Need to get a tram from the main station! Really big hostel. cool reception area with comfy sofas, magazines and internet! Breakfast was included, managed to keep some for lunch on the sly!! Good music in reception area! Good, cheap food in the bar, wedges especially!! Shower and toilet weren't great, very cramped!! Lockers in rooms weren't big enough for... more

Only one restroom and one shower are insufficient for 6 person, particularly if the cleaning is not daily. Small lockers. Otherwise the general atmosphere is friendly and respectful, and the common areas are wide and modern. The location in a park is perfect. more

As this was the first part of our Europe trip, we decided to go cheap with the accomodation and booked this hostel. Was already expecting to "rough it out" but we were pleasantly surprised arriving at Stayokay. The plus points 1) The atmosphere was nice and warm (especially since it was freezing cold outside). Nice to hang out at the... more

I booked online before arriving in Amsterdam, panicked that most hotels and hostels in the city seemed booked up. This was a major mistake, not only because there were many more available hotels to find when I got to the city, but also because Vondelpark immediately charged the whole amount to my credit card for 4 nights. I had to... more

Stayokay was my first hostelling experience and boy was I ever traumatized. My bf booked a "mixed room" so we could both enjoy the hostelling experience. I ended up being the unlucky (or maybe it was lucky) one that got to room with NINE other males! This was only the beginning. It was strange how when we checked in, they... more

The Stayokay Vondelpark hostel is by far the worst hostel/hotel I have ever stayed at. They have ridiculous policies, such as "no food or drink allowed in the hostel" and a cancellation policy that might as well not exist. My travel companions and I tried to cancel our third night at the hostel 48 hours in advanced which, in my... more

My husband and I have stayed at hostels before but this time we took our three kids- ages 8 to 14- and found it to be a little too basic for them. It was safe and the location was great but too spartan, too many rough looking young men hanging around- although we never felt threatened or unsafe. The staff... more

If refer to hostel standard, this is a pretty good hostel. This hostel has been managed professionally. The room is clean, equipped with 1 bath room and 1 toilet. Everyone will get a clean sealed bedsheet whever they check into room. Each one also has their own wardrobe. Breakfast is good. Location is not bad either. Amsterdam is small, every... more

Hostel staying isn't for everyone. Other than the prospect of meeting fellow travellers (the main reason I choose to stay in Hostels) , for the price you pay for a couple, you're better off getting a single room at a budget hotel for marginally more. It'll probably keep the more squeamish one in the relationship saner, and thus both of... more
