Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A great hostel with super friendly staff. I liked the kitchen and lockers in the rooms. The atmosphere there was friendly do it's one of a few hostels where you'll feel absolutely safe and relaxed even thought you're staying there alone.

    The location is perfect, 5min from central station. The building itself is nice, an authentic dutch house with stiff stairs and high celling. I like the type of beds in this hostel, it gives a lot of privacy and even if you’re in a 8 people dormitory room - it doesn’t feel as much crowded there. Coffee in the kitchen was good. Stuff is very friendly and helpful.

    An awesome hostel that provided a lot of safety and comfort. Furthermore, the lockers are big enough to keep your belongings safe! The staff is helpful and attentive! Not far from a tram station, you can easily discover the city or take a walk and test the restaurant and pubs nearby! Moreover, the coffee is free!

    Great location in the city center, 10 minutes walk from main train & bus station, yet in the calm, quiet and safe back street. Room for solo traveler (one bed) is small but cosy and more than adequate, clean all around, with great bed and linen, tv, private bathroom with shower. Staff is very friendly and helpful (both receptionists I encountered). All of this you get for a really budget price, not much more than hostel bunk bed. Great experience overall.
