel and a terrace full of native plants, we offer bees and other insects a welcoming home.
Reviews are important. For you and for us. It helps you to make the right choice and helps us to learn. That is why we post reviews on external (booking) sites on our own website.

Guests receive an email after their stay to leave a review. The scores are calculated by means of an analysis of the written review and are based on the past 12 months. Written reviews are summarised because we cannot show them in full due to copyright issues. But positive or negative, we post them all. We do not pay for reviews and fake reviews are reported.
