Summary of traveller reviews

Stayokay Amsterdam Stadsdoelen offers a fantastic central location in Amsterdam, perfect for exploring the city. Guests frequently praise the exceptional cleanliness and the friendly, helpful staff. While not a party hostel, it provides a comfortable and secure base for travellers. Some recent feedback notes that the showers can cause the floor to get wet and that lockers are on the smaller side.

Clean and bright rooms, though no curtains for privacy and you had to make the bed yourself. Location was amazing, right on a canal in the centre. Staff were friendly and efficient. Plenty of showers and toilets which were clean but there was no way to squeegee the water from the showers which would’ve been nice. Common rooms were very nicely decorated, and there is a seperate common room downstairs seperate from the lobby which was fairly sociable.

Hostelworld says

Stayokay Amsterdam Stadsdoelen is in a quiet street overlooking the canal, near the Red Light District, Dam Square and Centraal Station. The breakfast at this hostel is highly praised, and Hostelworld guests have said they would recommend this hostel because of the staff, who are ?always willing to answer questions, give suggestions and [create] an atmosphere where people just enjoy themselves?. We like that this hostel offers discounted tickets to several popular tourist sites around Amsterdam.
