Amsterdam Hostel Annemarie

Appallingly rude welcome displaying thinly veiled anti-tourist sentiment, with the dodgy addition that full payment has to be made by cash-only, falsely advertised the rooms, wafer thin mattresses, and moth-eaten rags as 'towels'. There is literally zero reason to go here and every reason to avoid; however cheap it is: Do. Not. Go.

Arrived at the hostel and I had a really bad gut feeling. They refused card payment and sent us to an ATM to pay for the rest of our stay. Staff were very cold and odd. Got to the room, 5 bunk bed, 3 beds high in a small room with no aircon or fan and a tiny locker to store your stuff. There was one tiny toilet/shower room (which was dirty) between these 15 people. When you showered you were basically standing on the toilet. One sink the bedroom. I slept here one night and every time people entered the room, the entire bunk bed shook. No where private to get changed so had weird men watching you. Was absolutely boiling over night and had to sleep in the bunk with my bag as there was nowhere to put them. Ended up leaving and booking a different hostel as I was dreading going back there to sleep. Overall, bad vibes, bad facilities and so so claustrophobic. PLEASE save yourself the money and book elsewhere. Female traveller, 23yrs, stayed in 10+ hostels before.

In terms of a place to stay, it ticks all the boxes. The hygiene on the other hand is another story, apart from the fact we were moved rooms whilst out of the hostel, loosing a pair of PJ’s and a fleece in the process and not informed untill we came stumbling in at 0400 our new room had a genuine villain in it. When we awoke at 1000 the next day we found that one of our lovely room mates had Pooed, yes POOED 💩 on the floor of our room before making a quick exit. Not just the floor the door handle and sink. Once we escaped the room we informed the staff who were less than surprised. Still got the deposit back so 10/10 for customer service. Overall not a bad place to stay a bit far away from the centre so is an absolute trek to get back if you can’t obtain a taxi. Beds are comfy enough and showers do the job.

Hi I’m here more then one week nice and quiet place easy access to supermarket surrounding by cafe restaurants bakery and more …, most important very close to the city by walking. I find It nice clean and tidy the staff so friendly and polite and very helpful.
