I went with friends to Amsterdam and had a GREAT time, so funny! The city is cute and unique, the weather.. not exactly what you want when you're in vacation, but well, you can't change it. But OMG, we stayed at the Hans Brinker Hostel and it was awful. The receptionist was unfriendly, there are too many people in this... more

Man I didnt have a great time in Amsterdam. This shabby dodgy hostel didnt help. The staff was unhelpful, but then again most of the indigenous population was rude. Only ex-pats from other countries and the Dutch girls at the Heineken factory were nice. The rooms resemble a prison. The room itself was kinda clean but the bathroom had a... more

This hostel agreed is not the prettiest place to stay in and I certainly would not recommend it to families but for groups and solo travelers it excellent. The staff were as pleasant as they needed to be (i wasn't looking for a best friend) and the communal area was very large. The outside if delightful - perfect place to... more

We stayed here as part of a stag party. the hostel is very basic and we did suffer from bedbugs. It was also very noisy at night. If you are on a very tight budget or really dont mind where u sleep then stay here, if you like a bit of hotel style comfort then dont. more

The atmosphere was very good, although going outside late at night you have to tip toe for fear of waking up the neighbours. This led... more

Before leaving for my trip I had read that Hans Brinker was infested with bedbugs, that it was dirty, and that the staff were unfriendly. This is not true! Hans Brinker is simple, and worth the money. The breakfast is decent, happy hour is a great deal, and the people are very nice! It is also very centrally located which... more

If you´re not looking anything more than a place to sleep, you´ll be satisfied. It´s situated near the center and that´s the best thing about this hotel. And its price! Totally ok. more

budget holtels is budget hotels, but this one had a good apmosphere and some nice staff members more

Together with two friends, we’ve spent a Saturday night at Hans Brinker Hostel. We were only interested to have a shed for the night and we booked an ensuite three beds room comprising toilet and shower. The rooms are really basic but cleaner than they claim and we would have expected. The items on sell at the bar are cheap... more
