Hello I'm Local

Hello, I'm Hello I'm Local. A boutique hostel with a café and my own zaal, in the centre of Haarlem and 15 minutes by train from Amsterdam Centraal. People call me different, I think that makes me, me.

I call it the zaal, but it's really a theatre: once a children's theatre, with a stage, red curtains, a beamer, sound and 50 chairs, up to 65 people. A meeting room with a stage, in other words. Book it for a meeting, workshop, training, presentation or strategy day, for half a day or a full day.

WARNING: after a day on my stage, your team won't want to go back to a meeting room without red curtains.

Coffee, tea, dune water and old-fashioned Dutch cookies are ready for you. On top of that you can order:

/ Hello Feesttafel breakfast, to share at the table

/ lunch

/ apple pie with barista coffee

/ a borrelplank on the patio

Rather eat out afterwards? I'll book you a restaurant around the corner.

Staying the night? You can sleep in my rooms. Or take the whole building: 19 unique rooms and an apartment, 84 beds in total, each room with its own shower. Two patios, a professional kitchen and the café, closed to the public. For teams and groups of 6 to 50 people, one price per night. That turns a meeting into an offsite: working, eating, laughing and sleeping together, with nobody else in the house. Dinner? You cook together in the kitchen. I buy the groceries and do the dishes.

Everything in me is local: the beer, the snacks, the art on the walls and the stories behind every room. I'm made of Dutch monumental buildings, so steep stairs and no lift. You get character in return.

You'll find me at Spaarnwouderstraat 74 in Haarlem: 15 minutes by train from Amsterdam Centraal plus a 15-minute walk, or bus 300 from Schiphol in 45 minutes. You can park in the De Appelaar and Raaks garages.
