ClinkNOORD Hostel, Amsterdam

Came here for ADE and had a blast. Very solid and clean facilities, you do need to take the ferry there but the location was still very central. Got given fresh sheets halfway through my stay because I was there for a week. Hostel had heaps of events on as well for ADE.

The beds don’t have curtains which is worth keeping in mind for those who like privacy.

Great location away from the hustle and bustle. Very comfortable and clean.

No kitchen

Affordable option near Amsterdam Central Station (just a short ferry ride across) with easy access to Amsterdam and close to Schiphol as well. Ferry runs throughout the day frequently. They offer luggage lockers if you arrive early or depart late and would want to store your luggage, while you explore the city. There's a small grocery store (Albert Heijn) just around the corner within 5 minutes. Definitely its money's worth and views across the water to central station are worth it.

It is a hostel type setting, so expect busy evenings and lots of people, yet the rooms are nice and quiet. There is no real option (like in some other hostel) to make your own food or to store food, however this makes sense given the size and capacity of this hostel. Yet you can still pick up your own food and eat it there.

The atmosphere

The toilets were very dirty every time i wnted to use it despite there were cleaners at all times, the price is really expensive.counting i had to share a bedroom with 12 people, thas not nice,for the rest of things all fine

The location was perfect , breakfast deliciuos staaf very friendly . I will be back thank you😘

The internet conection was very slow in the rooms and the kitchen close early for dinner.

Good value for money,good location near the free ferry that takes you to Central station. We were able to walk everywhere from there, plenty of shops, restaurants and attractions nearby. Room was decent, bed was comfy, shower had hot water.

At check in the person at the reception desk didn't seem really interested in doing the job and even gave me a sarcastic answer to my question ( that's not acceptable in any situation towards a guest). We tried to stay away from reception and found advice somewhere else.

Huge room space. Other activities that can be done whilst staying in the hotel

Unclean utensils and surroundings

The location was incredible, also the vibe there was really nice with the bar and the stuff available to do.

The room was a little bit warm, they leave a fan for you but it's not really enough

Price quality was superb

Room a bit too packed but that's expected with the low price

Clean property

Nice staff and beautiful location

The lobby was the best lobby out of the other hostels. Plenty places to talk without disturbing roomates. Plenty of amenities including washer and dryer room. Location was perfect next to a park, must take ferry which was very cool and free.

The all girls room did not have a curtain so a guy in an apartment across from our window could see us from his balcony. We couldn't change in the room only restroom behind closed doors. Im sure the bunk beds railings don't get sanitized. Didn't want to touch them.

The spacious common area, variety of options for breakfast

The hostel is well located just an easy 5 min ferry from the central station. It is massive so I did find it a little tough to make friends, however the facilities were good and well thought out for travellers however what really made my stay was Lorna the evening receptionist! Made me feel so welcome and was super accommodating with my requests (needing toilet paper, hair-dryer) and even moved me to a more comfortable room which was super kind! Would actually come back to the hostel just for her.

The first room I stayed in was a mixed 8 dorm and it was dusty and the bathrooms were not cleaned often.

The hostel is huge and has no atmosphere at all. No kitchen facilities, no outside space (smokers have to go outside), the common area is not enough for the size. Everything is charged extra, from towels to luggage storage. For the amount of beds (more than 800), one receptionist is not enough. Check-in at 3pm, check-out at 10am, no flexibility or it is extra charged. Prior to arrival date, I was almost forced to make online check-in, another way of saving on staff. I stayed in a 4 beds female dorm, which was ok and clean, but had no bed curtains and the mattress was of poor quality. Linen was provided, but guests have to make their own beds. The water from the shower runs outside, the bathroom floor floods and becomes very slippery. Location - there is nothing to do around, but the Central Station is easily reached by regular and free ferries. The price seemed ok, considering that Amsterdam is an expensive destination.

Excellent location near free ferry to Central Station and Eurostar terminal. Easy walk to Dam Square. Clean bright hostel. Luggage lockers big enough for a good sized suitcase.

Rooms were warm-good. Buy unable to open windows to cool room down. Resetting the thermostat helped.

This is my first experience staying in a dormitory. I chose a 4 bed female room with private shower and toilet (shared between room occupants). My fellow occupants were lovely. I like that there was also plenty of bathroom facilities available for anyone to use. The layout of the communal areas (seating, cafe, bar, canteen) flows well. The food from the canteen was decent I had the poke bowl and breakfast. The building it self is large and functional. The location is great and very easy to get to from central.

Cleaning is not offered in dormitories. From the 2nd day I chose to use the shower and toilets in the hallway as they were cleaned regularly throughout the day. The room was very small, 2 bunk beds and 4 lockers and definitely not enough room for 4 people to move around easily. I found myself going to the communal area when everyone was up and trying to get ready to go out due to the tiny space. There is no where to hang clothes although the lockers are large enough that a hanging pole could easily fit. The actual lock to lockers is fiddly and you can’t help but make a lot of noise when just trying opening and closing it. Not ideal when sharing a room and trying to not disturb others sleeping. Window was sealed, no fresh air. Communal areas not very clean, seats are stained and need a good clean, floor was dirty. On my last might, the very loud music from bar in basement could be heard on the 1st floor. Unfortunately this went on until past midnight. I had an early flight so hardly got any sleep.

Good stay, was there for only few nights. Easy to get to places.

Nothing

Location, cleaness

Very Clean and Great location!

The location is wonderful, just a few minutes to central station

Good location Good breakfast

No hand soap No very clean mattresses

Relatively inexpensive by Amsterdam standards. Handy location. Very clean. Bar meals were good.

Tiny, tiny room. We knew the twin room with private bathroom was going to be small but this was next level. Getting dressed and opening doors required a high level of coordination and choreography from both of us.

Location near train station. Good wifi connection.

No tv. You need to pay the locker.

Hotel had a great location, a 2 minute walk to the ferry to get to Central. Good value for its price!

The beds were awful, was very hard to sleep on, especially for a longer stay. Would’ve been nice to have fresh towels after a few days too.

Easy access to Amsterdam Central Station with a free ferry.

The rooms are quite small and it can be tight when everyone is there. The shower and bathrooms also don’t seem to be cleaned everyday.

Room was clean. Lockers inside the room were enough for our luggage. The location was very convenient with free ferry service from the Amsterdam Centraal station.

The extra fee for the towels. That caught me off guard. Noise was also a concern at the middle of the night.

Everything is excellent except staff of the lady when we arrive and check out.

nice

Breakfast was good and reasonable. Staffs were very friendly. Although it’s all got the basics it’s convenient and the English breakfast was good.

The bedroom lockers too small, my carry -on bag didn’t fit inside the small locker in the room. You don’t know who’s in and out of the room and on one day someone left the room unlocked!!! The extra storage downstairs is spacious enough to take carry on bag but it’s €6 for 12 hours. I think this is expensive.

Staff are very friendly, rooms are a good size and you get your own bathroom which I liked.

The showers, good size but the the way the water came out made it difficult to wash yourself

Great location, great breakfast. Lovely activities and good environment!

Nice vibe

Nothing

Very nice hostel. Comfortable bed, excellent breakfast. Great location. The room has lockers but you need your own lock. You can also rent a towel for €5.

The shower in the room wasn't great as it's hard to take a shower beause of this shower head that directs water everywhere

The location

The bathroom are not clean as supposed

I like the set up and how easy it was to get back and fort from the city

staff particularly at the reception could have a more friendly attitude.

The location

Dorm beds should have more privacy like putting curtains or dividers at least

location

The breakfast

It’s very near the central station. Decent amenities outside the room. Staff were accomodating.

Very poor internet connect at the room 144. No table inside the room. Unprepared beds (we had to put the linens ourselves). Disorganised form of booking- we booked for a twin room but turn out to be unavailable at the time of checking in. We were upgraded to a 2 twin bed room though which we appreciate. One of the staff at the reception (the black guy) was loud when answering our queries other members of staff were nice but they didn’t tell us beforehand what was happening that’s why we got agitated- communication needs improving.

Easy access from train station. Ensuite double rooms available. Good value buffet breakfast. Nice communal cafe area.

Room a little compact and mattress quite firm.

The location was good, easy connection to the main train station. Despite it is quite large hostel it was quite. The staff was really friendly.

The female 4 room was super small, there were no hangers or any desk to put my things anywhere, just one in the bathroom. The locker was too shallow for my hand luggage. The room was not cleaned during my stay at all, the hairs were everywhere on the floor, for this price I would expected some regular cleaning.

Everything from the decorations to the amenities

maybe the food or bar could be 247

The Lounge and bar is pretty good

Location is great since it is near to central station and the ferry’s service is good

Beds are too close to each other it will be nice some curtains for privacy

Great location, friendly personel. En suite room with separate toilet and shower, but also showers and toilets right outside the room. The bed was quite comfortable too.

No curtains for privacy (or to keep the light out at night) and the shower room isn’t very practical. There is a glass “wall” separating the shower area but unfortunately it doesn’t go all the way to the floor which makes the whole room wet while showering.

It is far on foot with luggage to facility.

Location was excellent using free ferry service, few minutes walk from when you get off ferry from central station . Convenient for Day trips around area . Staff were sll fine exception was one who was rude, uncooperative ! No kitchen, no microwave but can get free hot water to make your own hot drinks etc . Lockers in bedrooms bring your own your towel and padlock .

Windows didn't open in bedroom I stayed on first floor.

Great location, clean rooms, nice interior

Beds are uncomfortable, the bed cover made of tree was broken

Great communal areas in the hostel - there is a real buzz and the whole building is very cool. The location is brilliant - just as you step off the ferry from Centraal Station. Amsterdam Noord is the place to be!

For a hostel, it was expensive, but that's Amsterdam for you.

Good location Felt safe Bar area was lovely Staff really friendly and helpful

Towels weren't great. Mine had a massive hole in the middle of it!
