ClinkNOORD Hostel

I stayed Dec 26 to Jan 1, 2023 single private room Scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest) Staff: 10 - I never knew a hostel staff can be so kind and helpful until I met Ms. Arlinde the asst. front office mngr. There was this one day i got so unlucky, but with her around, she helped and saved me big time! She has this sense of urgency and she cares for the guests / tourists. She has a great management skills. She knows how to calm a distressed person with her people skills and knows how to show empathy. Location: 8 - a 5 minute free 24/7 boat ride to go to the central station plus 3 minute walk to get to the tram station, if you’ll walk from this point, it’ll take you 12 minutes to reach Dam Square (from central station) Room: 9 - clean room with comfy bed, pillows and blanket plus towel, clean shower bathroom with good water pressure (shower) with hot and cold. Room is quiet. Added value / facilities: 9 - the hostel has a very youthful cool vibe, a lot of young generations are also staying there. They have a bar downstairs and also a common area if you want to mingle with other travelers. They also have pool table game and some arcade games Wifi: 9 - strong wifi Value for money: 9 - I stayed in a single private room, not cheap but knowing it is in Amsterdam Europe and the location is a bit close to the center, so I think the price if reasonable

There is none that I didn’t like.

Most of the people in his staff were very good. But one person gave me great mental pain. I was sleeping on the bottom bed for three days. Because I have a fracture in my leg and there was only one girl in the room besides me. Four days later, when I returned in the evening, my belongings were on the top bed and some were on the floor. When I went to the reception. So there were two young men. One of them rudely said that we don't have any bed downstairs. Book a separate room. If I had that much money, I would have taken a separate room in the first place. But the other young man helped me and took another 18 euros from me and gave me the lower bed in the other room. I don't know what these 18 euros were for.

Everything except the stairs and the front of the building and in the lobby. 😩

The stairs in the front of the building and just after you enter the building 😩

Everything is 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hostel is easy to locate (CLINK Hostel light/signage is already visible even if you are still at the ferry ride) Location is perfect, very close to the Central Station. Check-in was smooth & quick (although it was self check-in, HUGE thanks to the staff during my arrival & departure!) Wifi is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staffs at the reception are very helpful,friendly accomodating & cool, you can feel that they love what they are doing. Keep it up guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elevator in a hostel is superB. I have stayed at 4 bedroom-girls, they have cabinet to store extra luggages, also my trolley fits under the bed which is very convenient. Beds are very comfy. I like that I get to arrange/fit the clean linens on my own, since it was provided when I arrived. There are plug ins on each bed, for usb/adaptor :) En-suite bathroom & toilet are very clean Common area/lounge is very huge. Canteen at the basement is a place to eat/relax during the night. Lockers are very convenient as well, you get to store your luggage for only 3.5 / 12hours They have iron as well at the reception, borrowed it & it was very convenient for travellers, thank you! Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed my entire stay, will surely come back!

Nothing

Location was great, very central, easily accessible, loved the breakfast buffet, plenty common areas to hang out, and staff was polite and helpful.

At first I booked 14 bedroom dorm, but it really wasnt good for 14 people staying in it, it was too hot and too small room, so I wouldnt recommend staying in one, especially for the price you are paying. I was lucky enough to have the staff upgrade me to a 6 bedroom dorm and I payed the difference.

Decided to extend my stay since this hostel embodies the traits I love: friendly staff, chill vibes, competitive prices, comfy beds & clean facilities.

Nothing. Had an amazing stay, can’t wait to come back!

The location of the hostel is very good. it is near to the ferry boat which takes you to the city center. there were lockers inside the room and they were big enough to put your luggage. The room was very clean and it was comfortable.

The place check-in time is 16! I think it is late. The towels are available if you pay for them otherwise you do not ave towels in the room. Also, we reserved two rooms and one of them does not have soup in WC!

Walking distance to the old city hub through ferry that runs free 24hrs. It is also close to some (relatively) newer attraction such as ADAM, underground nightclub, EYE and This is Holland.

Check-in time is 3pm which is awful. To make things worse, most travellers with confirmed booking and upfront payment were made to wait 4-5 hours until their rooms/beds were ready.

The hotel is new, perfectly designed with lots of facilities inside. The location is very close to the central station just by a 3-min walk to the boat station and a 2-min boat ride, and it’s free of charge!

I booked a private room that there was a private shower inside, but there wasn’t any curtain and the glass only could cover half of the shower so the floor was always wet after shower. The room was a bit dusty but in general it was clean. There wasn’t any table or chair inside so the only place you could sit was on the bed.

The staff of this hostel was very kind and helpful. Also, I liked the night activities plus the fact to have a bar and a restaurant on-site. The place is also perfect, only minutes away from Amsterdam Central if you take the ferry F3. I advise also to take thé breakfast which is nice and offers à big diversity.

However, I found that the matress was a bit hard. And I didn't like that I had to pay via crédit card also... even though a lot of places in Amsterdam accept only cashless payments now. Those are quite minor points compared to the rest, though.
