This is a hostel, so you have to make your own bed (linens provided). They do not provide towels.
We found the place full of school kids, biking groups, and noisy World Cup partiers. Not really our scene as a family of four but if you’re a young person it might be a great lower cost option. Just make sure you bring a towel!

4 cyclists on holiday from uk

Hostel is quite a way out of Haarlem and next to a busy road but on arrival we discovered we had been given a room at the back facing the park - much appreciated as 4 cyclists on a cycle/touring holiday.
Lovely friendly staff . Had some snacks from the bar and there was a lovely brazier to sit around in the garden .
Met some friendly Dutch and Americans.

Breakfast adequate for our needs .

The location with free parking was excellent. We used the bus stop across the street to ride into the heart of the city amd back. The ride was enjoyable and we took in the architecture and sites. Downtown we shopped, and had a drink and baked goods and enjoyed more incredible views. We had a room with private bath and shower and two bunk beds for the four of us. The breakfast was good with many selections of beverage, fruits, cheeses, meats and breads. You will make your own bed and towels are rented for a couple dollars per person. The drive to Schipol airport was not bad at all, however we allowed ample time and drove off peak.

Pretty Good

The StayOkay was as the name suggests okay. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean. Breakfast was delicious! And, the bike service was convenient. We were really disappointed with the temperature in our room. It was very HOT and humid!! They were not able to give us a fan. The hostel is located north of the city, which is a bus ride away...a little farther than was convenient.

A very pleasant experiene

I rarely rate my stays anywhere but I was surprised at the convenience of this hostel. The rooms were quite fresh and welcoming, and new linen was provided.

I'm not a great fan of continental breakfasts but a good choice was provided and for the room price it was more than adequate.

Some smart employee even themed documentation on the front desk to accommodate like-minded residents (As there were a lot of us attending a local convention).

Great job, would stay again!

Clean and comfortable in a private 4 person room

Considering we booked the hostel just 4 days before NYE, for the amount we paid to stay at stayokay over New Years weekend we were pleasantly suprised. We were expecting it to be terrible but it was not bad at all. The room was clean, basic but had everything we needed. The shower was good and powerful. We had a private room for 4 with bunk beds and a private bathroom, bunk beds weren’t ideal but with close friends we were comfortable in the room. Only negatives were that the wasn’t a full length mirror and it was quite expensive to get a taxi back to after a night out. On public transport during the day it easy to get to and from Amsterdam (about 40mins).

Below average experience

Quite small room with low ceiling. Breakfast was okay (it was included in the price). After 23:00 and before 08:00ish reception closed. Towels not included. The hostel private parking place can hardly hold 10 cars. Although you can park in the public places outside. Very very noisy during my stay, probably because the hostel rented the premise for a wedding and all the wedding guests probably stayed in the hostel rooms.
I chose this hostel in Haarlem so that I could have a nice calm place to spend the evening. But unfortunately it was the complete opposite with noisy and shouting people around. The staffs were helpful.

Nice basic hostel with friendly atmosphere

This is a basic European hostel and if you have the right expectaction you will have a good experience. The breakfast is included. It's a buffet with several different kinds of bread, boiled eggs, some veggies, cereals, ham and cheese. Parking is free although it's limited and you might need to park on street. The room is bare bones basic but clean. They charge for towels and you have to make your own bedding. Overall, it's a good place for a family to stay.

Good value hostel in Haarlem

I stayed in one of the larger dorms during August. Unlike many hostels I've stayed in the other visitors were generally older then me. There were several families with small children and people on cycling holidays. The general atmosphere of the hostel is very relaxed. The food in the complimentary breakfast was excellent compared to food I've had at other hostels.

The location is attractive, on top of a river. The hostel is a 15-20 minute walk away from Santpoort-Zuid railway station, and from there it's 20 minute train ride to Amsterdam Central. It is a long walk into the centre of Haarlem, but it is possible to rent bicycles from the hostel and (unsurprisingly for Holland) the area is extremely bike-friendly . I rented a bike and cycled to the coastal resort of Zandvoort, through the nature reserve which lies between Haarlem and the sea.

Overall my experience was very positive. I found it to be a good balance between visiting Amsterdam and the surrounding area. I would not recommend it for people solely interested in visiting Amsterdam however.

Bring a towel as these are not included (though they can be purchased from the hostel)

1st Hosteling experience for years!!

Just loved this hostel, so handy to get to as the bus no2 from Haarlem stopped just outside the door. €2 a single journey. Only disappointment was that it was not near the sea as stated but 8 km from the sea...a rather long walk!!! Stayed with my adult son and found it very convenient and a fantastic place to stay...great value for money.

Tamanho bom, as janelas do nosso quarto davam para a área verde, o café da manhã è básico, poderia ter pelo menos mais uma máquina de café para não ter tanta fila. Considere que toalhas são fornecidas mediante pagamento, não há amenities como sabonete e fez falta um tapete ao sair do banho .chuveiro bom, espaço grande. Eu recomendo esse lugar, è muito tranquilo e agradável . Simples mas atende as necessidades.

Lits confortables, chambres austères mais correctes car c’était juste pour dormir!
Bon compromis rapport qualité prix. PDJ correcte; dommage que l’équipe ne gère pas trop quand il y a trop de monde ! (Pas de verre, plus d’œufs brouillés mais œufs durs,..). Le parking est petit donc jamais de place!!! Obligé de se garer plus loin dans la rue!!! Le côté écologique nous a fait sourire car les fenêtres sont très mals isolées; l’air passe donc obligé de mettre la chauffage au maximum !!! Problème de fuite d’eau sous le lavabo = problème résolu ; on nous a mis un petit sceau en dessous!😂

朝食はすごくおいしかったです。冷凍庫もあり保冷剤を預かってもらえました。清潔です。夜間到着だったので、メールなどであらかじめ連絡して、スキポールから300番バスとハーレム駅から2番のバスで乗り継いでいけました。最初のバスで6ユーロの券90分を買っておくことが大事です。ホステルからスキポールに戻るときにバス運転手が無知で、2回で合計8.3ユーロ払う羽目になりました。ホステルはシャワーもきれい、トイレもきれい、部屋についておりました。2段ベッドあり、6人部屋。夜中到着で他に人に申し訳なかったですが、ベッド灯りは点滅灯で見えにくくて、スマホ灯で見ました。アムステルダムの安い宿が満室で、近隣でこの値段で泊まれてよかったです。ホステルの前にバス停があり、便利です。
