Hello I'm Local

Absolutely 💯 great experience, rooms clean the place it big and relaxing environment. The check is person is amazing remembers everyone name with so many people coming and going its amazing, you dont feel crowed. Best hostel in 30 countries in have stayed in.

I had a wonderful stay at Hello, I'm local in Haarlem! The common areas were beautiful and comfortable, and the room was a perfect place to unwind at night. the location was walkable and quiet without leaving me feeling like I'm disconnected from the city. The hosts were also absolutely lovely, I really hope to return soon!

This hostel was a great first stop on our trip. Everyone working was friendly and there was a nice zen atmosphere. The location was right by the river and it was easy to walk everywhere. I felt like after only 2 nights we had a good idea of our way around. The rooms were clean and cute and I loved the charm of the building. I definitely recommend booking here!

I had a really awesome stay here. I came to Haarlem by chance as I couldn’t drive into Amsterdam due to the emission zone. The staff were very kind to me - they shared some places to see in town and the hostel is located in a really good place to explore from. I did laundry for 10€ a bag, it’s a pretty generously sized bag, I highly recommend it if you need it. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are fresh. The only caution I would give someone is to try to get a bottom bunk. The top bunks get a bit too warm with everyone’s breath at night.

Christine was awesome! So helpful and kind, and had answers to all our questions. The facility was clean, convenient with an in-house cafe, and comfortable public spaces. There was a shower and sink in the room and the toilet was right across the hall.

Super friendly people in an amazing Location and comfortable spaces to chill out and sleep. All for a good price. By far the best hostel I stayed at in my whole weeklong trip to North Holland. Also, the city of Haarlem helped. What a charming and interesting place full of things to see and do. Wayyy different from the Harlem, NY which I’m more accustomed to.

Overall really great! The location is awesome, in a really pretty place that's about 15m of walk from the station. Haarlem is really nice and well connected to the cities around. The dormitory is quite calm, the staff is really nice and the common areas are really cozy and cool. The main (few) downsides of the place are in my opinion the rooms, especially the lack of curtains around the beds, the shower area which is quite tiny and - at least for us/with our dorm mates - which floor is always full of water/with a very wet rag on the floor, and an alarm for the doors that rings sometimes when we use our key to the room (not very loud in the sleeping room, it's more so startling for those opening the door). But yeah, otherwise given the prices in the area we really get our money's worth, our stay was really nice!

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Harlem is quiet and beautiful, no more than 20 mins from Amsterdam by train, very handy. The hostel is clean, comfortable and it looks really pleasant. The patio is lovely, the vibe is friendly and chilled and the staff is helpful and kind. The room and bed was comfortable. Toilets are a big high for me (but that's a thing in the Netherlands, people are very tall), the only thing I'd change is making the toilet and shower room lighter, the black curtains look very aesthetic but it's a bit dark when you shower. However that's just a detail, my stay was amazing. There's also a café inside the hostel which adds some extra value to it. They also included a towel, soap, shampoo and conditioner. There were solo travellers, groups of friends and even families with children. Highly recommended if you go to Amsterdam :)
