Hostelworld says:
Amsterdam Hostel Cosmos is in the heart of Amsterdam near Centraal Station, making it ideal for those coming by train from Schipol Airport. Hostelworld guests say this 'surprisingly quiet' hostel is 'the perfect starting point if you want to explore Amsterdam', being within walking distance of most major sights in the city. This hostel is small and cosy, with lockers, 24hr reception and 'a lot of character'. We like that the hostel has its own cat, Simba.
Property Information:
Thank you for choosing Hostel Cosmos Amsterdam!
Our hostel is located in the most central area of Amsterdam, just four minutes' walk from Centraal Station.
All you need is just minutes away and the city's hotspots are all walkable from here. Save money since you don't need to pay for transportation when you stay with us!
Hostel Cosmos Amsterdam is a cool little youth hostel. The friendly atmosphere and generous hospitality have drawn guests back to our hostel over and over again.

We choose to have a more laid-back and personal atmosphere and therefore we don't accept multiple group bookings of six people or more. We also don’t permit persons under 18 years of age or above 40, pets, any bookings of stag nights, hen nights or sport tours, soccer fans for (inter)national matches and large groups of males ( 6 persons or more). Read the above carefully because in the event of a false booking, there will be no check in nor will there be a refund.
Before booking, we kindly ask you to read our terms and conditions below carefully.

Hostel Cosmos Amsterdam says
We have a lot of nice extras for our guests, like free Wi-Fi throughout the whole hostel. If you forget your laptop or smartphone we also have PCs in the lobby for a very small charge. On arrival you'll find a freshly made-up bed and free linen, which can be a pleasant surprise after a long trip. We have lots of helpful books that you can borrow and swap, plus bikes are for rent directly from the hostel and the free walking tour starts just around the corner.

As we're not a huge hostel, we consider our guests to be actual guests rather than just a number. That's why we like to call ourselves 'cosy' and do our best to maintain our laidback atmosphere. Simba, our cat, is definitely unique and loved by many - we think she RULES. As for our other features, our stairs are always feared at first but the guests get a proud feeling when they manage to walk them like a local does. They're surely considered unique! Actually, the whole building is unique, as it's existed for more than 100 years; it's a typical old Dutch building and is protected as a monument.
We're less than 15 minutes by foot from loads of attractions, like Dam Square, Rembrandtplein, Leidseplein, Rembrandt House, Anne Frank House and the Red Light District. Personally I like going to Vondel Park on sunny days and Museum Square and/or Anne Frank House on rainy days.- Cossi, Owner/Manager
Hostelworld Guests Say
Such a friendly environment, would not hesitate to stay here again. Staff (and Simba) are lovely, the building has a lot of character to it with the steep winding stairs, and the location is ideal. Not to mention the coffee shop directly opposite!

Latest Review
The staff was friendly at first but one other client tried to bring a bottle of beer in it and the staff guy got very mad and was extremely rude. The location is very good however and the rooms were clean. There are only one shower and one wc for the whole hostel (approximatively 20 people) which is a real problem every morning. This hostel is expensive but all the hostel are in Amsterdam.
