Even though we're near to some of the city's best nightspots, we're based down a quiet side street, so your sleep shouldn't be disturbed by noise. To get to the hostel from the airport, take the train to Amsterdam Central station and from there Metro # 52 and get off at the Wijzelgracht. The Fokke Simonszstraat is on the left side of the street. Alternatively Bus 397 from the airport will bring you to the Rijksmuseum from there it is 10 Minutes walk

Extras and activities
You'll find plenty of handy extras like adapters, If you fancy some downtime, help yourself from our book exchange. When you're heading off on the next leg of your travels, we'll be happy to store your luggage before your flight.

Great location! Clean accommodation with friendly staff. Fresh sheets, comfy bed. But towels taken away in the morning and not replaced. Soap sachets not replaced. Kettle, cups and fridge in the room but no supplies. €2 to use coffee vending machine in the lounge. The price does justify some soap, shampoo and coffee I think.

This is a budget hotel. Superbly placed for transport to just about anywhere in the city. Lots of interesting venues to walk to as well. Reception staff accommodating, helpful and obviously used to relating to folk from all points of the compass. Facilities OK. Kettle in the room. Beds/linen/towels fine. Would use again if returning to the vibrant, energetic wonderful city.

There were three of us sharing one of the private rooms. They were clean, the staff came in to vacuum daily and were very friendly and accommodating. They even dropped off additional blankets when it got extra cold for a couple nights! A very positive experience all around. We all agreed we would stay here again.
