Summary of traveller reviews

City Trip Hostels in Amsterdam offers a friendly atmosphere with helpful staff, praised for their welcoming nature. Guests appreciate the comfortable and private pod-style beds. While located outside the city centre, it's well-connected by public transport. Some recent feedback notes that the hostel can get warm and that cleanliness in bathrooms and common areas could be improved.

Endroit super! Si vous cherchez un endroit pour dormir seulement. Pas de micro-ondes ou de four! J'ai jamais aussi bien dormi en Hostel de toute de ma vie: le matela, l'oreiller, les couvertures, les pods WOW! Le trajet Amsterdam - Purmerend se fait très bien en train. Je recommande, merci !

I have stayed at a LOT of hostels in the past year, and for me the most important quality is always the staff, and the vibe. City Trip in Purmerende has the highest quality of both. Tomas and Reno were always helpful and attentive, and also very clear about policy, which I appreciate. It feels like the staff enjoys working here, and genuinely like their colleagues.

The reception staff are really nice.Everything was great.I like how there was women's only showers too.Everything was fairly clean. i like the idea of pod beds the only negative i think is it gets really warm during summer.The location is okay its like a 30 mins away from the centre if you get the bus but i liked that because atleast you're away from the city noise at night.As a female 18 year old solo traveller i felt pretty safe.The lockers are great too you get to make your own password.
