Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Loved it! Easy check with the owner in a shop. Immediately loved the room. There was everything we needed, even an umbrella for our walk to a concert. Great shower, bed and coffee! We used P&R Westraven. Which was easy and cheap. 7 minute walk to Tivoli Vredenburg.

    I stayed in one of the proper rooms, so I didn't really get the total bunk bed experience, but this hotel definitely seems like a good value option for inner Utrecht, and a fun one to stay as a backpacker or similar. The ground floor offers a vibrant restaurant that is pretty much full every evening, and everything is clean and comfy, albeit a tad rowdy.

    Handy location for the centre and the train station. Rooms for get any outside noise but… (see next section). The rooms are well appointed and roomy. Great shower and pillows. The lobby is good and the cafe / Barr staff were very friendly and helpful as were the reception. Breakfast was not included in our not exactly cheap rate so can’t comment on how good this is

    Very friendly and welcoming staff, great back garden and lounge area where you can sit and do work or play games and hangout. Everything was well organised, from the lockers to the kitchen and the working hours, and overall the vibe was very laid back and comfortable. Great location, near party areas but also on a quiet side street. One of the best hostel experiences I've had in a long while.

    The hostel is in a great location, in a beautiful house, with a lovely garden and an organized kitchen with everything you need to cook your own food. The cleanliness is really very good, even in the room and shared bathroom. On top of all that, the staff is super nice :) Bedankt Strowis Hostel!!!
