About this property
I am the most local boutique hostel in the world. My 21 rooms are all themed with Dutch designs that reflect Haarlem and its surroundings.
Want to be close to everything? You're in luck! I am just a 3 minute walk from Grote Markt and the shopping street, and a 10 minute walk from Haarlem train station. Plus, I am only 30 minutes away from the airport.
And that's not all! I am also just 20 minutes away from the beach. So, whether you want to explore the city or soak up some sun, I've got you covered! And guess what? I have bikes for rent, so you can easily get around and see all that Haarlem has to offer.
From a cozy double private room to a 14-bed dorm, I have accommodations to fit every traveler's needs. With my vintage interior design, you'll feel right at home in no time.
But don't just take my word for it. Come and experience it for yourself and make memories you'll want to tell all your friends about. So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay now and let's make your Haarlem adventure unforgettable!
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
