Hans Brinker Hostel Amsterdam

I just stayed there with 4 of my friends. Don’t expect to get a restful nights sleep whilst staying here. I can understand guests being loud as we’re on our holidays but it’s the cleaners who are the loudest. Every morning they shout down the corridors having conversations with each other. Whilst vacuuming the halls they let the vacuum bang against the doors as they go along. It’s ever irritating. I could also never imagine having to share this with strangers. The bathroom is TINY. All that being said the beds are okay and the location is great there’s lots around to do even though it’s not right in the city centre.

Location was great, friendly and helpful staff, rooms clean, breakfast was fine. Happy hr great. Outdoor patio was excellent. Wifi good. Single rooms great, dorm rooms hot at night. We are a group of six on the mature side and found this place perfect for the price.

Amazing hostel. Very kind people, that do their best to leave all friends together and for us to have a good time. Loved the environment. Always available to answer any questions or give any suggestions about the city or specifics places. We surely recommend!

Hostel was ok. Good location. Why I’m giving them 1 star is because they scammed me and charged me for two reservations. They also did this to a friend of mine who was staying there a separate time. BEWARE!!! I spoke to one of the front desk staff Eanna and she was of no assistance and kept blaming me This is FRAUD ! I will be taking legal action for their negligence to acknowledge their scam.

I booked a 2 night stay in a dorm however on arrival I was informed that the hostel operates an age restriction and I was too old. The receptionist admitted that this happens all the time but was adamant I couldn't stay so I was left traipsing the streets in the rain looking for alternative accommodation. If the Hans Brinkler wants to operate this policy then fine, it's their business but it needs to be clear and currently it isn't, it's hidden away at the end of the t&c's. When I asked how I get my deposit back I was told to contact their booking partner (Hostelworld). I have spent the last 2 months trying to get Hostelworld to acknowledge my complaint and deal with it, so far all I have received is automated replies which are of no help whatsoever. Hostelworld and the Hans Brinkler are happy to take deposits from customers who they know are unable to stay at the hostel, they are then happy to leave those customers on the street. Hostelworld's customer service is non existent, they do not care about anything other than profit.

The room was too small for 8 people. There were drawers under beds. I prefer cupboard with locks. There were no curtains on the beds. Hostel staff was friendly. Location is quite good. You can reach many places easily. If you prefer to walk around the city, this hostel has a perfect location 👍

Excellent localization, very near to Museumplein with a tram station very close. There is also a Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and McDonald's less than 3 minutes walking. The rooms and bathroom are very clean, I had no problems with the people I stayed with in room. Every bed in the room has a socket and a light. There is also an ATM inside of the hostel and a great dinning area with a bar.
