It was ok. Would have been better though.
Pros:

I like how spacious the rooms were and how comfortable the bed was.

Cons:

My room (3) did not have proper night light. It was too dark at night, making it almost impossible to work at the desk.
The worst part was packing my bags. I could barely see the cloths in my suitcase.
The stairs are too steep.
And ubers cannot get to the hotel (we should have been told this before we booked).
Room 2's widow faces another building it is kind of depressing.
The rooms and corridor had a funny smell. I was hoping that it wasnt mould. I didnt want to get sick.

Great value accommodation in the heart of Haarlem
Pros:

Fantastic location, right in the heart of Haarlem, surrounded by shops and bars. Our room was perfect for our one night stay. Yes the stairs are very steep, but that’s exactly what we expected in an old Dutch house.
Really comfortable bed with crisp cotton sheets. Good shower with lots of hot water, nice toiletries and good sized towels. Great to have a proper hair drier too. And the Nespresso machine was a welcome added touch. Ours ( Room 4) was simply furnished, but had everything that we needed.
Check in and check out were easy - the staff were so helpful and couldn’t have done more to make our stay a good one. Plus we were able to leave our bags with them both before check-in and after check-out.
Recommend a meal in the restaurant downstairs which was delicious and not too expensive.
Really pleased that we found this place - great value, lovely staff and delicious food.

Haakjes voor handdoeken mag groter ziedaar handdoeken kunnen uithangen. Groter plankje voor toilettassen zou fijn zijn

Pros:

La posizione ed il ristorante

Cons:

In fase di prenotazione non era indicato che la pulizia della camera nei soggiorni brevi non era prevista. La camera ci è stata pulita una volta sola e gli asciugamani cambiati solo la prima notte su tre notti di soggiorno.
Inoltre questa mattina, il giorno della ripartenza, dalle 8 sono iniziati dei lavori che non ci hanno permesso di dormire in quanto stavano usando trapani e altri strumenti rumorosi.

Pass
Pros:

Wifi staff

Cons:

Front door is stuck that leads to rooms needed help thrice to open. Stairs are too steep and narrow and with luggage its an extreme challenge worse than climbing a mountain in hiking. Overpriced for the location too far from station and check in way to late no proper storage to put your luggage. Poor lighting in room lost my connector for mobile there

Teleurstelling
Pros:

Terras en de hapjes en ligging

Cons:

Tijdens ons verblijf van 15 op 16 oktober kwamen wij na een avondje uit terug op onze kamer. Er zat helemaal geen waterdruk op de waterleiding: er kwam geen druppel uit de kraan. Daardoor konden we niet douchen, onze tanden poetsen, water drinken of het toilet doorspoelen.

Ik vond dit ontzettend vervelend en mijn vrouw was er echt boos over. We zijn noodgedwongen zonder te douchen naar bed gegaan en hebben ons erg vies gevoeld. Allesbehalve een fijne afsluiting van ons dagje weg.

Bij een hotelovernachting mag je verwachten dat deze basisvoorzieningen beschikbaar zijn. Ik hoor graag hoe dit heeft kunnen gebeuren en welke passende compensatie jullie hiervoor kunnen bieden.

Super Location. Aber nur Zimmer nach vorne sind empfehlbar!
Pros:

Super Lage, besser geht nicht!

Cons:

Ich kann die Zimmer nach hinten nicht empfehlen. Direkt vor meinem Fenster brüllte die Ablüftungsanalge des Restaurants so laut, dass die Fenster vibrierten - ganztätgig bis Mitternacht. Die Fenster waren nicht zu öffnen. Gerne hätte ich die Lautstärke des Marktplatzes genossen. Das wäre eine Wohltat dagegen gewesen.

Een ruime nette kamer vlak aan de Grote Markt.
Pros:

Ruime nette kamer waar alles aanwezig was, inclusief koffie en thee.

Cons:

De steile trap omhoog en het rumoer van de terrassen maar er liggen oordoppen klaar op het bed. Eens middernacht voorbij was het rumoer wel verdwenen.

Confortable mais ruyant
Pros:

La facilité d'accès depuis la gare, simplicité du check in, confort du lit

Cons:

Salle de bain très exigue et qui sentait l'humidité au départ.
Emplacement assez bruyant donnant directement sur la place au dessus de la terrasse du restaurant (bruit de la terrasse du restaurant, puis du repli à la fermeture, mise en place le matin, nettoyage de la place au souffleur à 8h...) le tout sur une place en pavé.
D'autre part, renseignez vous au préalable car la place est souvent le lieu d'animations culturelles, quand nous y étions il y avait un festival de musique (rock et techno), impossible de s'endormir sans bouchons d'oreilles (fournis par l'hôtel, merci🙂)
