We loved the spacious and light-filled room on the upper floor. Sylvia is a most welcoming and engaging host. Beautiful breakfasts.

Sylvia was fantastic! So welcoming and friendly. Each morning of our stay she prepared a beautiful breakfast in her garden. We even came back one evening and she had left us some Aloe Vera after seeing how badly sun burnt my partner was. She had the room ready early for us and allowed us to stay later on the day we were leaving allowing us to walk around beautiful Haarlem without our luggage in tow. The location is great. Bus ride to the beach which is absolutely beautiful. And very close to a beautiful calmer than Amsterdam town. Room was spacious and had everything we needed. A. A waterbed may not be our choice of bed but was surprised to find it was comfy. Note that the steps are quite steep but wouldn't stop me returning :) overall just a brilliant host and would definitely recommend.

Sylvia was the perfect host and, in particular, helped us to navigate the pitfalls of a series of intermittent train strikes in the Netherlands. I miss her excellent breakfasts!!

The window blinds in the room didn't keep the room dark enough for us.

Excellent location, a few minutes walk from the centre of Haarlem, yet away from the hustle and bustle. Near bus routes to major locations like Schipol airport, and not far from the railway station. The host was very welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was really nice with fresh bread and a selection of dutch cheeses, ham etc all sourced from local producers. Haarlem is a great location for a weekend break, lots to see and do and easy to walk around.

Wasn't so keen on waterbed, it felt like we were rolling out, maybe a bit too much water, but we slept well. Provision of toiletries would be good.

Delightful.host and lovely breakfasts and we were made to feel very much at home. Sylvia has a lovely place. It was great being able to leave our suitcases after we checked out. Easy walking distance to train and town. Big bedroom with a lovely view of canal. We weren't so keen on the steepness of the stairs but overall a great stay.

It was in a beautiful location along the canal. Sylvia and family were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing and a great way to start off each day. Fresh fruit, bread, meat and cheese cannot be beat!

All our recommendations for Sylvia. She is an excellent host—communicative, cheerful, and always smiling. Always ready to help. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and safe, close to the train station and the bus terminal. The accommodation is clean and tidy, with a beautiful view of the canal. Breakfast is outstanding: warm fresh pastries, a wide selection of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, spreads, and jams. And Sylvia makes the best latte! We had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything, Sylvia—we will never forget you. Katarina and Ivona

Sylvia was the most gracious hostess. European breakfast each morning was amazing! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quieter stay, yet close to the Amsterdam city center.

The house is very clean and attractive—and the location is perfect. It’s near the city center but in a quiet area! I love that it’s right on a canal! Also, Sylvia is fantastic—great communication and very helpful! And she provides a wonderful breakfast!

Breakfast was the best I've ever had at a hotel or a B&B. Local cheeses, cold meats and spreads. The location was perfect down a quiet canal but easy walking distance to the centre of town and a beautiful park.

Excellent location with a cute canal in a quiet area close to a large green park, yet less than a 10 minute stroll to the centre of Haarlem. A large room with modern bathroom and good shower. The host was very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The breakfast was superb and the coffee very good.

Location to Haarlem - a short walk to the town square. The host very hospitable and obliging. An Australian connection !! A modern spacious room, comfortable bed and great ensuite. Good breakfast complimented with great coffee. Enjoyed the Christmas Spirit and being treated to German Christmas cake and cookies. 🎅
