Clinknoord Hostel

The lobby was clean, the room itself was tidy, and the bathroom was comfortable, which I really liked. Out of all the dormitories I've stayed in so far, this one is definitely the best.

This was the first hotel we stayed at in Amsterdam, and we also returned here for our last night. When there was an issue with the self check-in machine, a staff member immediately approached us to assist and was very friendly. Overall, the facilities are exceptionally clean.

First off, the location is great and the staff are all very enthusiastic and friendly. The only downsides were that the shower pressure was really weak, and the showerhead was fixed, so it was impossible to move around – I felt like I couldn't even wash my hair properly. Also, there's no kitchen available for guests. While the common areas are spacious, I found them pretty useless since basic needs like cooking couldn't be met.

The hostel is huge. It mainly hosts young people and school groups. Nevertheless, they manage to keep it clean! You can only pay by card for everything there! Towels cost extra. The front desk staff are friendly: they helped me check in and store my suitcase in the luggage room. They have a huge dining area where breakfast is served – it's good, and the coffee is excellent. You can eat your own food there at other times of the day. But! There's no microwave!!! There's a hot water dispenser, which was cold or empty exactly when I needed it most)) Bring shower sandals. In the quadruple room with a bathroom, water would flood the entire floor – that's just how the shower is designed there. The stained-glass windows on every floor are beautiful!!!!

This is a large international chain hotel with excellent facilities, good hygiene, a top-notch environment, and standardized service. The hotel is located across the water from Central Station, and there's a free ferry service available 24/7. The pier and the view of the water are beautiful, and crossing the sea every day adds a unique charm to the experience.

The hostel is just a ten-minute boat ride from the Central Station. The room was tiny, with only one hanger. Be aware that luggage storage costs extra. You can refill your water bottle for free on the basement level. However, the hostel sometimes has a weird smell.

Checking in and out, as well as luggage storage, all cost money. It's 7 euros for 12 hours. I slept in a 4-person female dorm, which was comfortable and safe, so no issues there. The bathroom, toilet, and beds were very clean and comfortable.
