What guests liked

All you need to know

This hotel typifies the Amsterdam hotel; hospitality at its best. Located in the northern part of the city, and a few minutes from the back of the Amsterdam Central Station making it very accessible. The hostel is so accessible you can reach the premises in less than five minutes on foot after taking the free ferry across the IJ River.

The hostel is a mixture of modern Dutch-style and traditional Dutch design offering a friendly atmosphere. The traditional Dutch design is very obvious in the 1930’s laboratory building which is still retained in the present hostel. One of the interesting features of the old laboratory is the stained glass window which creates a rather impressive and exciting to view.

The hostel offers a restaurant, a bar/lounge area designed to keep guest relaxed and refreshed, a coffee café for some early morning refreshment, a common area, meeting rooms and a library/workspace so guests have a place to stay in touch with their work or business. Available in the common area are a microwave and a refrigerator.

The hostel has dormitories of 4 to 14 beds which includes some girls’ only dormitories and private rooms. Most of the dorms in the hostel are en-suite and also contain lockers that are big enough to keep your hand luggage.

At the ClinkNOORD, you can’t be bored. Every night, there is always an event such as solo traveler meetups, cocktail-making workshops, live music and also a number of DJ sets. Any event night in the hostel is the perfect place for you to meet new people of different origins, cultures, languages and stories.

Very good

Everything was fine. The location was good. However, when I first checked in, they gave me a room. And that room smelled incredibly bad. I only stayed in that room for 5 minutes and my head ached for hours, it smelled so bad. I requested a new room and was taken to the new room. The new room was normal and clean. The cabinet locks in the room were broken, but I was given one of the cabinets downstairs. My phone line was not working at the hotel. There was wifi at the hotel.

Comfortable

Nice place friendly atmosphere location is really good very scenic, good communal space with yoga mats places to lay down ping pong and pool tables, nicely tucked out the way but still only 5 mins away from centre as ferries are free and run 24/7 would definitely stay here again.

Drinks are expensive

Perfect for a city break.

The location is ideal perfect as you are close to the centre without being in the busy city. The size of the room and and facilities in the room were great. The bed was comfy and shower was excellent.

Fair enough

It’s just at the best location near the train station and 30 mins from airport.

Using an app to get into room. What if my phone ran out of battery?

Good value for money and good location near to the central station, you just need to cross the river with the ferri

Most of thing was amazing, there were many activities in the lobby And I liked having room key access through the mobile phone

Any tiny move on the bunks makes noise

Modern hostel in a good location

Good location in Amsterdam Noord with easy access to the free ferry between Amsterdam Centraal Station and Amsterdam Noord. A few restaurants and bars within a 2 minute walk and right next door to the A'DAM Tower and Eye Film Museum. Good selection for breakfast in the on-site cafeteria.

The bed was a bit hard for my liking, and the grey decor in the room was a bit drab. No soap in the dispenser next to the hand basin (although there was in the one in the shower). The board in the foyer said food was available in the cafe 24/7, but there wasn't anything after 11pm, so this was a bit unclear.

Great weekend up to the next stay at ClinkNoord

Lot of things to do on site ! Really big convivial place for everyone ! Clean and calm despite the music in the underground

Hard work with the luggage locker but we get the solution rapidly!

Convenient and easy

Great location for the central station which meant we didn’t have to travel far with our suitcases and we were doing a lot of day trips from the station. Quiet (although we were there in winter, so can’t speak for summer) and a nice range of people there from school kids to elderly.

Rooms are a bit small for everyone to have enough space to spread out luggage but to be expected.

Nice location with good hostel vibe

The location is nice. Just take a ferry from other side of central station and walk for 5-7 minutes and you're there. Staffs were polite. Although there was confusion due to similar kind of name but it was resolved in good manner. So all good in the end.

Would stay again at this price point

Location is fantastic, the breakfast was priced really well, clean facilities overall and friendly staff Opportunities to meet other people are good and there are free lockers on the ground floor for small things

The 4 person dorms were really small, windows also don’t open The design of the shower heads in shared facilities is terrible. Mold is starting to grow and visible which will definitely be a big problem in near future

Fabulous

One of the best hostels I’ve ever been to, definitely if I go back to Amsterdam again I’ll go directly to this hostel. They got so many good spots inside and you feel like a part of a big group that shares the same vibes. You need to get always a free ferry to reach the hostel but it’s suggestive every time and the service is perfect.

massive hostel with lots of options and lovely staff

the staff is so helpful and lovely! I ended up extending for an extra night and they helped me figure out the best option for me. good facilities, all clean and the food is amazing

the shower in the twin room doesn’t really have a separation, so water just goes all over the bathroom. it’s not super bad for me, but it’s probably annoying to whoever has to clean it

Perfect for a short stay near city centre

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location you just need to take a free ferry that will take you through the river, it takes like 5 minutes and you’re in the very city centre.

Room and bathroom were a bit small and you cannot detach the shower head so a bit trouble with washing hair. But good value for the price

Comfortable rooms in a nice part of Amsterdam

Toilet and showers in the room were very clean!

Not the property's fault, but there was a guest in the dorm who brought her friend and they talked late into the night. She was quite young, so we didn't want to make a fuss about it.

The live band was really enjoyable to watch and listen to.

They don't have a fridge for guests. That would be a nice addition to the accommodation.

Spacious hostel with okay location

It was a pretty spacious hostel with lots of areas to hang out. The staff was great, and helped us with all of our questions. They also got us set up with bikes that are rentable, as well as a hair dryer. We had to rent lockers—we needed the XL storage units located in the basement. I wish it had been slightly better advertised. The rooms themselves were great. We loved how open they felt, and the split shower/toilet rooms were perfect!

The beds were a little hard at this location. And I realize it was during the holidays but there was only one working dryer in the whole building. It took us a couple hours to be able to finish all of our laundry. It’s also kind of far from main attractions.

Pleasant

Separated toilet and shower rooms, so you don’t need to wait one person to do your staff.

The sink are very tiny, so all the water is going out. Also no socket in bathroom, so you can’t turn on the dryer and you should do it in the room in self. Not comfortable at all, as all the hair will be on the floor in the room and also you will annoy people in the room with the sound of dryer

The place to stay in Amsterdam on a budget.

Comfortable, affordable, and modern. This hostel great. Self check-in and out, although there’s staff to answer any questions you might have. The neighborhood the hostel is in is served by a 24/7 free ferry so you can explore the city all night long!

I liked everything. Hard to complain when the hostel is so affordable and in such great condition.

The two basement rooms don't have a window and the ventilation system in those rooms does not work. They are very cramped rooms with 14 beds. This seems to be a permanent issue and makes it quite unbearable in those rooms.

Perfect Location, Clean Facilities, and Amazing Staff!

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The location is unbeatable, just a short 5-minute ferry ride to Amsterdam Central Station, making it super convenient to explore the city. The room and all the facilities were spotless, which made the stay comfortable and pleasant. The staff was truly amazing – friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any questions or needs. Their positive attitude added a welcoming touch to the overall experience.

Honestly, there wasn’t anything major to complain about. If I had to nitpick, a microwave in the common area would have been a great addition for heating up small meals.
