The Other Side

Only stayed one night but it was close to transport, easy access to airport and city centre. Well maintained. Room, facilities and breakfast were very good

A very basic, no frills room, but worked great for me. The shower sometimes made a weird burbling noise (I think when someone else in the building was taking a shower?), and when it was hot outside the room got very hot (a small fan would go a long ways, there was no breeze from the window even when it cooled off outside), and the construction noises from the floor below started early. Carpet was old and worn, with a bleached out spot on it, but was otherwise clean. Continental breakfast was good (fresh baked bread was a highlight!), and being able to use the lift during open restaurant hours to get my suitcase up and down was helpful, as it's basically three flights of stairs up to the room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Haarlem is charming, and it's a short (less than 15 minutes) walk to the train station for a sprinter train into Amsterdam. There's also a nearby bus route that goes to the airport, which was very convenient. A nice, economical option for a single traveler.

5 minute peaceful walk to the public transit. Rooms nice. Bed nice. Breakfast great. Friendly people. Just a few minor room issues like shower head, trash can lid broke - but easy stuff to overlook. Would stay again.
