Bed & Breakfast Hotel Malts

This is the third time we have stayed at Hotel Malts. Henk and Annamarie are wonderful inn keepers, professional but so friendly. It is like visiting old friends. The facility is clean and comfortable. The breadfasts are wonderful. We loved chatting with the other guests at breakfast. This is our go to place in Haarlem.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about this bed-and-breakfast. The owners, Annemarie and Henk, are so very friendly, and really make you feel at home. We arrived very late one evening, but instructions on how to enter, were very clear. They communicated wonderfully with us, and made sure we knew where to go upon arrival. When we got to our room, everything was clean, and as expected. The next morning, when we went down for breakfast, we were greeted by name. Henk took the time to talk with me and my wife at breakfast, going over the area, and asked us if we had plans. He made recommendations, and just shared about the area. It was a great introduction that likely would’ve happened the night before! The breakfast itself is wonderful. Very European. Very simple, very tasty. Selection of breads, meats, cheeses, and other Dutch delicacies. Plenty of coffee, tea, and freshly squeezed orange juice. The breakfast room itself is so charming. It feels like something out of an old movie. He has nice music playing in the background, nicely decorated, small tables, everywhere. They keep it open in the evening so you can hang out, or grab some fruit, coffee, or a drink. They even have a “honesty bar“, or you can grab a wine, beer, or soda if you don’t feel like walking around outside. You just leave money there or bill it to your room. It’s just a nice little touch. They also have little cookies you can snack on in the evening. We were able to use the bikes that they had for rent, and that was wonderful for getting around the local area. Easy ride to the beach as well as the national park. The host went out of their way to make sure that we knew where we were going, and how to use the bike and locks. We have nothing bad to say about this family, and they wonderfully run business. As we were leaving early in the morning, on the day of departure, they even took the time to make us to go breakfast sandwiches, and juice. That was not needed, but very much appreciated. They do have some steps that you will have to encounter, just be aware. We are young and healthy, so I had no issues with that at all. They will gladly help with your luggage if you need some help going up the steps. The location could not be better. It is a 10 minute walk to the train station, 10 minute walk to the windmill, 2 to 3 minute minute walk to the town Square, everything is very close by.

Every positive recommendation wee read about Hotel Malts we found to be true. The hosts are true professionals, and always available to answer questions, help with luggage, give advice, etc. The breakfasts we were served looked exactly like the one pictured on their web page, and it was always served with a smile. Our room was comfortable, spotless, quiet, and centrally located so as to provide a rest during days of touring Haarlem. Our experience could NOT have been better.

Perfect in every way. Stayed 3 nights and could not fault anything. As previous reviews say Henk and Annemarie are the best hosts. Breakfast is delicious with so much choice. Tea and coffee available at any time and also have an honesty fridge with drinks and snacks. Perfect position right in the centre of Haarlem and restaurants all around. Room was spotless and very spacious we booked the large double room. Alot of stairs so might be an issue if you have mobility problems. They are very happy to share local knowledge and help you plan your day with great suggestions. We got the bus no 300 from the airport to bus stop Centrum/Verwulft in Haarlem and the hotel is only a 5 min or so walk away. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

We stayed at Hotel Malts in April and loved everything about it. Cleanliness, comfortable beds, modern bathroom, wonderful breakfast, location, Henk & Annemarie and their tips about the area. All of the positive reviews from others are spot on. Haarlem is a beautiful city to explore and a perfect home base for traveling to Amsterdam, the Keukenoff (there's a convenient express bus from Haarlem during the tulip season), and other towns. We went to four of the restaurants recommended on the Hotel Malts website and thoroughly enjoyed each one. I highly recommend Hotel Malts.

The hosts are so friendly and helpful and can't say enough. They will take the time to point our sights and events. A very good breakfast is served in the morning and they cater to your needs. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, just about 3 blocks from the main square and Sint Bavo church. Haarlem is a wonderful town, and we prefer it over the larger and more congested Amsterdam. It is only about 20 minutes or so by train, so you can stay in Haarlem and go to Amsterdam for the day and back. So many good restaurants in Haarlem to chose from, and the host Henk will make suggestions.
