Bed & Breakfast Hotel Malts

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.

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.
