Theater De Roode Bioscoop

Cleaned room. Staff was amazing. Ac does not cool. Was able to get a ventilator easily but room has no windows so it was hot air circulating. Not easy to sleep.

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.

The cat is a sweetheart! Thank you for the water in the room and all the advice on places to see! Close to the museums to walk to but the bus and tram are right there. The breakfast downstairs is worth the monez for sure. We enjoyed out basement room and our stay.
