Hostels in Noord-Holland, Netherlands

The location is about a 10–15 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. The check-in desk is located deep inside a bar, which makes it a bit difficult to find. There is no elevator, so guests with heavy luggage should be careful, as carrying bags up the stairs can be inconvenient and unsafe

This place is right across the river, a quick free ferry ride away. Check-in and check-out are entirely self-service via touch panel. My room was in the basement, so it was quite dim. Each bed had its own fan, mini-light, and charging port. Unfortunately, my roommates reeked of ****, which was unpleasant, but I guess that's just how it is in the Netherlands.

The staff - mainly Thais, Victoria, Stella and the Haitian young lady - made this a comfortable, enjoyable stay despite feeling occasionally cramped. Their adroit skill in whipping up breakfast, tea, coffee etc. while seamlessly checking hostellers in and out are to be commended. Conveniently, the hostel is close to two tram lines and multiple dining options, cafes and even an ice cream parlor. Walking to VondelPark became a daily routine while visiting museums, sightseeing. Although I didn't get to it this time around, taking a canal cruise seems like something I would return for.

The room was very clean and tidy, with complete facilities. The toilet and shower room were separate, which was very reasonable for six people as it allowed us to stagger our usage times. The staff at the front desk and the lobby bar were lovely and enthusiastic. You could order food, coffee, and drinks, or simply ask for hot water to make your own instant noodles, coffee, or tea for free. The most unique feature of this youth hostel is the tiered lecture hall from a university located behind the central lobby. You can sit alone at a 'classroom' desk to read, work on your computer, or use your phone, or gather with a few friends. It's truly distinctive! As an old aunt who graduated from university nearly 40 years ago, being here felt like traveling back in time to my youth. ❤️

The staff are very friendly and the location is excellent, there is a bus to the airport 397, and there is a tram to the train station, supermarket and restaurant opposite.

Super fun and friendly hostel! The vibe here is amazing because they organise daily activities, which makes it really easy to meet people and have a good time. Everything is super clean and well-kept, so it feels really comfortable to stay here. It is near some student accommodation, so there is a supermarket and plenty of food options around, which is really convenient. Laundry was easy too since there are 4 washers and 4 dryers, and they were always available during my stay. If I remember right, it was about €5 for a wash and €3.50 for drying. The only downside is the location. It is around a 10 to 15 minute walk to the nearest station, then about 30 minutes on a direct train to the city centre. If you do not mind the commute, this place is totally worth it!

This was the first time I was in a hostel of this style and it was perfect for my needs - a place to sleep close to the train station, but it was very clean; the staff was very responsive and comfortable!

★★★★★ Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and always happy to help.

My capsule was good, though the weekend price was a bit high. The location is not bad, about a 20-minute walk to the train station. The receptionists were incredibly nice, and the kitchen facilities were excellent for cooking. Showers and lockers were also good. However, there was a noticeable smell of **** in the room and corridor, which was unpleasant. Also, while the toilets were spotless in the morning, they were unclean at night. Overall, a stay with some great points, but unfortunately marred by the smoke smell and inconsistent toilet cleanliness.
