About Holland Hostels and facilities

Hello!
I'd like to visit Holland with my family, hosting in Stayokay hostels.
But in the book "Guide du routard", dtd 2002, it says that Haarlem hostel's shower are dirty .
So, Could somebody tell me his experiences with Holland Stayokays?
Does somebody know Haarlem hostel? It seems that it has been re-acconditionated after 2002. In fact I need to know if each room -particularly family room - has a full bathroom (shower+W.C+lavatory).
Thanks

I don't know Haarlem hostel's.

Last year I've visited Amsterdam. We stayed in Vondelpark (Stayok) for two days. It was a very good hostel. We had two beds in a two-bed room or a four bed room for 35 € per bed and night. We had a shower + W.C.

Two days later we stayed in a budget hostel. It was much worser.

We took a family trip in Holland last summer and stayed in Amsterdamm Vondelpark and Den Haage hostels. Both were nice, friendly and finely managed: a pleasant experience, either in large or family rooms.

In Haarlem, about 15 families offer bed and breakfast to cycling tourists. Prices are really low, but conditions are strict : touring by bike, booking in advance and being a member of the Dutch non-profit organisation 'Vrienden op de Fiets' (= Friends on the Bike).

Have a nice cycling trip,

Ask the VVV (tourist offices) for places to stay. The know what is around in there town.
