Steep stairs but we know that ahead of time and Andrea helped with our luggage. Good handrails.

Wonderful hosting by the owner’s daughter Andrea who was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Lovely home that was a reasonable walk to the center of town. We like Haarlem so much we didn’t go to Amsterdam. Nice breakfast in the beautiful dining room. Bikes available to borrow which we didn’t do.

William was very helpful with our travel plans, researching routes and making suggestions of places to visit. Breakfast was delicious. Location easy to find and central.

the room was a bit tight, and while we half expected the bathroom to be separate, we were still surprised, and not delighted. the description of the room stated, private bathroom, and it was but not in the way it is private when ensuite. the confined room did not allow for a proper yoga routine as i had expected and hoped for.

our hosts were engaging. breakfast was excellent and the house comfortable.

Bathroom on separate floor however it wasn't a problem for us.

We stayed 3 nights. Wim and Kitty were great hosts. Wim was very happy to share his knowledge of Haarlem and many other experiences. Lovely home in a great location, very clean, quiet room overlooking the garden. Breakfast was very enjoyable. Bikes were available to explore the area, we went for a ride to the beach. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Very very good breakfast, and loan of bicycles

A warm welcome from an owner who takes great care of us. Very very good breakfast, and loan of bicycles to discover the beauty of the city and its surroundings.

For me personally I would have liked to have a restaurant or cafe by the property. I am older and travel alone by train; for younger travelers or couples the walk to restaurants would have been easy.

It gave the feeling of living in a Dutch home. Everything was spotless. The breakfast was fine. The best part was the host and hostess. Wim is an avid historian! I enjoyed learning from him!

The stairs but this is normal for stays in Haarlem. Wim actually carried our suitcase up the stairs to mitigate,

Location.

Very good accommodation and really nice hosts. Close to Haarlem train and bus stations. 20 minute walk to Haarlem city centre.

All fine

Lovely location - slightly out of the centre, but an easy walk in. The owners were extremely helpful with local tips etc. We borrowed bikes for a great day trip into tbe countryside and to the beach.

The stairs are very typical for the area but we were a bit surprised by how steep and narrow they are everywhere here and in Amsterdam.

Beautiful 3 story historic home on a Main street of Haarlem. Easy access from Haarlem Central train station. By far the best part of our stay was the hosts/homeowners, Wim and Kitty. Wim is so knowledgeable about the city of Haarlem and history of the area with a gift of hospitality. Kitty made a beautiful breakfast setting and kept the place clean. Loved our stay here.

Stayed in September 2023

Exceptionally clean. Substantial breakfast - eggs, croissants, roils, yogurt, ham and cheese. Coffee and juice.

The only caution is that there are stairs up to the room, which is made clear in the listing. Our host offered to help us with our luggage. It is a beautiful heritage property.

Wonderful hosts, beautiful town, easy to travel by train or bus to Amsterdam or surrounding areas.

Everything was great

* We arrived late, but it was not a problem * Very good tips regarding places to visit * Breakfast is something more than just a meal

Stayed in May 2023

I have a bad back, so perhaps the mattress could have been a little softer. Still enjoyed my stay very much!

Delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful hosts. Haarlem is the perfect place to stay when visiting Amsterdam because it is cleaner, quieter, safer, cheaper, and perfectly lovely in its own right!

Bathroom facilities on a separate floor to our bedroom.

Excellent location, welcoming friendly hosts,

Nothing of any consequence. It would have been a bonus to have had fresh fruit offered as an option for breakfast - but we did visit in winter!

Our room was very cosy and comfortable, with fresh flowers (from the garden) to make extra homely. Good wifi access. The breakfast is very good - as full a continental breakfast as you will find anywhere - this was taken at a large, splendid wooden table in the pleasant dining/living room. Very friendly hosts and Wim(William) is very knowledgeable about the local area and Dutch history/culture (and much more besides) - we enjoyed breakfast conversations. They kindly lent us bicycles, so we were able to explore the local area, including the nearby National Park (woodland, dunes, lakes and coast) - this was much appreciated Frans Hals B&B is located close to Haarlem train/bus station (an easy 10 minute walk) and makes for a good base. Haarlem is a delightful, elegant town, with easy access to the coast (cycle or walk) and very regular trains to Amsterdam (20 minutes journey). Staying in Haarlem is more pleasurable than being in the 'hustle and bustle' of Amsterdam. Recommend a visit to the Teyler's Museum - it is a real wonder. Also recommend a visit to Kerkenhof flower garden - it offered a floral spectacle and entertainment in the pavilions for a full day. We spent an enjoyable 6 nights here and would be very happy stay at Frans Hals B&B again - recommended.
