    Good location. Stayed here while on a group tour. I would not recommend for anyone solo travelling who likes their space. Rooms too small. Toilet and shower room small and the shower works by pushing a button then it stops and you have to keep pushing the button for the water to restart. Nice bar area but yeah not a fan of the rooms. It was acceptable because we knew each other but I wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing a room that small with strangers when backpacking. Each to their own.

    This was my first hostel experience ever. From the moment I walked in the door the staff showed me a great time. Ok yes I was on truffles when I checked in so I was having a great time anyway. But really let’s hear it for the staff of the Hans Brinker. Everyone went above and beyond to make my first hostel experience amazing. I had a great time meeting people from all over the world in the bar and courtyard area. Happy hour probably has the best drink prices in the city and the spicy fries are cheap and delicious. Conny, Tommy, Clara, and Fluer were always friendly. The stunningly beautiful Lisa was amazing. I would give her 10 stars. It’s not a 5 star hotel but I had a 5 star experience.

    Reasonable price considering other hostels. Check-in and checkout digitally made it very easy to skip the queue in the morning. The beds however were from sqeaky steel, wich was annoying.

    Very nice hostel, at a pretty good location. The room was nice, had a fan as well. They had a happy hour at their own bars. Only stayed for 1 night but the staff was very helpful and caring. A lot of food and shopping places nearby the hostel. You get a big storage area in your room for your personal belongings as well as a room to put your luggage into. Overall, would definitely recommend for a good cheap hostel.

    Definitely a fantastic value for your money. The location is about a 12 minute walk from the heart of the red might district. There is a cozy inside bar with great deals on food (€4.50 nachos and more). Happy hour is from 17:00-18:00, then again from 00:00-01:00. They have a room where you can leave luggage, even post check out. We spent most of our time at the bar playing beer pong with some Canadians. The room itself is fairly nice but small, and the shower is quite lacklustre, but other than that, the amenities are great and it is an all around decent place to spend a night or two while you are in Amsterdam. In terms of hostels I’ve been at - this one ranks in my top 5.

    Perfect place to stay in Amsterdam with low budget. It's very central, the rooms are clean and the people are amazing. The bar and the outdoor area are perfect for meeting other people. We'll come here again!

    Nice place to stay specially for a short stay 1 or 2 nights. I liked the staff a lot they are always smiling and really helpful. The rooms are small but I like that the room has a bathroom inside. The problem is sometimes with the noise coming from the open area inside the place specially during weekends. Overall is nice

  • 3/5 Josh J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location, Rooms are cleaned daily, Keycard for entry into room, Large under the bed lockers, Prices are reasonable for a tourist city. Only negatives are: The beds are made of ultra firm foam so it's like sleeping on a brick, NO KITCHEN, You require a PCR or Antigen test to stay here (even if fully vaccinated) and as for the price it doesn't include 3€ per night tourist tax plus an additional 7% tourist tax on top of it called "city tax". Overall it's not a bad hostel and it's great for one or two nights, but for the price I'd expect it to at least have the "free breakfast" they promise on both hostelworld and their own website without having to pay an additional 4.5€ for their "free breakfast". As an example for the price it currently shows up as 17.10€ per night plus 3€ plus 7% equals a total of 21.50€ per night on weekdays or a total of 32.58€ on weekends per night without breakfast.

    The stay was good, beds are comfortable and bathroom was clean although it was a bit small. You get private bathroom in 6 sharing bedroom which was nice.Location is perfect, everything is near to the hostel.

  • 4/5 Eva P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean Hostel and great location! My friend and I stayed in the 6 female dorm and were surprised by the cleanliness of the room. Towels included. Negative aspect are the banging doors! Extremely loud during the night if people walk in and out of their rooms. It kept us up the first night as the staff was searching for an extra set covers and had to go door to door... Other than that I would definitely recommend this one, good price for value. (we didn't book with breakfast but plenty of options in the area)

    Pretty good! Nice check-in experience, and cute lounge area that was large given location. Speaking of, location was great, super close to the Rijksmuseum. The restroom (6 person room) was kind of small, and the sheets were rather dirty (lots of hair of them). There was a decently supervised luggage area, but it was not locked.

    Me and my friend had a great 2-nights stay at the Hans Brinker hostel. Location is convenient, rooms are cleaned daily, check-in and out was easy, good free wifi, friendly staff and security at the entrance. Bathroom is new but very very small. We would recommend.

  • 5/5 HardierGnome 2. 11 months ago on Google
    All the staff were lovely and very helpful. It's easy enough to find, and within walking distance of everything you need during your stay. The rooms are comfortable and secure, even if the beds do squeak a little bit. The only downside I experienced was that the towels are a little small, no bigger than a hand towel really. I'd be happy to stay here again, and may do in the future.

  • 1/5 Nathalia V. 5 months ago on Google
    I had a terrible experience at this hostel. The bathrooms were small and dirty, and there was no ventilation in the rooms. The receptionists were incredibly rude. Despite booking for 7 people and requesting to be placed together in advance, our request was refused. We kindly asked for assistance, but they didn't want to help, even though we booked more than a month in advance. The only good aspect was the location. I strongly recommend avoiding this hostel if possible.

    I was with my partner This place is like school, so many loud voices and there is no reason for it to be called Budgens as it’s closed full and not worth every euro. This was my first and last time booking this place. Don’t come here if you love your self. The bed is like prison.

    Perfect location, 15 or 20 min to each important interesting area of Amsterdam. Some of the workers on reception were really mean and didn't help us, breakfast staff was very nice to us. Breakfast is basic, the same for rooms, private rooms have beds stucked in the walls, really small space for doing anything else but sleep, no desk or chair.

    Pleasant stay in a 6 bed dorm. Great location. Unbeatable breakfast. Very much enjoyed the fruit salad with yogurt and oatmeal. They had cold cuts and cheese too. The best breakfast I've had in a hostel. Friendly/funny breakfast guy transferred his good energy so I could start my day right. Overall 5/5

  • 5/5 Maximus A. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing hostel for students! Great breakfast, daily room service and towels, good price, little to no noise. It's cozy with good infrastructure and awesome staff, might come back someday!

  • 3/5 Diane C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice location, nice bar and restaurant. The room was clean . But there is one bad point: during our three days there we had issues with the shower: the water was cold and there was almost no water flowing out of the shower . All our showers were taken drop by drop and cold. We made them know that, but had no fixing or no discount for the inconvenient...

  • 5/5 Krissy C. 4 years ago on Google
    a good stay for the price. the location was amazing! the amenities were ok- the building was older. there was a club in the basement and a bar downstairs. great people overall and a pleasant experience!

  • 4/5 Travel D. 4 years ago on Google
    The hostel is nice with a friendly atmosphere (great bar with cheap drinks and beer, different events during the week). Rooms are really basic but cozy. The breakfast is great but be sure to go eat early or you will find yourself in line. The position of the hostel is a little bit far from the center (Amsterdam central station is about 30 minutes walking).

  • 2/5 Subhomoy M. 4 years ago on Google
    It was an okay place to stay with small and compact rooms for 6 people. The bathroom was again small but manageable. Not worth the money. Getting up on the bunk beds were also difficult due to uncomfortable stairs on the bed side. WiFi had issues in the rooms, on asking the staff they said they already know and nothing can be done. Would not recommend it.

  • 2/5 Amina B. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is ok. Rooms are shared sex, which was not acknowledged to me upon checking in. Smell is weird in a common areas. In the room there is nothing to put your stuff on, no tables, no chairs. Only beds. Did not get a chance to check out their breakfast, had to leave early. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 Devashish G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to crash when travelling on a budget. Hygenic with all required amenities. Neat and clean bed sheets towel etc. Great hospitality from the staff made me feel like a part of their culture. Many tourist places in walking distance. ?

  • 5/5 Neil G. 4 years ago on Google
    Now when told we were staying here as a group I was grumpy and unimpressed !!! Like being in prison was my quote !!!! How wrong I was clean comfortable friendly staff great bar cheapest we found including a cellar bar area which was fun and the breakfast was amazing not just for choice but for quality too .Would not hesitate to say go here for a very affordable place to stay in central amsterdam.

    (Translated by Google) The hospitality is less a tip for the people who want to come from Belgium and are 16+ they should not give a pint here ... I think it is outrageous.

    (Translated by Google) For those who already know what a Hostel is))) Pros: price, location, good breakfast, normal sleeping mattresses. Cons: minimum space for one person, the absence of any other furniture in the rooms except the beds, poor ventilation. At the weekend, the hostel was full of European students, had to wait in line for breakfast)) Take a drawer lock with you so that you don’t buy on the spot. (Original) Для тех, кто уже знает, что такое Хостел))) Плюсы: цена, расположение, хороший завтрак, нормальные матрасы для сна. Минусы: минимум пространства на одного человека, отсутствие какой-либо другой мебели в комнатах кроме кроватей, плохая вентиляция. В выходные хостел был заполнен битком европейскими студентами, на завтрак пришлось постоять в очереди)) Берите с собой замочек для ящика, чтобы не покупать на месте.

  • 5/5 Cle R. 4 years ago on Google
    Meeting all low budget hostel expectations. For sure no five star hostel but you are provided with friendly staff, a central location, twin rooms, shared rooms and fabolous hostel vibes. There is a grand hall for hanging out, having lunch and party together. Last but not least the patio is just great and on fridays there is a beer pong tournament ;)

    (Translated by Google) We were staying with my girlfriend for about 5 days and we felt very satisfied with everything. The location is relatively very good. It has breakfast included which is not bad at all and friendly staff. You only need to have a kitchen for guests however it has a bar with affordable prices and really convenient happy hour. (Original) Estuvimos alojados con mi novia durante unos 5 días y nos sentimos muy conformes con todo. La ubicación es relativamente muy buena. Tiene el desayuno incluido el cual no está nada mal y el personal amable. Solo le falta tener una cocina para huéspedes sin embargo tiene un bar con precios accesibles y happy hour realmente conveniente.

    Clean rooms, helpful stuff, breakfast is typical hostel style. But there are also some nice places around. The club downstairs is not really crowded - better look for another place to party hard.

  • 5/5 Rajkumar P. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice hostel to stay in. Amsterdam all visiting places are walkable from this hostel. For ex 5min walk to Rijksmuseum. Hostel employees are cooperative. Below they have one nice bar, and bar employee are exceptionally good people.

  • 2/5 Yamini S. 3 years ago on Google
    The worst stay on our entire trip. If you’re planning to take a hostel stay in Amsterdam, this place is a big no! The rooms with 3 dorm beds (6 people accommodation) are very stuffy with no air passage at all. We asked for a small fan at the reception telling them that it’s nearly impossible to breath inside as the weather is hot and we were told “we don’t keep a 100 fans here, there are only a few which have all been taken. There’s nothing we can do to help”. Wonder on what basis they decide on the number of fans to be lent out. Bathroom isn’t functional and unhygienic. Too many unnecessary rules have been imposed. Overall, the only thing that deserves a star is the location.

  • 4/5 Yoma N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Good breakfast. Reasonable prices in the bar and happy hours. Staff is nice and chill and meme references are everywhere in hostel. But I passed a chance to use a shower, it wasn’t looking much of a clean. But bed sheets and towels were clean. Beds are comfortable, but it really hurts feet to get into upper bed. Don’t forget to take your lock for the lockers!

  • 5/5 Mojca N. 5 years ago on Google

    Stayed here back in 2016 during Koningsdag with a couple of friends. Honestly one of the best budget hostels I've stayed in. Ammenities are basic but we are okay with it. What i love about this hostel is the vibe, environment. The staff were very very friendly. And i appreciated the wonderful happy hour. It is a great place to stay and make tons of friends. One of the most memorable stays. Would definitely come back!

    First minus point is that i had to wait for half an hour to check in as they handover u number that seem to be working really slow. Beds were bit squeaky and bathroom was too small. Breakfast buffet was really good. Location of this hostel is good, you can walk around and explore lot of things. For 30 euro a night is not bad. Overall it was good stay.

    (Translated by Google) To be a Hostel zafa. There were 2 of us and the room was for ourselves. Breakfast was varied but in short supply. The bathroom was not the most beautiful (Original) Para ser un Hostel zafa. Éramos 2 y la habitación fue para nosotras solas. El desayuno era variado pero escaseaba. El baño no era de lo más hermoso

    It is good place for backpackers. Although rooms are quite small but they are clean and have toilet inside. If you are group of 6 or 8 friends, you will have your own room. And dinning area is quite big and nice and they also have sitting arrangements outside passing through dinning area to smoke cigarette or take sun light.

    Nice hostel! Not far from a city center, in a walking distance. Good value for this money. Breakfast is €5.50. They provide towel and bed linens. No washer.

    STAY AWAY BEDBUGS ALERT!!!! We knew it was a budget hostel but the place is sooooo infested with BEDBUGS it’s disgusting and top of that the breakfast is terrible and the windows can open more then 2cm and being 6 people in a room that’s not very fun. Terrible truly a terrible hostel

    Low cost place in middle of the city. Space was a bit congested but environment was excellent.

    It is a really nice hostel located in quiet a busy neighborhood. It’s clean and the stuff are friendly

  • 5/5 Resty T. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nicely located, not so far from the city center and near the popular sites. And you can't beat the price because it's really cheap for Amsterdam standards and the buffet is really worth it. I had a great time.

  • 5/5 Forest C. 2 years ago on Google
    I was here with my 12 friends on 40 birthday one of them. This od very cool hostel at Amsterdam. Good price, clear room, good breakfast. I recommend Brinker Hostel. 🤩🤩🤩

  • 4/5 Patrícia Katricskó (. 2 years ago on Google
    This hostel was the perfect choice for a group of 5 friends. Very good location and breakfast included. The room is quite small and not very comfortable, but that was only a problem because from the second day of our stay everything closed at 7.

  • 5/5 Jessica W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great hostel for the price, super close to everything in the city, reception were helpful and friendly, bar reasonably priced and rooms kept nice and clean daily, can be noisy dependant on other guests, would recommend earplugs like with all hostels

  • 5/5 Adam 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice hostel. Very clean and staff are all very friendly

  • 4/5 Hareem A. 2 years ago on Google
    Better place to stay for short periods. People are nice and you can store luggage for free. Good breakfast and card payments accepted.

  • 5/5 Alexis B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great value for money. Very friendly and helpful staff and a great breakfast setup. Would recommend for those on a budget.

  • 2/5 Zach C. 2 years ago on Google
    The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfast and reception staff helpful. I left my bluetooth headphones in the room when I checked out by accident, I returned 3 hours later and re-checked the room, which had been fully cleaned, my headphones were missing and never to be seen again... my bag and rest of the belongings were left in baggage storage during that 3 hours so they potentially went missing there aswel. Maybe better security or honesty is required...

  • 5/5 Giorgia M. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed for a night and we were really impressed about how clean the room was! The room was essential and adequate for the price. The toilet in the six bedroom room was a bit small but clean as well, perfect for a short stay. The location is optimal and you can reach mostly every place of interest. The reception was super helpful and friendly and they even accommodate our necessity to have a room just for the afternoon. We will surely be back!

  • 5/5 Ashleigh Makes A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hostel, more affordable than others in the area, comfy beds with their own locker cages and ensuites in each room. Has a bar downstairs and is also the place to get breakfast at the hostel if you so desire. The location is perfect as everything is not too far a walk away, right near the museums and not on top or next to any club so when you do eventually come to rest it's nice and quiet.

  • 5/5 Amy 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms are very simple, you get what you pay for. Cheap costs. You get a body towel and toilet roll every day so make sure to buy other additional hygiene products yourself. They come with clean bed blankets and a drawer to store your bags with an added pad lock. The bar is simple, colourful and doesnt get too loud. The location was great and easily found because of the giant sign outside.

  • 3/5 J H. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are too small - that’s ok, however, 6 people inside and a window that barely opens - It’s not even summer yet and almost unbearable to stay inside the room (also stinks a lot because it’s not ventilated, need to be fixed asap). Common area of the hostel is cool but who is staying at the 1st floor like me has to deal with too much noise all day/night. Maybe because Amsterdam is a hype now and everything is expensive, they are too, but, I have paid less in other countries and with much more comfort.

  • 4/5 Proteeti P. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is a bit far away from the tourist attractions as well as from the Amsterdam Centraal. If it's rainy weather and you just arrived in Amsterdam, it will be a long walk to reach there. The rooms and toilet facilities are good. But they didn't give time while checking out. Usually in other hostels in have stayed are very flexible regarding checking out timing.

  • 4/5 Paulina R. 1 year ago on Google
    We rented a six-bed room with my friends. We were 5 people and we had private room (no stranger was assigned to the room). It was very clean, the room was cleaned every day, towels were changed every day. For people who come to Amsterdam to sightsee, but only want to sleep in a hostel - this is the perfect place. There was not a lot of space in the room, but enough. Good rental prace. Private bathroom in the room. Bar in the same building on the ground floor where you can sit. Even though we arrived earlier, it was not a problem to leave our luggage. Similarly, when we had to check out, but we still had a lot of time to flight - we could leave our luggage in the generally accessible luggage room located in the hostel. It is also possible to buy breakfast at the facility (5€). Superb location - close to everything, but in a pleasant neighborhood and at an appropriate distance from the hustle and bustle of the city. We felt safe. The only negative in my opinion is the noise and slamming doors in the corridor. If you take earplugs with you - no problem ;)

  • 4/5 Hossein S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, helpful and polite staff. They gave me all the information I needed and everything was perfect for the one night I stood there. Under the beds you have a storage where you can put two carry ons and lock it (5€ for a padlock from reception). Towels and bedsheets are provided. Had a nice vibe, a bar, nice backyard with tables and benches to sit and enjoy fresh air or grab a drink. The rooms were clean and they have daily cleaning. The only two cons were: the size of room was too small for 3 bunk beds! It was suitable for max 4 people. also internet speed in room 15 (maybe for some other rooms as well) was too slow.

  • 3/5 Luiz C. 1 year ago on Google
    Breakfast is not so good (maybe I was unlucky). Bunk beds are not solid, they make a lot of noise and move a lot. Bathrooms have no ventilation and the rooms have no air conditioning, it's a nightmare to stay there during the summer, the windows open just a few centimeters and it gets very very hot. Service is great, the staff is very pleasant and helpful. Also, the bar is very good with great prices during happy hour!

  • 1/5 kate s. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place if you like to avoid sleeping at all costs, here you won’t have a chance to get a decent rest. In the middle of the night at around 2 am I went to the reception to see what’s up and why the music is still on and so loud. Turned out, one of the managers was leaving the job, and the party mood was on. Well, congratulations, the leaving manager, you ruined our night at the cost of 80 euros per person for one bed in a tiny room where we could not sleep all night, and please don’t do this at your new job. Zero respect for the guests and the neighbourhood noise-pollution-wise. Strongly advise to avoid this place if you are here for relaxing at night

  • 5/5 Anirudh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely clean and tidy rooms even in the 8 bed dormitory. Polite reception and clear instructions. The initial email with your room code and bed details was slow to receive but you can easily spend time in the common area charging your devices or just sip on some beer downstairs.

  • 5/5 Giovanny E. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed on May 11-13. Wide rooms and comfy beds, helpful staff, and the chance to reach representative places nearby. They also offer bike renting (despite we didn't take it, we preferred to walk). Clean restrooms, and you can also store your luggage/bags in their bag room for free in case you check-in / check-out earlier/later than their stated time so you can spend that time outside. There's a bar as well and it seems to be very funny (we didn't spend time on it either hahaha). Absolutely recommended!

  • 5/5 Alex N. 1 year ago on Google
    About 30-35 euros per night for 1 person (6 bed room). The room was nice and there is sufficient space for storage. If there is something to improve is to have bigger towels for showering. Nice check-in and check-out experience.👍👍👍

  • 4/5 Harry W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beds and pillows were much more comfortable than most other hostels: beds were soft / memory foam-y and pillows were nice and fluffy. Good water pressure and temperature in the shower. Breakfast and bar are solid. Yes it’s noisy even late into the night, but what hostel isn’t.

  • 4/5 Samara E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very social, great location and rooms are a decent size. Very affordable. Lockers and towels provided. Only a couple of small issues, no shelves by the bunks or in the shower and no curtains on the beds. Other than that, my stay was very happy here and I would stay again.

  • 4/5 Arfa Amyy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall score - 8/10 We stayed for 3 nights in a 4 bed room. As there was 4 of us it was private just for us. I found the room and beds fine, the bathroom was also ok but a little small. Generally it's not a very noisy hostel (we were on 3rd floor) and the location is absolutely fantastic. Only two things I think could've been better.. 1. Having a hair dryer in the bathroom (I couldn't wash my hair for the entire stay) 2. We had two separate people come to our room between 9:40 and 10am during check out morning. I understand you need to clean for the next people, but walking into a room when people are clearly in there (my friend was still getting changed) is incredibly inappropriate and over stepping boundaries. The lady did not need to enter the room (it was 9:41) and this disappointed me at the end of a great stay Will be back again, but please ask staff not to enter the room if people are in there! Thanks !

  • 4/5 Y. L. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed in a private room for two nights. Though the room is at the corner, the doors are loud when they close, making it hard to sleep. Residents sleep very late and can talk very loudly, but this might be typical in hostels. The staff is very helpful. Room is very clean. Breakfast great! Overall I would recommend this one if you are young or don’t mind the door noise.

  • 4/5 Alexandre F. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently stayed at the Hans Brinker Budget Hostel and was very pleased with my experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. The location was also convenient for exploring the city. I would definitely recommend this budget hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay.

  • 5/5 Gem 11 months ago on Google
    You get what you pay for, no complaints! Clean rooms, nothing fancy. Clean bathrooms, again nothing fancy. Breakfast did the job and is worth the money, considering prices in relation to the location of the hostel. A little loud at night, but I knew this and brought ear plugs so I had a great nights sleep. Great location. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Erica Snow M. 10 months ago on Google
    Anyone who says anything other than good things about this place is either ignorant or literally doesn’t understand the concept of a hostel. This place has clean sheets, comfy beds, a bar, breakfast for a fair price and the location cannot be beat. It’s quiet at night and there’s everything you need in the city for a few nights. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, there’s security at night and reasonable rules to keep it respectable. Will def recommend, will return and would even consider a longer stay if there were a need. For the location and price this is a hidden gem!

  • 5/5 izgi 10 months ago on Google
    To be honest i love to travel so ive only been to my room for sleeping but it was pretty good. Comparatively cheaper than other places and actually really good for big groups. We were 6 people and they gave us one room with 6 beds, it was really good that only my friends were there and no one else. And i really loved the common room. The music was good and the atmosphere was good. And you can also play beer pong if u ask them for cups in the common room. It was pretty nice.

  • 4/5 Bogdan M. 4 months ago on Google
    Honest and cheap hostel, good for sleeping. Some rooms don't have lockers like shown in the pictures, just a drawer under the bed so secure storage is almost nonexistent (update: you can buy locks from them or bring your own, but this wasn't advertised before coming).

  • 4/5 ali 7 months ago on Google
    Me and my friends had a nice time in this hostel. We waited to be checked-in in the dining area and it’s a lovely colorful place with music and a general friendly atmosphere. The room where we stayed and the bathrooms were very clean and hygienic. We only spent one night here, but it was good. The only thing that bothered us was the fact that you could smell people smoking cigarettes outside even if the windows were closed. Apart from that we recommend this hostel, especially for the position, which is central and you can walk around without spending money for public transports.

  • 5/5 Maria-Aliki S. 5 months ago on Google
    I did not have the chance to stay in the hostel, due to unforeseen circumstances the day of my check in. However, the staff was immensely helpful, and managed to get me out of a difficult situation, without anything in return. Therefore, highly recommended if you are interested in dealing with decent people. Moreover, they did everything with a smile on their faces, and comforted me.

  • 1/5 Jose C. 6 months ago on Google
    Would NOT recommend this Hostel, avoid it if possible. Everything was OK (clean Hostel, beds are comfortable, etc.) however there was no ventilation at all in the rooms and the heat was unbearable. It was 10°C degrees outside in the street and probably +30°C inside the rooms. I could not sleep at all, and everything that the hostel provided was a small fan. The windows cannot even be opened, they seem to be locked to prevent people from smoking(?). Avoid this Hostel if possible, at least during the summer.

  • 2/5 Sam E. 2 months ago on Google New
    Was an individual in a room with a group of 5 friends who did not sleep (or let me sleep) till 5am. Why was I, an individual traveller, placed in a room with a full group? Why not charge them for the entire room for themselves and let me stay somewhere where im not the minority and would actually have a say in things in the room? Also, there were no bed sheets and a stain on the mattress. Aside from that, staff was (mostly) friendly, though the blonde girl at the morning shift was borderline rude and unwelcoming when checking out.. fix your stuff hans brinker or else I can’t recommend

    my stay was for a night and it was 20€ in a 6 person room, and i got everything i wanted (security, a comfortable place to sleep, proximity to museums) for that price :). I even had my morning coffee and breakfast at the cafe inside the hostel. remember it is a budget hostel, don’t expect a 5 star hotel performance
