Metzlr House
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a quiet, well-rated 4-star base a few minutes on foot from the Teylers Museum and the Grote Kerk. Skip it if you need space to spread out, since guests often describe the rooms as small with little storage.

Metzlr House is our Best Value pick in Haarlem. It is a 4-star hotel with a guest score of 8.8, the joint highest in our sample. It suits couples and solo travellers who want a calm, central base and plan to walk to the museums.
It is less suited to families with lots of luggage or anyone staying a week, because small rooms with limited storage are the main complaint. No family rooms, gym, spa or parking are listed. If you need those, our Luxury pick lists them and was a little cheaper on the reference dates.
Location and getting around
The address is Harmenjansweg 4. Guests rate the location 9.2 and describe a quiet historical setting a short walk from the city centre and canals.
By straight-line estimates, the Teylers Museum is about 0.5 km away, around 6 minutes on foot. The Grote Kerk is about 0.6 km, roughly 8 minutes, and the Frans Hals Museum about 1.1 km, roughly 14 minutes. Actual routes may be a little longer, but all three are easy walks.
Parking is not listed, so its availability and cost are not confirmed. Ask the hotel before arriving by car.
What guests say
The 8.8 comes from 918 reviews, joint 1st of 6 eligible properties in the provider sample. That review base is smaller than our other two Haarlem picks, which each have more than 2,000, but still large enough to trust.
Guests praise two things. The setting is quiet and historical while staying close to the centre. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and attentive, with a warm welcome.
The recurring downside is room size. Rooms are called modern and neat, but often small with limited storage. Noise and renovation condition have not been assessed. Breakfast is listed as continental, vegetarian and gluten-free; whether it is in your rate is not confirmed.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €152.40 a night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, about €305 in total. That is close to the sample median of €150.15. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Haarlem prices were tightly grouped. Our Budget pick, Holiday Inn - the niu, Dairy Haarlem, was €133.40 with 8.2. Our Luxury pick, Van der Valk Hotel Haarlem, was €147.90 with the same 8.8, about €4.50 a night less than this hotel. What this one offers instead is a quieter, more central position: the Teylers Museum and Grote Kerk are less than half the walking time they are from the Van der Valk. Listed facilities are a restaurant, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Haarlem. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and price together; it is not simply the cheapest option. An 8.8 with a 9.2 location score at a median price earned it the slot.
