Hostels in Hoofddorp

Perfection! I am not a crowds person, I wanted to visit Netherlands, but didn't fancy staying in busy Amesterdam. I was super happy to find Hello I'm Local in Haarlem! Haarlem for me is the perfect-sized city, you can get your way around it easily, it has all the commerce, the local food, it is not overly touristy and you can still feel the genuine local atmosphere! People don't feel the pressure of over tourism and they are happy to help you, talk to you :) The hostel is really easily accessible from the airport (less than an hour between a direct airport-Haarlem centre bus and a short 10-15min walk). Also equally accessible to Amesterdam (15min walk to train station + 35min train journey to AMS Central). My goal with my visit was to go to the Keunkeuhof (15min walk+45min direct bus) Back to the hostel: it is a lovely building nested in the historical area, it has a coffee/restaurant lounge, also seating areas/tables for you to read/eat/work and kitchen facilities for you to use (fully equiped and with fridge access). I would surely pop by the City Beach the Oerkap (short walking distance & great vibe to chill on a sunny sunset!) I stayed in a female-dorm. It was of rare quality! Mattress, pillow and duvet were luxurious for a hostel! The crowd staying at the dorm was super friendly and chatty, it was great stay! The room is well soundproof, the area is really quiet in the evening, so I had a marvellous sleep every night! The beds have super spacious area underneath to put your belongings, you can either bring your locker or request one at reception. The special touch for me is that my bed was done when I arrived (yes, I was not asked to put duvet covers and pillow cases) and there was a lovely reference to which bed was mine with my name (super cute touch, thank you!) The staff was super friendly and helpful! The atmosphere of the place was incredible! Thank you to the team! Really loved it!

Loved my time here — super clean rooms, helpful staff, and a fun atmosphere. Great location and easy to meet other travelers. Would definitely stay again!

Ideal place if you want to find new friends

Hotel was just a 20 min walk and 3 min ferry ride (free) away from the city centre, extremely convenient! The hotel was also very clean, spacious and looked exactly like the pictures. The staff were all extremely nice and were ready to help us with any issues we faced. Highly recommended place to stay in Amsterdam!

All, especially staff was very kind

The beds are comfortable. It's clean. I have been treated gently. For sure, if I will go back to Amsterdam I will book with them.

The 2 girls in reception very excellent and service minded .. location was good and for the cube was actually comfortable and I slept well.. good for an overnight stay as I did

It is in an ideal location, with all the important points nearby. The rooms, toilets, and showers are very clean and tidy. The staff is extremely nice and friendly.

Location was accessible, close to metro and tram. Facilities were good. Staff were friendly (and the cat).

Hospitality and the staff friendliness
