About

People might call me different, but I think that makes me, me. I'm a local boutique hostel. Somewhere in between a 5-star hotel and laid-back hostel.
I'm a place to eat, drink, sleep and meet in Haarlem!, The Netherlands. Located only 15 minutes by train from Amsterdam

All my rooms have a private shower, some share a toilet. Don't worry the toilet won't be more than a step away. I will make sure your bed is ready made when you arrive.

I'm located in the Burgwal Neighborhood in the city center, across the water from the Teylers Museum and the central square, the Grote Markt. I'm a 10 minute walk from Haarlem station, 15 minute train ride from Amsterdam and a 30 minute bike ride to my national park and the beaches Zandvoort and Bloemendaal.

Now you could call me old fashion as I enjoy to meet people, play a game or read a book. That's why I left out tv's and Wifi in my 21 rooms. Don't worry there's free WiFi available in my cafe for you internet addicts. I have a place where you can store your bikes.
I also have a guest pantry with all you might need like a microwave, fridge, hairdryer, iron and a water boiler to make your own coffee / tea if you like.

Shopping, a night out or spending time at the beach or in the national park?
My check- in time is at 15:00 but I would love to meet you earlier so you can drop off your bags and I can tell you everything my city has to offer.

The prices excludes the E3,90 tourist tax, per person, per night. The tourist tax needs to be paid upon arrival. My local breakfast is not included in the price. If you have an appetite I can make you breakfast, lunch or a local snack, check my menu and daily specials.

My reception is open between 08:00 - 22:00. If you are arriving/departing at other hours please let me know in advance. Don't worry there's always someone present.

WARNING: My people might make you feel too much at ease. My apologies upfront.

Super cute, clean and friendly hostel. Enjoyed my stay and the staff were so nice. Spent most of it in the common areas that were so cute. However, the beds don’t have curtains or railings so if you’re on the top bunk you have to be careful. Also, this is not a young backpacking place- my entire room was either families with teens or middle-aged couples. So not social. A bit strange for a hostel but I was only there one night.
