Vandrarhem i Purmerend

“Very minimal climate control and very steep steps”

“I was pleasantly surprised with this hostel. When I arrived exhausted after a long trip I was greeted very kindly by the staff. I shared a dorm with 11 other girls and at first I was a bit worried about the noise but it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere (and clean)! Everyone was very respectful. There were separate toilets and showers as well, which was great. The area around the hostel was fine and it was quite easy to take the tram to where you wanted to go.”

“Fräscha toaletter och duschar, inte lika i rummet, fanns lite hårstrån och så i sängen. Hjälpsam personal, går att träffa folk även som soloresenär!”

“Quite noisy, the twin room is located in huts in common area. Toilets quite unclean. Showers disappointing.”

“While towels were replace everyday in the bathroom, the shower stalls smelled bad and were not clean with locks broken and soap missing. The capsule beds themselves were quite okay. The challenging part trying to sleep when there’s a bar on the ground floor playing loud music with a strong base and other guests making a lot of noise and playing music until late evening. ”

“Vistelsen var bra och mysigt och unikt. Men kan vara lite trångt särksilkt om man tågluffar med sina kompisar. ”

“Well located and easy to access. The staff were friendly, but unfortunately the breakfast was disappointing.”

“So if you're into the museums around Museumplein the location is great. There are lots of trams passing by as well so it's easy to get around. Google Maps + GVB 24h pass does the trick for getting anywhere in Amsterdam. So apart from the location the hostel is what you pay for. It's ranked amongst the cheapest and it's pretty basic. I had stayed here 3 years ago and it was basically identical. Hotel receptionist (perhaps owner?) was very nice to me and friendly even if not all hostel guests...

“You get what you pay for. Good location, one station with subway to the central station. Okay if you only plan to sleep there. Happy and helpful staff.”
