From 84 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests consistently praise the prime central location, exceptionally warm and personalized staff service, beautifully preserved 17th-century architecture, comfortable rooms, and excellent breakfast. The main drawbacks are the lack of air conditioning during hot weather, steep historic stairs that challenge those with limited mobility or heavy luggage, and occasional issues with room storage, window privacy, and bathroom space.

ML is a firm favourite for many a foodie. Mark and Liane Gratama's restaurant is housed in an imposing listed building in the heart of Haarlem.

The spicy aromas hit you the moment you enter this colonial-era building dating from 1899. An abundance of wood and an exotic colour scheme make for a uniquely charming setting inside – this place calls itself a café because of its casual atmosphere. The home-style Indonesian cuisine, with a slight preference for Balinese specialities, is indulgent and packs a punch. Think aromatic martabak, rich authentic rijsttafels (including vegetarian options) with spicy rendang and intensely flavoursome sambal goreng telor… At Café Samabe, a feast awaits!

Located in the heart of Haarlem, Moustique boasts stylish interior design and a terrace overlooking the Grote Kerk, plus it's open every day of the week – what a treat! The chef showcases his experience through an appealing à la carte selection and a multi-course tasting menu. He is just as adept at jazzing up fish with pickled cucumber, horseradish and jalapeño as he is at putting his own spin on steak tartare. The kitchen team thrives on excitement and daring combinations, but never at the expense of harmony on the plate.
