Good location and bar but not impressed with the room. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm which was too cramped and the bathroom was also tiny and unclean. The bunk bed did not have a ladder and all the lockers were either broken or could be very easily broken into. More

Myself and 7 of my friends stayed here for two nights to celebrate a friends stag do. Yes the place was a basic hostel, but we enjoyed our stay and had a great time and there was no curfew which worked great for us. The sign about the germs upon entering was amusing. Probably only worth staying here if you... More

Basic, low budget hostel. No nonsense.. Not the friendliest of staff, like they're doing you a favour to check you in and out, but overall if you need a form of bed and roof, this is just fine. More

Their tongue-in-cheek advertising for "mediocre cheap" is pretty much spot on... Graffiti everywhere, not-so-clean bathrooms, dimly lit. Bar area served decently priced drinks, but not a lot of activities were organised by the hostel. The rooms were very small and very basic amenities. Lockers very small and mine didn't lock properly. Some of my friends with bigger backpacks could not... More

I'm used to staying in 4-5 star hotels so this was a first for me staying in a hostel. I have to say I was quite hesitant but as it was a group trip I didn't have a choice. The location is pretty good. The bedrooms were absolutely spotless clean. I dont know why people are complaining about bed bugs,... More

Staying at the Hans Brinker Hostel was an experience I definitely could have gone without. I could have given up its great location easily. After the first night, I was suffering a total of 30 bed bug bites, as well as conjunctivitis from the pillow. The 'restaurant' was poor. Breakfast was a piece of toast and everything else had to...

The hostel mocks itself with posters claiming its lack of cleanliness, service and everything else but to be honest it wasn't all that bad. The hostel is simple, it provides beds, washrooms and breakfast, all that you really need. Yes it doesn't provide those things at a high quality but it gives you the basics whilst being in a nice...

It took me ages to find the hotel, non of locals had even heard of it. When we finally got there I actually walked passed the entrance at first because it didn't look like hotel, more like an unused office block with squatters. The inside wasn't much to look at either. Check in was easy, when we went to our... More

If you want to stay at a hotel in the middle of everything, I would recommend Hans Brinker. U can walk to the museums, Vondelpark, centrum, shopping and pubs in like five minutes. A hotel for backpackers as well as grown ups. (If you can tolerate a bit loud people partying around you in the evening;) I'll go back! More

Clean with almost comfortable bunk beds. Stayed for three night for a girls weekend. We booked a six person dorm with private bathroom. No problems finding it. Bar in the basement was a bit strange but the drinks were cheap. Would recommend it. More
