best place ever
Matous, USA - Aug 01, 2016
Fairly good location, nice staff, and I also loved the sassy attitude of the hostel :-) It's what you expect for a cheap hostel (NOTE: it is NOT a hotel; don't expect one) My one complaint is that the bunk beds are kind of hard to get up on (no ladder), especially when you're trying to be quiet because others are trying to sleep...
Sanjit, USA - Jun 08, 2016
The beds and rooms are clean although a bit sterile in decoration. Lockers are provided with keys. Free breakfast that's actually good. Basement has a dance floor and ground floor has a bar. Located very close to everything downtown.

I think it's pretty well run I only had issues with the cleanliness, but other than that it was a great experience.

For me everything was fine and Good I'll recommend all of you to book this one its little bit expensive

I would recommend Brinker's Hotel Amsterdam for young people up to the age of 35. Older people are used to more comfortable rooms with a table and internet in the room, not only in the breakfast area.

The hostel is a little dirty but we handled. The staff is not friendly at all. And i did not know about the breakfast because i did not tryed. But it is cheap, the location is not bad and the ambience in the bar is super great and they have this bar in the vasement that has really good music and ambience. If you are looking for a place to meet people and have fun in the hostel, stay there.

This hostel is pretty clean and cozy. It has a nice bar area. Going to sleep was troublesome since there are no ladders to get to the top bunks, which are fairly high. Short people beware. I also didn't feel like this hostel was a good place to meet people as a solo traveler since there were a lot of big groups staying there. I don't think this is he place to go to if you're looking to meet people. But it's in a great location! Its a good place to stay, just not to have an amazing time if you're looking to interact with other travelers.

Perfect location in the city centre, nice bar inside the hostel. Unfortunately when we arrived one bed was dirty we asked reception three times but they totally ignoretaed us.
Daria, Russia - Aug 02, 2014
Very nice hostel, placed in the city centre. Breakfasts are exsellent! But it was too hot at night and I couldn't search the internet. Everything else is great!
Valerii, Ukraine - May 25, 2014
It was like in a student hostel: a lot of young people, a lot of bier and a lot of fun! I think when i come to Amsterdam the next time i would book in Hans Brinker hostel one more time.
XIAO, China - May 21, 2012
We had fun when living here, but it's a little bit noisy late at night.
Francesco, Netherlands - May 20, 2012
really noisy.. very hard if u want to spleep!! nice pub inside
Annamari, Finland - Mar 12, 2012
I was somehow expecting a bad hostel but got surprised in a positive way. It was clean, the locker was big enough for me to put all my stuff in it and the staff was friendly. The only thing that bothered me was the noises in the corridor but I just had to put my earplugs on and I could sleep well.
Gustavo, Brazil - Feb 19, 2012
Nasty but Perfect
Lucas, Portugal - Nov 29, 2011
Genious! A lot of space and opportunities to totally unknown people interact. Fun factor rules!
Fausto, Portugal - Aug 11, 2011
One of the worst hostel I´ve ever been. The conditions are awful, the rooms are all dirty and the WC is discusting too. It has a good location but it´s a really bad hostel to stay ( they were considered The worst hostel in the world officialy)
ANDREJA, Croatia - Apr 11, 2011
Very young people are coming in this hostel, so it's very loud at night. They are running through the hallways, stairs, screaming... Very, very loud. Good location, pleasant neighborhood. Breakfast OK.
Asen, Bulgaria - Feb 14, 2011
Had a very pleasant stay. A little bit Spartan, noisy facility, but what you pay is what you get, and a bit more... Also, position is in the heart of the city. In case I visit Amsterdam, will stay in hostel that h again.
Florian, Germany - Dec 09, 2010
just a good hostel...there´s all u need and for the price its great...
Tarik, Bangladesh - Oct 22, 2010
If you want cheap then ok.
Byron, England - Sep 13, 2010
If you're looking for a luxurious stay in Amsterdam then you're in the wrong place and you need to stop being so tight. For the money this place is excellent, great location and clean enough. Just got back from a 21st birthday weekend and had the best nights of my life.
Line Abildgaard, Denmark - Aug 21, 2010
There were fleas in the bed clothes.
Brigitte, Germany - Jul 26, 2010
very good
LEANDRO, Brazil - Feb 21, 2010
It`s a very simple hostel, clean, and the best is the localization. Near Leidsplein and de trains. Missing internet. I would come back another time.
Sanna, Finland - Jan 04, 2010
I thought the staff was nice and friendly. My room was comfortable and clean, except the water pressure in the shower was crap..but I got myself cleaned so I guess that's the most important thing. The breakfast is not great but ok.
Sabina, Poland - Dec 03, 2009
Too much noise, too many people drank and under drugs... A good environment if you want to do this kind of things, but Amsterdam is also a city to visit..
Marc, Germany - Sep 14, 2009
Nice place to stay with a group of 10 people. Very basic standard but pretty enough for sleeping.
Quite close to the center and the main attractions.
We will come back!!!
Mauro, Italy - Aug 28, 2009
Very nice place, nice people
Albina , Italy - Aug 17, 2009

cedric, Belgium - Jun 29, 2009
Horrible and unfriendly staff
Graham, England - May 27, 2009
More for the beer drinkers than the smokers
Rebecca, Wales - May 27, 2009
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Good atmosphere, breakfast was good and the rooms although they were basic they were clean and comfortable.
Ivan, Portugal - May 19, 2009
Place was awesome, nothing grand but very good atmosphere. good communal area and above decent rooms.
Ana, Serbia - Oct 28, 2008
Modest hostel but fulfills the necessary needs. Excellent position in town.
If you need luxury-this place is not for you.
RPC, Netherlands - Oct 13, 2008
Cheap and good for meeting people of staying with a large group.
Nikolay, Bulgaria - Oct 06, 2008
The best thing for 25 euro per night.
My only complaint is that there was no smokers lounge
Benjamin, Switzerland - Sep 02, 2008

Katarzyna, Poland - Jul 09, 2008
Hostel is in very good location. 5 min by tram to Central Station, 20 min walk to Red Light District. It o snot very clean, and shower does not work properly but these are the only disadventages. The rest is really great!!!!
Leslie, USA - Jun 02, 2008
Good location. Not the cleanest/nicest place, but decent for the price. Good sense of humor about their quality too. Had a restaurant available for meals and a club with pretty good music, which was a nice feature. Attracted a fun bunch of visitors from different areas. Private bathrooms were also a very nice addition.
Andrew, England - Mar 28, 2008
staff were very friendly, generally suffficiently clean. Close to shops and cafes but very long walk to the red light. Best to get a tram travelcard. Overall a good visit!
