everything was wonderful

The hotel is located very close to the center of Haarlem in a beautifully renovated house from the 1600. The owner is a wonderful host that took great pride in preserving the essence of the old building while creating a modern retreat to rest after exploring the beauty of Haarlem. I would highly recommend staying here where the owner makes you feel like a part of the family.

The sink was blocked in our bathroom however it was still manageable and in fairness to the staff, we didn't report it as we could still use it.

The rooms were unique and clean. Bed was very comfortable

Very nice boutique hotel in center of Haarlem. Only negative is a lot of stairs that are old so they are curved and steep. Room was spotless. The decor is quirky but unique and has a nice vibe. The manager was very personable and helpful. Breakfast was also very good.

See above.

We stayed 4 nights rather than Amsterdam as that city had jacked up its hotel prices above $400/night for KINGS' DAY weekend. It was $290 per night and the room was very large and comfortable. The stairs are steep and narrow so not good for those who are unable to maneuver them with luggage. No elevator. The breakfast was the exact same every morning and quite skimpy on the eggs serving. Not enjoyable for the price. The owner was grumpy and seemed to be not enjoying his job for most of the time. One day his waitress did not show for work so understandable, but the other 3 days he clearly conveyed his dissatisfaction with his work with his demeanor and attitude. Hope he adjusts this as he has developed an interesting old world hotel in a good location with charming features.

Some hooks to hang coats would have been handy - we had a lot of rain during our stay. We had a blocked sink that we reported twice, but wasn't rectified. Under the bed needed attention - there was a thick layer of dust.

Great location. Our room was stylish, spacious and bright, overlooking the street. The bed was very comfortable and the settee and table a welcome alternative to sitting on the bed. The bathroom was large with a lovely bath and rain shower.

The staircase is original and therefore very quirky and steep, not recommended for inactive/less able-bodied travellers. But for us, one of the features that made it unique stay

Beautifully restored old building, great care taken with the decor. Very comfortable beds, nice hot showers, excellent breakfast and good advice on local restaurants. Fabulous location, easy access to everything in Haarlem and schipol Airport and train into Amsterdam

This is an old building and has some steep stairs.

The hotel located in the center of the town, very close to the train station and all sites.

The rooms are beautiful but there wasn’t any air con we were there mid April and when the sun was shining it was a little bit warm in the rooms,

The location was perfect, only a 5 min walk to the train station and 20 mins to Amsterdam, the rooms were gorgeous and had everything we needed The staff were also so lovely and it had a nice family vibe when we arrived, and were always there to give directions or answer any questions we had it was perfect!

Not applicable as loved my stay.

Amazing quirky and fabulously decorated hotel which is just as fun and interesting as the photos on their website. Such a lovely change from the other hotels in Haarlem. Owner is really friendly and makes you feel welcome. But, if windy stairs are not your thing this hotel may not be for you. I loved it and will be back !!

NOTHING!

Couldn't have made a better selection than the MAF! Everything was perfect, couldn't think of one thing we'd change! When we travel back to Amsterdam we will definitely rebook this hotel.

Although the description says "upper floors accessible by stairs only", we found the narrowness of the treads a little difficult, narrow treads are common in The Netherlands. There are handrails on one side or the other but where the treads are very narrow, and the stair space wide and curved, perhaps handrails on both sides or in the centre would be helpful to less mobile residents. Very friendly staff kindly carried our cases up and down for us, much appreciated. Although our room had a window, unfortunately the view outside was the wall of the next building, approximately 2 metres away.

We didn't have breakfast as relatives live nearby. But it looks like a lovely place to meet up with a friend for a coffee or daytime meal. The rooms were interestingly laid out and decorated, Dutch style, some beams in the ceiling, some period-type furniture, but modern amenities (bathroom, coffee/tea making). It's an unusual old building that has been renovated. We liked that we could pay at the hotel instead of paying in advance. We would definitely stay again.

Very step and narrow staircase is not for the infirm and carrying bags down can be a bit challenging. There is no lift. The bedroom was great but the en suite bathroom and separate toilet both had sliding doors that were noisy to use and impossible to open or close quietly at night!

An historic building that continues to be restored sympathetically. A bit quirky and that added to the charm. Centrally located in Haarlem made it easy to walk to the main square but far enough away from the large church to avoid being woken by the bells.

Stairs are circular and so need to be very careful going up and down. It is an old building being restored so to be expected.

Charming. Wonderful Staff. Room very well appointed. Excellent location.

We didn't have any towels when we arrived late, but the staff were easily contactable, friendly and soon sorted it out.

The design of the room was really unique and the hotel was very cool! Very clean too. Really easy check-in.

Great location in the pedestrian area, parking in walking distance. Stylish, modern rooms in a renovated, historic building-tasteful, special design concept. Very friendly staff. The stairs might be challenging for handicapped people.

The staff, owner was onsite and welcomed us with coffee and delightful conversation . We were early and ere able to check in to our room immediately. The hotels informal reception area was a desk in the restaurant area with 20 ft ceilings with original decorations from many centuries earlier. The room was very comfortable with a king bed a bathtub and shower. Room was in an old Dutch style comfortable warm feeling
