ClinkNOORD - Hostel

Staying at ClinkNOORD Hostel in Amsterdam was such a fun and memorable experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the friendly and upbeat staff, who were always ready with a smile and great recommendations for exploring the city. The location, tucked away in the trendy Noord district, gave me a chance to experience a quieter, more local side of Amsterdam while still being just a quick (and free!) ferry ride from the bustling city center. What I loved most about ClinkNOORD was the vibe—it’s lively and social without feeling overwhelming. The common areas, like ZincBAR and the library, were perfect for meeting fellow travelers or just relaxing after a day of exploring. One evening, I joined a live music event at the bar, and it turned into one of the highlights of my trip. The hostel also organizes activities like walking tours and cocktail workshops, which made it easy to connect with others. The dorms were clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches like privacy panels and USB ports by each bed—small details that made a big difference. I also appreciated how secure everything felt, with lockers for my belongings and keycard access throughout. If I had to nitpick, breakfast was decent but not amazing—I ended up grabbing food from local spots instead. But honestly, with so many great cafés nearby, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, ClinkNOORD felt like more than just a place to sleep—it was an experience in itself. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, it’s the kind of place where you feel at home while still soaking up Amsterdam’s unique energy. I’d definitely stay here again!

A lovely, welcoming hostel with loads of events every day, a nice bar & lounge area. Great location as it’s super close to Central Amsterdam, and it’s nice to get the ferry back and forth into town every day. Right by an incredible museum too! Had a really nice stay here.

poor service and location is walking a lot
