We reserved our paid room over a month! We show up and ask us to come back later for check-in. We come back later in the evening and they tell us they have no rooms available and are very sorry! Employee tried to find us accommodations, but was unsuccessful in doing so! Horrible customer service and only got “sorry”

Pro: Relatively comfortable for bunk bed, bathroom was generally clean but it also would depend on the people using it. Very easy to get to central area and walkable if you like walking (except for ferry) Cons: no fridge, microwave, no way to buy/store own food (this was not clear on the website). This is important for me and those with dietary restrictions or those looking to save in an expensive city like Amsterdam. Also charges €5 for towel which I think is quite expensive.

The North (Noord) side of Amsterdam is worth exploring. But you are also a 2 min walk from the free ferry that will bring you to Amsterdam Centraal and directly down town. Lively hostel. The rooms are VERY basic (hostel of course) and the bed was painfully uncomfortable.

We had an amazing stay here. Our room was comfortable and clean. The food was good and well priced. Everything was super easy to get to. There is so much to do here and we loved our time at ClinkNoord - It was a great place to call home for three nights and we will be back. Thank you. Bonus that we were able to have an early check in and late check out for a small fee.

Absolutely loved clink, its a great place for tsolo travelers and familys alike. The place is bright and airy has great facilities from bathrooms, private rooms.

One of the best hostals I’ve stayed in. Please check the drainage for the shower in room 152. The water kept running out of the shower, we had to keep placing towels on the floor. Other than that the place is wonderful and location is ideal.

Worst beds of all time. Like for how much we paid to be in a crappy hostel you’d think they could something even remotely comfortable that doesn’t ruin the entire next day with soreness.

Huge hostel with plenty of rooms and plenty of activities. The toilet/shower facilities are kept in pristine condition. Yes it is in Amsterdam Noord (other side of the river), so you'll have to take the ferry, but it's free and it runs very frequently and late at night too (up to 2AM when I was there).

Thank you!

The location was perfect, the building colorful and nice! The morning yoga 10+ and the service was friendly. We really enjoyed our visit! But there was trash in our room when we arrived, that was not so nice. And there were sheets in our private room, even though we read somewhere that it wasn't included. It was a really nice place to stay and we can recommend it!
