The mini-fridge was dirty and didnt cool at all. Also the shower is uncomfortable if you dont want to get you hair wet, this is horrible for people with curly hair. Really missed a handheld shower therefor. Also the cafe staff is out and about early, so sleeping a bit late is not really an option, since it is an old building, so sound travels freely.

The location is amazing, the trust they have in their guests as well, as they give the key to the café to get in after hours. The bed was comfortabel, the tea and coffee station nice.

This quirky accommodation above the cafe was just what we needed at the end of our trip. From the spiral stairwell to the comfortable room, it was lovely. A great breakfast is available at the cafe also.

The street noise is minimal but in evenings, noticable at evening/late night. A larger fan might help with producing "white" noise to circulate air when days are warm and the windows are open. Everything else was splendid!

Location is excellent and kitchenette was stocked with coffee and tea; ample pots, dishes, and silverservice to make simple food. Staff was outstanding and very helpful when we interacted before and during our stay. You will climb stairs with this stay. Toast cafe below offers delicious and fantastic breakfast and lunch food options. Cozy!

It wasn't a big deal for us but the room is up some quite narrow and steep stairs. Also the toilet is very small which might be an issue for some people. The location does mean there's potential for noise from the pedestrian street outside. We avoided the weekend so it wasn't too bad, just a few people walking past being a bit loud after an evening out. Earplugs are provided. The location isn't directly near to any late bars or restaurants though which helps.

The location is really good, near to loads of places to eat and drink. The attached "Toast" café downstairs serves excellent food and they do a great flat white. Everyone on the café team were really helpful and friendly right from the moment we arrived. They were happy to store our bags while we explored the area before our official check-in time.

It can get a bit noisy but it was within expectation. The bathroom is a bit cramped and needs a better door. For those who mind brightness in the morning bring a sleep mask.

The host was very friendly and welcoming. We got a free bottle of wine on arrival. The place is cute and well decorated. Clean as well. Location is great. Haven't tried the food sadly, but it looks and smells great!

No air conditioning so a larger fan would have been helpful as it was hot!

Very close to the heart of town. It had a good kitchenette including a coffee machine!

Would have liked a fan or better ventilation through the back, but it was very warm during the stay. I don't think air-conditioning is necessary. Perhaps one brighter light or lamp in the room. Not everyone is onscreen all the time.

Great location, friendly staff, you can self-cater to a point but breakfast and daytime food is just downstairs so why bother? I liked the stained glass window behind the bed, very colourful.

Room was very hot. We were told that a heater in the room was also a fan. It wasn't. As our room was on the top floor it really needed a good fan. The owner purchased a fan for our second night which helped a lot.

Right near the town centre.

Tight staircase

Very central location on a lovely street near the canal. Extremely helpful staff, lovely airy room full of character, large comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast downstairs in the cafe. We were able to leave our luggage on the last day and return for it later.

No parking. Too small sink. Too small fridge.

It was a nice atmosphere. Very private.

Nothing

It was fun being over a coffee shop, the staff were all amazing and so helpful. The room came with a bottle of wine and a nice set of chairs overlooking the street.

The toilet seemed a bit wobbly but operated well.

Wonderful room and location. Host warm and welcoming. The shower was large and lovely.

Like other reviewers said, the toilet kinda tips, but just be a bit careful when using it. The staircase is also kind of narrow (narrower than other spots we stayed at in Europe) - not a huge issue but just made bringing up our luggage a bit challenging - but just something you should know if you are staying there to keep the luggage light! They did help us bring it up, so that was great! I just would've packed differently if I knew how narrow the staircase was.

I loved that it was on top of their super cute restaurant. To me it added a cute little experience and making the location so central! The host was so great and friendly and they were quick to answer any questions we had. The room itself is so charming - perfect for a couple and a few nights. It was exactly what we needed for our overnight stay in Harleem. Thank you for welcoming us and also, the pup is a great adorable host!

Nothing really. Toilet feels.like it's going to tip forwards....but didn't! Can smell the drains in the shower room but plenty hot water, so not a problem

Loved the room, good value, comfortable bed, central, nice decor, thankyou for leaving bottle wine. Sadly didn't have time to try the breakfasts.

Small downside is that the storeroom for the cafe is in the next room to the Orange room so you hear the staff going to and from the room from an early hour of the morning. It’s not a problem if you are an early riser though and earplugs are provided to combat that.

The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful town of Haarlem. The bed was very comfortable and the decor of the Orange room is beautifully done. The food at Toast is lovely as were all the staff.

The bathroom and sink so small, and was very loud on Saturday but it was kings day.

Bed was comfortable good location.

When we booked the accommodation it was clearly indicated as a B&B. When we arrived we were told that breakfast was not included in the price but available to he purchased in the restaurant downstairs. I think the booking information should clearly indicate that breakfast is not included in the cost of the room. I see on Booking.com that it is listed as "Toast by night" now. As noted, it was listed as Toast B&B when we booked.

The location was excellent

There was an unpleasant smell from the drain in the top room that needs attention.

Great location in a cute old building in the old town. The cafe downstairs is excellent.

The toilet in the room is in a very small closet a couple feet from the bed which could be uncomfortable for some. There is some foot traffic right outside the door fairly often, though this may only be an issue for people wanting a lot of privacy.

A very nice building in the center of beautiful Haarlem. Owners Sabine and Wouter were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The cafe downstairs is very cozy and the food is delicious. There was a bottle of wine included in the room which was nice!

Central location in Haarlem. Closeby to nearby attractions and restaurants. Very comfy bed. Can't complain about a free upgrade as well!

No lock on bathroom door and door kept opening, lighting a little difficult to operate. Everything else was brilliant!

Room was lovely and staff were brilliant. Could not have been more helpful. Fantastic central location and a lovely city.

This is a wonderful quirky site in a great location. The staff were wonderful and gave us a great briefing. Highly recommended.

The shower could do with de-limescaling, and the hand held shower head was removed which was a shame. The toilet in the orange room wobbled when you sit on it which is slightly disconcerting!

Staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to our timings, allowing us to check in early. The room was clean and comfortable with a fan, heater, kettle, Nespresso, crockery, and a complimentary bottle of wine!
