I just LOVE Hema. As an American shopping in the Netherlands, I found absolutely nothing to…read morecomplain about at Hema (& was at 3 of them). The store was well lit, well organized, user friendly & carries some of the MOST BASIC items for women. (for men too I guess but I didn't really look at the men's dept.) Cotton & lycra blend tops----long sleeve, tank, short sleeve, hip length, & mid thigh---in all colors, neutrals, cerulean blue & black-- about $12-$14. Who doesn't need these? Fold up "down jacket" that was $39, (I got it on a special for $15). Faux leather tote, $29. Well fitting bras, $13. I found several pair of earrings on special $1.00. Faux leather passport/wallet-$12. I must add that everything has been washed & is of superior quality & hasn't shrunk. The tote & wallet are in still perfect condition, after months of use. ($$'s rounded off from euros) Kids clothes were amazingly priced compared to the States & if I had a larger suitcase I would have bought for my grand-daughter. Styles that were so much nicer & well made for a fraction of the cost at the Gap or Old Navy. Oh & check out their make-up dept. Super good quality, great selection & all for cheap prices. I will be back!!

A decent Hema. It is not one of the biggest I've ever seen but it is also not one of the smallest…read more They have a good selection however they are missing some food items that they have at the really big stores.

Normally I would probably rate this place a 3 accept for the fact of the rooftop terrace that they…read morehave were you can eat lunch and look over the entire city of Haarlem (and beyond). Well worth it if you are in the area and are hungry. The food there is just standard La Place food but the view is what makes it great. The store itself is pretty big and I would say offers a cheap to mid price range worth of merchandize. Sometimes you can find good deals depending on when you go.

Store is filing for bankruptcy so review probably shouldn't matter but still would like to mention…read morethe rudeness of customer service. My husband bought me a coat for Christmas that didn't fit and they told him if I needed to I can take it back for store credit. I browsed and found nothing so I decided to get house stuff instead. Brought it to customer service and was told I could only get store credit for the brand name of the coat that was bought. I seriously never heard of such a thing but fine. I went back and just picked a few things and the one of the pants I bought were incorrectly marked so it was more than my credit. I said well just take them off and give me the remaining in store credit. She said she couldn't do that but still took the pants off leaving the store with a gain of 11 euros. I said I'm not giving you the 11 euros so please put the pants back on and I'll pay the increase. She took my money and not so nicely gave me me my change and walked away.

Some products stay the same while others come and go, so you never really know what to expect when going in. I usually come out with a bunch of random things that I payed very little for.

HEMA: Home goods, underwear, some cheap clothing, and of course the famous HEMA sausage, which…read moreisn't half as good as Unox sausage. If you love Jip en Janneke, you'll like the HEMA, because they seem to have some sort of exclusive brand deal that allows them to put Jip en Janneke on everything. Other than that, the HEMA is nothing special, I rarely go in here. This is a particularly bad Hema though, because it doesn't have the usual cafe with hot sausages, those awesome hot dogs, hot chocolate, etc. The only sausages you can get here are just lying in a basket, room temperature, by the cash register. Not very appealing :/
