About Shelter City
SHELTER CITY CHRISTIAN HOSTEL - Great value for money.
The hostel offers you a bed, breakfast, hot showers and a locker for the best prices in Amsterdam. Enjoy the clean and comfortable accommodation and the friendly international atmosphere. Providing so much for so little, the Shelter City is definitely the best deal you can get in Amsterdam.
The hostel is located in the CITY CENTRE, a short walk from Central Station. Most of the main tourist attractions are within walking distance.
The Shelter City has single-sex ROOMS with 4 to 8 beds and single-sex dorms with 12 to 20 beds. The larger dorms are divided into smaller sections to provide the privacy you’d like. Our budget price includes breakfast, hot showers, and locker. Starting at 16.50 euros, these are the best-value beds in town.
You will get so much MORE than just a good night’s sleep at an affordable price. The hostel not only provides excellent facilities, but also has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All of our international staff speak English and will be pleased to help you. The hostel has a courtyard and a great cafe where you can get something to eat or drink, relax and meet people from all over the world, or use the Internet.
The LOCATION in the historical Nieuwmarkt area makes it easy to explore Amsterdam. The hostel is close to Central Station, Dam square, small China Town and the Red Light district.
