Space Hostel

Not recommended.

The hostel is very well situated- if you want to be in Zaandam but for a tourist to stay there because you want to visit Amsterdam? No. it’s still very close to Amsterdam and other places but the reason I am writing is that there wasn’t a nice atmosphere and in all honesty the people staying there didn’t seem to be the typical backpackers. I wouldn’t recommend it to any backpackers that would like to meet likeminded travellers.

Could be one of the worst hostel experiences: 1. Paid way too much money and there weren’t event lockers 2. The only bathroom was very dirty most of the time with water everywhere 3. Supposedly there is a no alcohol or food inside the room policy which nobody followed and all the guys over there were pretty hammered and you could hear all the noise they made 4. Somebody stole some cereal bars I had bought for myself that I left on top of the rooms shelf (no lockers) 5. Each train trip is 3.30€
