Stayokay Hostel Haarlem

The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had lots of choices, different dishes each day, tasted good, and was plentiful. The breakfast room was bright and spacious. Bikes were available to rent. It was too far to walk from Haarlem centre or train station, but you could cycle, or take a bus that stopped directly outside and which ran every 30 minutes and cost €3.10 each way. The bin in the room was changed daily. The shower and toilet were separated. The shower was hot and had a good pressure, but the shower cubicle was small.

There was hand soap but no shower gel, so bring your own. Also bring your own towel and padlock. The worst thing was the beds. The mattress and bedding was comfortable, but the bedding had to be placed and removed yourself. Not a big problem you would think, but it was when people would arrive at all times of the night and early hours and start clattering and disturbing you. The bed frames are metal bunk beds, and shake crazily every time the person in the top bunk turns over, climbs up or down the stairs, or moves in their sleep. There is no privacy curtain on the beds. There is no night light in the room, there are individual night lights at each bed, but because there are no need curtains, the lights flood the whole room, making it impossible to sleep. No separation between the toilet, shower, and beds, so all the noise of someone using the toilet is transmitted to the room

Prima bed en service

Rien

Trop cher pour une chambre avec des lits superposés où il faut faire et défaire son lit. Pour ceux qui prennent la place du dessus : bon courage ! Insonorisation moyenne entre les chambres. Pas de savon dans les douches. Auberge de jeunesse sans cuisine. Le petit dej n’a vraiment rien d’exceptionnel comme il est écrit dans certains commentaires. Hygiène à revoir pour le personnel que j’ai vu mettre le fromage et la charcuterie avec les mains dans la cuisine. Bref Le rapport qualité prix n’est pas au rendez vous : 1 nuit pour 3 à 240€ !

Logement simple avec tout ce qu'il faut

Un peu loin à pied de la gare

L'auberge est correcte, facile à trouver et bien situé, le personnel est très sympathique et accueillant.

Les lits dans les chambres manquent d'intimité, les chambres sont peu isolées et le petit déjeuner propose peu d'options sucrées
