Best hostel in town! The staff is so so friendly and sweet, it’s a joy to walk past reception everytime, David was so helpful and nice to talk to, he gave me a ton of recommendations and a room in the bottom floor as I have lots of luggage to carry, truly a blessing of a human🫶:) Jules also went above and beyond and took me to some super cool spots around the city, listened to my dating life for hours and gave me fashion advice whenever I asked♥️ and Ale was super sweet and kind, I found myself in a situation I didn’t like and she handled it greatly when I approached reception, super appreciated♥️. Also very yummy family dinners, and lots of instances and spaces to socialise

Hotel was just a 20 min walk and 3 min ferry ride (free) away from the city centre, extremely convenient! The hotel was also very clean, spacious and looked exactly like the pictures. The staff were all extremely nice and were ready to help us with any issues we faced. Highly recommended place to stay in Amsterdam!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
