The hotel was stunning and set in beautiful grounds. We had a superior suite which took up most of the top floor so had great views. plus we could leave all the windows open when wee went out, much needed as the weather was sunny and hot. Loved that the items in the mini bar were complementary, a really nice touch. Breakfast was fabulous and delivered to to the room, one of the reasons that I chose this hotel. The bed was super comfy and huge, the whole suite beautifully kitted out and i loved that I could read in the bath while the hubby watched the Grand Prix and we were in the same room :) We chose the location as we have a day and evening in Zandvoort planned, and it worked out perfectly. E20 in an uber each way to the beach.

The only teeny downside is we could have done with more coffee for the morning, if a pot of fresh coffee was provided on the breakfast tray it would have been perfection :)

Very quiet location. Very pretty, easy walk, alongside a park, to the city centre which took about 30 minutes. Large room, two patio doors looking out on the beautiful garden, if it had been hot/sunny we could have sat outside, patio table and chairs provided. Bed and bed linen comfy. Large shower cubicle, good shower. Fantastic breakfast delivered to our door each morning.

Not enough tops/shelves to put things on, especially toileteries. Very small table in the room, when we used it to put the breakfast tray on we had to move everything off the table! Not enough hooks to hang coats etc.

While a fully digital check-in is a bit unpersonal, it was very useful for us as we arrived late. We received two codes for the main door and the room and all worked perfectly. We could park the car right in front of the house. A very nice breakfast was placed in front of the room in the morning that we could complement with fresh coffee from the coffee machine. With the left overs we prepared our lunch breads. There is a nice park outside that in summer certainly would be great to relax in. Before we left the place, a nice lady came to confirm that we had found everything to our satisfaction.

The hotel is a small “boutique” style hotel - a one-off property. The hotel itself is located in a converted house on a main road on the outskirts of Haarlem, but still within the town area. The conversion has been professionally done to a high standard. There is one room in the roof space and another 3 or 4 (?) downstairs. Everything is digital, there is no reception. Check in and check out were seamless and very easy. There is ample parking right in front of the hotel. Our room was spotless and well appointed. The bed had a quality topper that was very comfortable and we slept well. Our room, in the roof space, had an open plan bathroom with the glass shower cubicle and the bath in the actual room. I am not a big fan of this concept but in this instance it worked well and did not seem strange. The rainwater shower was excellent. There was a small kitchenette, an iron and board as well as some comfortable chairs.

Overall our stay was faultless. If pushed to find fault I would judge that the attic room was a bit on the dark side despite one full length window overlooking the garden and lake. This really wasn’t an issue but nowhere is perfect, right?

The large room and glass doors to the garden

No 24 hour concierge so if there were any problems had to use the telephone. Two peaceful nights. There was a rowdy group for one of our three nights and we realised lack of concierge was a problem. The staff were very understanding but doesn’t make up for the disturbances

Attention to detail in the room and the breakfast were highlights! Comfortable bed and lounge area. A wonderful getaway, we would definitely come again for a romantic night away and we live in Haarlem. Nice to take a stroll through the Hout forest in the morning.

Nothing negative! Only suggestion we could think of was to add bath robes to the suite for lounging after a bath. Otherwise this experience was wonderful!

The owner was lovely and went out of his way to meet our needs. You should definitely opt in for the amazing breakfast.

Room 14 at the top of the stairs is under the eves, so it is oddly laid out with a glass shower in the middle of the bedroom. Head bonking issues for tall people. No ac, but lovely cross breeze from open windoes.

The hotel looked good on the site - and it massively exceeded our expectations. The base was perfect for us - in cycling distance of Haarlem, Heemstede, Zandvoort - and the station at Heemstede for the train to Amsterdam. The patio/terrace outside our room (the Royal suite) was great and we didn't realise that we'd benefit from a great and peaceful garden. Bas, the owner/manager, was really helpful and the service was first class all round. Can't recommend it highly enough - but do note there are no communal hotel facilities like reception or dining room. Wasn't a problem for us - and the excellent continental breakfast was left outside the room each day.

Nothing - we loved it all.

The suite was very comfortable. The king bed was a treat and the room was surprisingly quiet as it was on a busy street. Anne was our staff contact and had everything in order for us.

The glass shower in the middle of the room was a bit interesting. I liked it but my wife sure didn’t.

Easy to control the heating in the room. Just turn it Down as you leave for the day and heat up as you return for the night. Bed was superb!

A bit pricey
