Property Description

Welcome to Bob's Youth Hostel! The coolest place in town ;)

Over 30 years ago, Bob decided he wanted a hostel. A youth hostel that is, where young people from all over the world could sleep under the cleanest of sheets without having to pay too much!

Today, Bob's is still a cool place with nice people on a central location. Our 2 buildings are typically-old-Dutch & especially charming. This means that there are no elevators and that our stairs are Amsterdam-like steep. We offer the cheapest beer in town, good music and a free and relaxing atmosphere. Besides that we have a very friendly staff that will always be helpfull showing you the non-touristy, or if you like the touristy, places of Amsterdam.

Here are some details on Bob's dormitories:
- No curfew!
- Clean linen is included
- The reception is open from 08:00 AM until 03:00 AM.
- If you need to check out between 03:00AM and 08:00AM, please check out before 03:00AM. on your last night.
- Bar open from 8am to 3am with the cheapest beer in town!
- Free use of lockers to store your bags (deposit required for the key)
- Check-in starts at 2 PM / 14:00h. You can leave luggage in a luggage room before that time.
- Check-out between 08:00AM and 10:30 AM
- Free use of luggage room
- You can pay in cash or by card, if you pay by card we will ask for an extra 2% on top of the price to be paid.

Please note that:
- We have age restrictions; we can not accept people under 18 or above 30 years old.
- The 7% tourist tax has to be payed upon arrival.
- If your booking exceeds 1000 euros we will ask you to transfer the money in advance.

Overview

For more than 30 years, Bob's Youth Hostel has been a cool Amsterdam spot for international travellers – and they've covered our walls in art to say thanks! We're spread over two traditional Dutch-style buildings, and the living-room-style lobby is the place to mingle over a board game or guitar jam. Or check out our bar for some of the cheapest beers in town. When you're hungry head to our café, and we'll cook you up some tasty snacks.

Location

Find us in the De Wallen district of the city, a 10-minute walk from the Amsterdam Centraal train station. Heavy bags? Jump on tram lines 2, 11,12, 13 or 17 for 3 minutes to Nieuwezijds Kolk. To reach the station from Schiphol airport, take the Sprinter for two stops (17 minutes) or the Intercity direct, which will have you there in 15. Both the famous Red Light District and the Anne Frank House are a 10-minute walk from the hostel. Head a little further out to the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, a 25-minute scenic stroll away.

Rooms and Dorms

Here, it's all about being sociable in the mixed dorms with bunks – there are plenty of people to meet. We also have a female-only dorm. Many have private en-suites with hot showers and sinks, while toilets are just down the hall. Backpack too compact to squeeze in linen? Our beds are made up with free fresh sheets and you can hire soft towels from reception.

Extras and activities

Before you head out along the canals, pick up one of the free city maps from our front desk. Stash your stuff in our free lockers (we take a small deposit for the key). When you get back, to rest up tired feet, make yourself at home on a sofa in the common room after a day of sightseeing. Get yourself a free coffee and flick through your photos from the day or use our free Wi-Fi to update your location status.

    The website is not in anyway related to the hostels/accommodation they provide. The accommodation people says they are not related to the website you book from. Cancellation policies are confusing since both accommodation and the website sends you two different policies. They both are not even connected to each other (no single point of contact for customers), which makes the customer confusing. Not very flexible for customers to manage your bookings.

    Our mistake was not reading the reviews before booking. The price is doable and the location is great, after my stay in the hostel I still have to agree that the location is great but I would have preferred paying a bit more for a more comfortable stay. Upon check in the staff was super stoned, the facilities aren't great, no tissues to dry your hands or face and the cleanliness was horrendous , bed bugs, my friend is covered in bites! Blood stains in the bed sheets dusty and very noisy! Poor!
