ClinkNOORD Hostel, Amsterdam

I liked the group atmosphere and the friendly people that I met.

The room was a bit too hot for my liking, despite having the fan on

I stayed in a 4 bed female only room. It was great. Quiet location and all females were quiet, respectful etc so good experience. I slept well. Toilet and separate shower in the room and plenty of showers and toilets around too. All clean.

The lobby was loud and noisy with loud music.

The events

Army of staff runs the place with full coordination.

Hardly one person handling the checkin process

The cost and the location

The rooms without windows

The rooms have slight AC but it was comfortable enough, even during the heat wave! The beds were comfy and the room was clean. Lots of social space and great location using the free ferry which takes one minute to cross the river. Would stay here again.

Nice vibe, everything was comfortable, practical and accesible

So clean and great location

There was not even a microwave or hot wáter to make some tea without having to buy it.

I stayed here for 5 nights and overall had a good experience. The hostel has a great vibe — modern look and feel, and there’s always something happening. They organize multiple events during the week, which is great for meeting people. There’s a ping-pong table, pool table, bar, and a communal kitchen. All of them have to pay to use it The breakfast buffet was decent for €10. It included scrambled eggs, juice, bread, pancakes, cheese, and jam — not exceptional, but a good way to start the day. I stayed in a 4-bed room. The bathroom setup was practical: one room for the toilet and a separate one for the shower. Each bed had a power outlet, two USB ports, and a reading light. The mattress was comfortable enough

there was no microwave, which was a bit inconvenient. The pillow was really bad — probably a 1/10. Definitely something the hostel could improve.

Near from the city center

Crowded most of the day

The location and the facilities

Check out timings

could have had mats or towels in shower. Shower was slightly tilted towards the bathroom door Light above mirror not working

Friendly, generally clean, great location.

The shared space and the bar is pretty big. They’ve got plenty of seats and table to chill. Staff was nice and I felt everything was well organized.

Design of the shower room is not great. There’s no wall between the shower and the other area, so floor gets very wet and you need to go back to your bed area with your feet soaked. Also the room is pretty small so you should go to the common space to relax.

The location is great, clean quiet hostel

Easy check in I like the atmosphere of the communal area, nice music, possibility to charge your phone, order a coffee Staff was ok, especially the french guy. Not far from the station and easy access to Amsterdam center

- no tissues in the bathroom - not enough area where to put your stuff in the room - shower spills water everywhere, making the bathroom become a swimming pool - it could be more sockets to charge phones in the commune area

Location is really good, room as described and breakfast was good!!

Ambience, staff, breakfast and facilities

We found a few hairs on the sink and fake eye lashes (5 of them) on one of the beds. It was really disgusting.

Location

Room was abit tight and bed was abit small for a double

Good location, reasonable price.

Could be a bit cleaner in the room. We also had a problem with online checkin. Recommend to take your own lockers.

Location is very good, everything is accessible by walk and ferry. Bed are comfy too. Lot of showers and bathrooms in each floor.

I do not recommend for solo travelers because there’s not a lot of solo, it’s more couples, school class, group friends that come so it’s difficult to socialize. There was nobody in the activities for solo people except me. There was also no tour. My room was cleaned only one time during my one week stay and you cant open the windows so its smells bad. The staff was 50/50, some were nice and some not. Also first time i see a hostel where you have to pay for almost everything including towels.

Close to the station, but in a rather quiet area, ferrys from the station to this location run 24h, so it very convenient.

The lockers did not work and one has to have wifi for check in, a bit unconvenient when travelling from abroad.

This was the cheaper of options available in Amsterdam. We had a private bunk beds room with private ensuite. It was compact but clean and the location is easily accessible via ferry to the city. Nice communal areas for hanging out in. All ages at this hostel.

Bathroom could have used a fan so it didn't make the room humid after showering. As the there was no opening window it did get stuffy but for two nights it was fine.

Nice location, clean premises

It was not possible to open the window in the room, and there was no heads up about this. Also, the window in the room is tiny and is inside the courtyard,therefore, there is no sunlight. Some employees were not friendly enough, not willing to help, or perhaps it is a local mentality. Overall it was not bad experience but those small details influenced my positive evaluation.

Clean, comfortable hostel

Probably AC was not working properly, as I got sick during the night. No hair dryer

The location which is near to central of Amsterdam.

About the payment. The property do accept only card payments for everything which is not convenient for tourists.

Location and staff

Rooms were too small even for a Hostel

Great room & location

No kitchen for guest use. Even access to a refrigerator would be great.

The room, though small, had everything we needed for our stay. Very clean and the beds were comfortable. Very close to Centraal Station - the ferries run all the time and you don't have to wait long. The hostel does some neat things to engage people. Communication was excellent.

Just know that, like many rooms in Europe, it will be a little small. Still, everything was great.

- The staff was helpful - The patio area was nice

- No kitchen with e.g. a microwave to warm up food. - The patio area was nice, but two out of the four days I was there, it was not accessible due to a private event. (The other days, it closed at 23:00.) - It was not possible to extend my stay even though I asked well in advance, so I had to resort to making a separate booking, which meant I had to switch rooms in the middle of my stay. Luckily the staff was nice and gave me a locker at no extra cost.

The location was good and it was clean.

The staff were not particularly friendly. The air conditioning was not yet turned on for the building but it was hot outside so our rooms were too hot and they were not accommodating to turn the AC on. They did provide some fans which helped to manage the heat.

The accommodation was great for our group of 10 travelers. We had no issues reaching the destination from the train station and the ferries operated more often than advertised. A very friendly and helpful staff as well.

Sharing a bathroom with so many people outside of your room can be a challenge sometimes. This also goes for doing laundry as there are not that many washers.

Almost everything

Comfort of the double bed

this is an hostel and i highly recommend it

The check-in process was self service. Which was very nice. They had lockers to store luggage in case you get there before check-in. Stayed here with my family. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom in our room was HUGE. The communal bathrooms were clean as well. I also really liked the digital key which was convenient and just the overall vibe of the place. Lastly it was a very short ferry ride from the central train station and quick walks to all the main attractions, food spots, and the canal districts after that. The ferry was available 24/7 and came pretty often we never had to wait for one.

I didn’t like how we had to pay for locker space to store our luggage. Usually storage space is provided for free.

Had a fun atmosphere

Nobody came to clean our room or bring new towels after staying for 5 nights so it got a little messy

Excellent location, a free ferry ride away from central station and the tourist district, with a park right outside the doors and across a bridge. A toilet room and a shower room in the quad dorm room. Good plugs and lights in each bunk. Female only rooms were marked. Breakfast was plentiful. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

You get inundated by emails - way too many- even the staff think so. Everything is an additional cost (breakfast, late stay, towels, etc.) which isn't necessarily bad, just different if you haven't stayed at any other hostels which operate like that. No kitchen so no cold food storage.

This was the cheapest accommodation for myself, my partner and our 7 year old. As hostels go this was one of the best I've stayed in. The rooms are very basic but clean.

Toilet roll run out. Cant bring in your own food or alcohol.

Location

Cleanliness

Yes it was unquie design in and places to chill

The other bathroom wasn't cleaned

The staff are brilliant. All of them were friendly and helpful, it definitely adds to good vibes when around friendly people. Loved the location, love the art work in the hostel too

The only criticism is no windows or fan in the ensure room. It was uncomfortable hot in the room. Can't open the windows. Just felt a little suffocating. But was clean and the staff definitely contributed to a nice stay. Thank you

Great location and friendly staff

Perfect to be central without paying central prices, ferry is so easy

It was very good. Really close to train station and the atmosphere was really good. It was clean, close to the a’dam bar/resto. The social room was good too. There is a place that you can rent locker if you want to visit the city after checking out.

It was really good actually

Very clean, nice vibe, very basic but everything you need.

Bath mat was stained and asked for an additional one or to swap it. Straight up refused and told no even when I offered to pay, not at all satisfied by this.

Everything was amazing. Super friendly staff, great location, the hostel itself is so cute and has so many activities which helps us to make new friends. I made a few friends thanks to the cocktail making class and it really made my trip so much better. Absolutely going back to CLINK next time I get to Amsterdam.

The sink in my bedroom’s toilet was clogged and there was no cleaning in the toilet neither. Since I had some roommates who weren’t the most hygienic, it started to smell bad.
