This is the complete hostel experience. Easy to find, easy to explore. Staff is amazing. "common areas" are good for interacting with new people. Nice facilities. WIFI is turbulent, but works. Ferry service free 24/7 departure every 5-10 minutes (day/night). It takes 4 minute of walking and total 10 minutes from central station. Early checkout 10am (12o'clock if you pay €5). Rooms remind me of army barracks, with just enough space to move toward your bed. Bed=Solid, Matress is hard, and pillow half. FREE BEDSHEETS during your stay. Shower=no waterpressure. Hostel is quite NOISY, also in your room (but this is an hostel not an hotel!!! and they sell ear/eyepads, locks etc) Its neat, its tidy. u can lock your own stuff up in your personal locker at your room. Breakfast buffet is okay, Zinc bar is nice. Overall good value for money. You get what you pay for here, notthing less than that. A hostel for those who want to explore amstardam, and not the hostel-room. And for those who want to meet new people - this is the place!!!
I wish ClinkNOORD good luck with their new hostel and concept. hope you guys succeed with this brilliant concept (at the same rates ofc :)
