The stayokay is good if you want a calm and cheap place to stay in Amsterdam. Personally, I am not a big partier, so I was ok with the fact that it's not a big party hostel, however I would have liked the common area to be more lively. I was traveling alone, so normally I meet people in the common rooms at hostels and join them for the day, but I found that very difficult at the stayokay. There was no music in the common room and it was very quiet. No internet in the rooms, which was annoying.

The common bathrooms were very dirty and the staff does not have patience with tourist that do not understand them. They sale towels at a high price but they are not of good quality.

Dear, thank you for your response. I am sorry to hear that the bathrooms were dirty, every room has their private bathroom and are cleaned every morning. We normally recieve great reviews about our staff from Stayokay Vondelpark. We mention on our website that towels are not included. We hope you had a good stay. Kind Regards, Stayokay Vondelpark

High standard hostel, really nice stay, but it also shows on the price. Worth for a shorter stay in Amsterdam.

Pretty average Hostel, quite big and hence fairly impersonal. Location is good, close to the tram line and a 20 minute walk into town. The shower in our room was very awkward to use. Overall good value for money but I wouldn't stay here again if there were other alternatives.

Pretty good breakfast, but required long line up - likely due to large number during Christmas/New Year. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pretty good location. Bike rentals were quite good and convenient. Good stay overall, would go back again.

Could be a very nice hostel but it turned out to be noisy with late night party goers. My first room was disgusting though the re-allocated room was better

The nightlife in Amsterdam is indeed vibrant which is part of what attracts many of our guests. When you stay in a dorm it can be hard to sleep when people coming in during the night after partying in the city. Regarding to your first room. I'm glad we were able to re-allocate you to another room which was up to our standards regarding the cleanliness. Jan Sistermans - Hostel Manager - Stayokay Vondelpark

The staff was very helpful and efficient. However, wifi was only available at the lobby.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and I'm glad that you liked our staff. We get a lot of good reviews on our employees and we find customer service very important. We offer free wifi only in our public areas (lobby, restaurant & bar) because we believe in sharing experiences between travelers, so the best way to do that is in our lobby, restaurant & bar.

+ It's really great that you put together people that are alone. I met interresting people in my room, girls like me that was traveling by herself. - 6 people that have iphone, computer, camera, etc. to recharge every day and 1 power outlet in the whole room... that's clearly not enough power outlet.
