Reviews of Hello I'm Local - Boutique Hostel

I will never stay here again.. The shared kitchen is gross, and they threw out my food even though i labelled the front and back. It is unsafe at night, all the doors are closed downstairs and lights are off with no staff present for security. I was unwell and went downstairs a couple times, one man changed his direction to follow me very closely to the kitchen, asked if I was travelling alone (I was not) then waited upstairs till I got there to see what room I was in. I had no staff to report that to or to ask for help at the time. I will not recommend this place to any woman. When I told the hostel, the said they leave a bell on the front desk at night. But the front desk is behind a closed door with all the lights out.

Central but quiet location. Beds are comfortable. I love the day room and garden area.

The ladder was painful to go up to ☹️

Super friendly staff, clean and stylish interior, they let me put my bike in their patio

The only thing I would suggest is to get curtains for each bed

Perfect location,loved the interior design and really appreciated the friendly staff!

The staff was super helpful! Loved my stay

Great beds and location. Nice hangout rooms and staff.

The wifi didn't work with the given password

Very good! Well located, nice decoration

Not the fault of the hostel but the room with toilets and bathroom were terribly unclean (shared with other people) and the alarm when opening doors from the inside is annoying

An excellent hostel located central to Haarlem. This was my second stay in about 12 months and I will most certainly return! The whole vibe here is incredible. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Great value for money!

Good vibes and confortable/ clean bed

It was absolutely amazing. The staff even gave me a free room upgrade (from mixed dorm - ladies doorm). There is also a place to safely store your bike. The location is perfect as everything you need is in walking distance. I absolutely loved it and would return again.

The hostel is beautiful, the staff are so lovely too. Location is excellent - in a quiet spot but near everything you need. Facilities were fantastic. Loved everything about my stay here and wished I could have stayed longer.

This is very minor but the ladders are a little uncomfortable to climb as the rings are so narrow.

Great location - it’s super central but it’s in a quiet street so you won’t hear any of that noise from the Main Street. The staff is very helpful and friendly as well.

We only had an issue with the mosquitos. There is no way to prevent them from entering through the balcony whenever the door is open. It wouldn’t be such a big issue if there weren’t so many. Me and my friend literally woke up the first morning with faces as if covered by chicken pox. We would strongly advise you to think of some prevention against that.

This is an excellent hostel in virtually ever respect.

There could be more standard power outlets in the dormitory and curtains on the bunks would be a good idea.

Lovely hostel with chilled vibes. Excellent location. Kept clean with comfy bedding. I'd stay again. No question.

The self kitchen was a little small for the size of the hostel. Though this is a minor gripe.

Calm neighbourhood, good vibe in the hostel

The bunk beds don’t have curtains

For a hostel, it is good

Nothing, but if you are wondering if you should stay in hostel or not, you probably shouldn't. The place was great, for a hostel, but the snoring and lack of privacy is a problem.

I liked the overall look of the Hostel, the interior was beautifully designed and practical.

There was practically no parking for bikes.

The location was great! Near enough to the station and close to the sightseeing spots. The staff were friendly.

They could’ve provided slippers. The floors get pretty gross. They should also replace the trash cans in the room more or get a bigger one.

Clean and comfortable. The personnel acted in a good manner and were always smiling.

There were no wall sockets for each bed.
