Hotel Dekat Muzium van de Geest

"Lovely characterful old building. Room was very comfortable and we were offered an air con unit as we were staying in a heatwave which was brilliant. Breakfast was lovely and the location of the hotel is perfect."

"The owners were absolutely amazing, they gave us a lot of useful information upon our arrival. Extremely helpful. They even made us a breakfast to go on our departure day as we had to leave very early in the morning. The breakfast was wonderful. I wish I could give them 10 stars! Also the location was great as well. Very close to bus stops and the train station."

"Amazing hotel. Near to the train station and the central part of harleem. Staff attentive, friendly and knowledgeable x We spent days out in different areas, harleem, Amsterdam, etc and within walking distance to the station. Hotel room was quirky and beautiful x clean and tidy. Staff definitely keep the place in great order. We had breakfast one day and plenty of choice, fresh food available and extra cooked options too. If we visit again would use this place as our base"

"Really great feature is the digital key to open your door incase you forget the key card. Comfortable bed, very clean, great shower."

"Staff was very helpful. Bed good. Amenities good. Breakfast excellent."

"The staff were absolutely lovely and helped me navigate bus/train routes, were responsive. the restaurant staff were very lovely. located very close to the bus station and can easily walk to downtown. very quiet. if I find myself in Haarlem again, would love it."

"The excellent staff did all they could to make or stay as pleasant as possible. However, the rooms were outdated and a bit scruffy. We had to ask for the rugs to be vacuumed and the bathroom floor washed before we felt comfortable with the cleanliness. The major drawbacks were that the hotel is without air conditioning and some rooms are quite noisy, as they are on the street with bar and restaurants all along the street on which the hotel resides. That said, I would consider looking at it again...

"The whole experience was very nice. Breakfast was varied and tasty. It is better to have a car there but train access was good. Staff was friendly, professional and accessible."

"Tout top 👌"

"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!"

"What a fantastic find in Zaandam — we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The hotel is surrounded by excellent options for dinner and drinks, with a wonderful atmosphere that makes it a pleasure just to step outside. A lively shopping street is just a few meters away, and the train station — with easy connections to Amsterdam and other beautiful nearby cities — is conveniently close, making it the perfect base for exploring the region. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the hotel freshly...

"Have stayed here twice, will stay here again"

"Loved staying there So convenient"

"Front desk staff were very accommodating and a clean room. Basic bar food and nice market/dining options on premise. A good last stay before an international flight."

"Great room and great breakfast!"

"Check in isn’t easy when you have multiple rooms under one reservation. Rooms are tight, bed was up against the wall so hard for the 2nd person to get out of bed without waking the first. It was a unique experience. It was quiet, couldn’t hear the planes which was great and very convenient."
