Turfhuys aan het Spaarne

So central to everything - just a short walk to centre of the Old Town and 10 kinutes more to bus and train stations,, right next door to fantastic Fish restaurant (we ate there - lovely food and staff) on one side and bistro on other, across road from canal, cafe on the corner. The bed was very comfy, the kitchen had all we needed. It was spotlessly clean. The little 3 storey house is all part of the hire - no sharing of the building. We wished we'd booked for longer. Staying in Haarlem instead of Amsterdam was a fantastic decision. We could easily reach everywhere we wanted to go by train (Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht) or bus (Keukenhoff for the daffodils), and Haarlem itself was beautiful, and people friendly and helpful.

The STAIRS. They were scary and not too different to ladders. It was very hard to take our 18kg suitcases up them, and we had to climb and descend them like ladders. The shower drain needs clearing as the shower water spreads across bathroom, no matter what we did.

This is a very unique historic building right on a canal, with the historic features preserved. It’s on three levels with VERY steep stairs (common in Holland, but not for anyone with mobility issues) - you can get your carry ons up OK, but large suitcases are an issues (I left mine downstairs). Comfortable beds, efficient heat for cold and rainy days. Within easy walking distance to the sights and many restaurants. We were personally welcomed by the host’s colleague and provided details about the house and the town, and also allowed to store our luggage on our last day. There are chairs for sitting out on the water in good weather.

The coffee maker did not work. The house is right above a restaurant which can get very noisy with rowdy guests.

Great property, very cosy. Fabulous location, restaurants, walks, beach, easy access from Amsterdam airport via bus or train. Fabulous hosts would stay again. Thank you 😊

Excellent central location, view to canal.

Shower draining could have been better.

Uniqueness and Pieter meeting us at bus stop to haul our luggage back to quarters by bike wagon.

Would take someone far smarter than me to operate the tv((not a big deal) and took several days to decipher the climate control system partially.

Very comfy bed. The house is in an excellent location and very characterful.

Very cozy and clean little condo in the centre of Haarlem. Fantastic view and equipped with all you can wish for. Even coffee capsules were supplied. Stayd here for a few nights and it was definitely not my last time. Thank You for the hospitality.

What a sweet place this is and the host is marvelous! Pieter was so kind to us and made our stay in Harleem even sweeter. Firstly he kindly let us check in early. The property is been lovingly renovated preserving loads of original features. It's really cool that Pieter told us the story of the house, so interesting! The property is clean and comfortable. There is everything for a cosy stay. Bed is comfortable and shower is powerful. I loved complementary Ritual shower gel and shamooo, a nice touch. The view of the canal from the bedroom is dreamy. Location super central. This is really a perfect base to explore Harleem. There is a pub/chicken restaurant just below, which is really cool to spend an evening. Pieter also recommend a local restaurant which we loved and would have not found otherwise. Thank you for my little souvenir too. 100% recommend. Elisabetta & Paul
