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.

It was very decent. Location just off the ferry service. Basically next to amsterdam centraal, a ferry that connects every 3 minutes in rush-hour and at least every 10 minutes from like 6.30am till 12.30 am, and running all night

Check in

Stayed here many times back in the day

New checkin is confusing and you are just expected to know what to do. Also there used to be an option for 4 bed occupancy not 6. This is the first time I've been put up on the 3rd floor in a 6 man cabin

Great stay!

Had a great stay for a night in a four room for women. The location can't get any more central. The interior design is very nice and alternative. The structure of the building is very well thought and there is plenty of space well maintained on the ground floor. The guys working at reception were great at handling requests! Also very open to help and good at communicating. Very thankful to Marcus and Samuel! The bar area was very nice also! The girl working at the bar, Karina, was amazing! Fast serviced with a great attitude and the drinks were nicely done! Nice amenities for each bed, and the toilet and shower room was clean. The warm water didn't miss! Smooth elevator as well! And I enjoyed also the coffee from the next morning! Good experience overall! I recommend!

The room was a bit tiny and the beds could have been a bit bigger as I'm 1.80. But the overall comfort was good!

Highly recommended! Wish I could have spent more time there.

Excellent location. Only a short walk and free ferry ride from Central train station. Fun vibe with murals and comfy common places where to hang out. Impeccable cleanliness. Easy and fast check-in. Nice breakfast buffet and a bar.

Shower could be enclosed better in private single room. Water gets all over the bathroom floor. Not a big deal. Just put down a towel to contain the flood.

Location and the facilities were very good

The early check out which is at 10:00 then they block the entrance card and you can't access the room and your belongings, I was taking a shower at 9:50 didn't know this and gladly enough I had clothes to walk to the reception and ask to unblock the card to get my things back.

I will say that I did have issues with the elevator. There are too many faults. But when I mentioned it, they said they will be onto it.

The location is okay, 5 mins to the port by walk and 10 mins by ferry, you can get the train station. 24 hrs reception. Public space is very big.

The safety might be a potential issue. Because everyone can access the hostel without any controls. I don't expect them to clean the room every day but at least when they change the bed sheet, they should clean the food left by the previous tenant.

Clean and cosy hostel with great location

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hostel was very clean and well-decorated. The location is wonderful, just a short (and free!) ferry ride from Amsterdam Central Station.

The bed was too hard for my liking, but the pillows were plush. The room was otherwise comfortable and clean.

Great for a short-stay, economic for Amsterdam, reminds older guests of student days

Location, building (stained glass windows, architecture, basement layout), staff (helpful)

Really good vibe all round!

The staff first and foremost are what make this place! they were all so friendly, attentive and just a joy to be helped by! Breakfast was good , and the lobby and communal areas are well decorated and the place just has a really good hostel vibe Rooms were clean, comfortable and relatively private , shower and toilet in room were clean.

I cant really fault it to be honest! they only thing id say if i had to complain is a bit of litter outside (it is what it is) and you've got to get the ferry over which i actually really enjoyed each time!! (its 5 mins)

The girl at reception changed the room for my convenience, which was kind. I always book with this hostel whenever I'm in Amsterdam, as the location near the central station is perfect. It was only a one night stay as I arrived quite late and didn't use the public spaces as much this time.

Clink winter 2025

There has been some improvements at the Clinic, but there has been things that are definitely a step back. The improvement is the use of the key cards compared to the old code/app door lock.

Before the Clink had a much better breakfast. Hot dogs should be on the breakfast menu & mustard should also be available on the breakfast. The grilled veggies rocked. Thank you. As for the rooms, long ago(I've stayed here 6 times) there used to be a rubber squeegee with a long handle in the showers to help with the water during showering, this is missing. The clink website says there is , DAILY, THE BAR AND RESTAURANT. but now it's closed on Monday that was a big disappointment. The website also says lockable lockers in the room. We stayed in G41 and all 4 lockers has been broken

Great location, good if you're after a bar and cafe in the accommodation and social activities.

No basic kitchen, fridge, or even really cutlery/bowls etc. for guests to use, only additional paid cafe/bar. Even a small fridge for guests to use would have been good.

Its nice but they can do better on certain aspects.

The Location is perfect. Just 5 min from the central station in Ferry and it is a free public transport so that was really easy. The grocery store is right on the back side which was nice to get necessary things. The place is lovely and vibrant.

I stayed in a private room with the bathroom. The rooms are really tiny so much so that two adluts with the check in luggage it was difficult to move around. The breakfast is cold and almost 10Euro which in my opinion was not worth. The shower in the bathroom are terrible. They should have hand shower options and should check whether they are working properly.

Clean, comfortable stay at a great location.

Quirky hotel/hostel built a huge converted building that looked like it was a school/ uni or commercial building g with high ceiling and wide stairs. Staff were friendly if not the most efficient. Good bar and cafe facilities. Fantastic location right beside Centraal with an easy 2 min free ferry ride that runs 24/7

A bit impersonal and pretty basic rooms but fine for a few days and a good price.

It is pretty clean, well managed and lovely hostel. There are cafe and bar inside the hostel and also chilling areas, which is really cool.
