ClinkNOORD Hostel, Amsterdam

good location , easily accessible and close to the city center while in a quiete area. interesting facilities and welcoming atmosphere overall.

-

This was my second stay at clink and definitely better one because I had a private room.

The bed was quite small.

There is no kitchen available for use, and therefore no cooking facilities such as a microwave. This is quite unfriendly to travelers, especially for a hostel-style accommodation.

Massive breakfast choice with friendly member of staff to tell you how it all works. Location was close and easy to get to central Amsterdam but without the noise.

Blind our room was permanently down and couldn’t be pulled up

I liked the location and the room and the price given the location. What is an advantage on location can also be a disadvantage. This location is dependent on the ferry being functional on a regular basis. My visit was during a very busy time of SAIL 2025 and the ferry service was suspended for a number of hours.

The breakfast is a pass. It's in a convenient location and at a very basic quality. Skip it

It’s a massive hostel — it almost feels like hosteling on an industrial scale, if that makes sense. It’s modern, clean, and well-designed.

Because is so massive and there's so many people coming and going, often you need something from the front desk and they’re swamped with people, which could definitely be improved, so you don't have to wait long in line to get a question answered. Also, the showers don’t contain the water well, so the whole bathroom ends up wet — a bit annoying. Apart from that, it’s a good place for a short stay in Amsterdam

Great atmosphere, staff always supportive, good services and great value for money

The noise of the closing of interior door next to the room

Location was good and easy to get to Centraal via the ferry.

Room was a little small. The shower glass didn’t go all the way to the floor so made the floor went. Sink clogged in the toilet room. One of the girls in my room said she complained yet nothing was done

Had a good elevator and good ventilation in shared spaces like reception.

There only being one disabled toilet, and the air conditioning in some rooms not working.

I liked that the shared rooms (10 female dorm) had an ensuite in the room and split between shower and toilet so people weren't waiting. The facilities were good with more available than I realised. Safe lockers, compact but well built dorm room. Staff were friendly and helped with keeping medicine cold and offer towels and hair dryer if needed.

There could be more information on check in such as information on events and the fact that there is hot water for drinks 24/7 which I didnt know until check out. The communal areas are small than seem and taken up by peoples bags which I don't think should be allowed as people struggled for a place to sit at times and communal areas weren't cleaned up.

Iiked the female only dorms, the social hub and energy that come with this hostel. Staff are pleasant and friendly, other travellers are too. The beds were surprisingly comfortable for bunk beds and the sheets and pillows were adequate

No AC in the room, no way to open the window even on a safety latch. AMS is very hot sometimes and clink is even hotter.

We booked a womens only room of 4. The room had separate lockers and its own bathroom which was convenient. It was overall clean and comfortable enough to spend three nights there as we did. The location of the hostel was perfect.

You can‘t open the window in the room to ventilate after someone showered. The walls and doors are not very soundproof. Not a lot of necesseties available (i.e. you have to bring your own towel).

spacious, fun environment, clean, breakfasts, accessible, overall just one of the best hostels i’ve stayed at

there’s no public access kitchen so it does mean you have to spend more on food - a microwave or a kettle would have at least been helpful but no

Well located and clean.

Expensive and small rooms with a lack of hooks for towels.

It was clean comfortable and also hostel has really nice areas to sit relax and meet people

The rooms are a little bit tiny

Nice friendly helpful staff.

I liked everything. No complaints.

Atmosphere

Noise

Bed was comfortable! Even though my room was close to the bar/lounge area, the music didn’t carry to the room itself.

There were no curtains on the beds, which I found weird considering there are mixed dorms.

Basically center of the city.

Room was very dusty. No clean for 5 days.

It's facilities, helpful approach of staff, location overall It's must recommended hostel

Property is well maintained and clean!

I had asked to clean the room thrice, but no one bothered to do it!

Many things to do, good chill vibe

They charge more than other vendors for example for bike renting they charge 17 euros but vendors only 13 -16 euros

Location

There was no window that could be opened for fresh air.

The shared spaces were nice, and I really enjoyed the experience of taking the ferry to reach that part of the city. Overall, I found staying in that area more enjoyable than being in the city centre. Plus, the breakfast was quite good for the price

Taking a shower meant splashing water all over the toilet and the shower pod, which wasn’t ideal. The room itself was quite small, with no wardrobe, and although it was a private room, I expected much better natural light.

The location is unbeatable! Close to restaurants, ferry and Central Station. Less crowded than the other side of the river which makes biking easier.

Nothing.

Nearly everything

Mess up with check-ins and assigned beds. I checked in, was given a bed but when I went to the room, someone else already was there and was given the bed. After I asked the staff to replace it, which they did, the new bed ALSO was taken, but fortunately another bed was free in the same room, so I ended up sleeping in that. This should be sorted out.

We appreciated the location, it was clean and well organised, the staff was nice and polite.

There were few lockers, the price was too high for an hostel, the shower was uncomfortable.

The 4 bed dorm rooms are way to cramped up

Good for a hostel in Amsterdam

Very overpriced

The hangout area was amazing

Showers were a bit small and dirty

Cozy hostel, kind people

Was kept awake almost the whole night by my roommates, there’s not much the staff could do about that but it made it more uncomfortable for me

Location and atmosphere

Nothing it was good

I really liked the location and the well-functioning AC — it made sleeping at night very comfortable. The digital room keys were super convenient. Breakfast was nice, and the common areas were great for relaxing or having lunch/dinner. Plus, there were lots of game available, which was a fun touch!

The rooms were tiny — there was literally no space for 4 people to move around. The sink in the shower room was clogged during my stay. There definitely weren’t enough hooks or shelves, both in the rooms and in the bathrooms. The lockers were uncomfortable to use and didn’t have locks — you have to bring your own or buy one at reception. Also, the pillow was way too soft — really needs replacing.

Location is great. Staff is very polite and helpful.

This is a very socialable hostel. Despite being on the other side of the river it's a very short walk and ferry from the center. Games were great and the bar was a great plus. Great value for money.

There was a lack of kitchen. But that's the only negative really

A very clean and very cool place. Very lively, full of activities that you can get involved in as well. Will definitely stay again!

Very stiff bed.

Traveled with my younger brother and best friend . We had a private room with private bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly,

The WIFI could be better

Air conditioning, good bathroom,

Doors are. Noisy and also theres no curtains, charger didnt charge

The hostel is located a quick (free) ferry ride from the main station, which is pretty nice. Hostel events were fun and a good way to meet people. Bar and food weren't insanely priced. Beds and pillows were comfortable. View from the room was nice. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm. Had a separate bathroom and shower located in the room, which was nice. And then extra toilets and shower for the whole floor available as well.

Be aware that this hostel has no kitchen for you to cook in. So, you need to rely on supermarkets or restaurants, which is a little annoying if you are looking to save money. However, the food on site wasn't insanely priced for Amsterdam. The location is close to the central station, but can be a little annoying traveling over the ferry everyday. I could hear everything in the hall through the door to my room.

Great location. Convenient for young people.

The usb charger happens to be broken. The shampoo for my room has run out.

Nice location

The sink was clogged. Someone shaved and we could not wash it of. Locks for the cabinets need to be bought if you want cabinets in the room to be locked. Maybe I just got used to hostels that have lockers inside the room for a guest but that was inconvenient

Location is good. Close to the station and the area is quiet.

There was no ramp at the enterance. That makes hard to access.

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.
