Great hostel, the breakfast was good, location was great, rooms were okay but the beds were awesome. Only downside was the price and lack of kitchen to use - but the Hostel's and campings in Amsterdam all seem to have that in common. The cozy reception in which you could just chill and smoke in the sofas with friends, and... more

if you're going to Dam, it's not to stay in your hostel!!! Right??? so Bob's it's perfect: 5 minutes to Grand central, in the center, but still quiet street. the room it's OK, but don't expect a nice bathroom ( one shower for 16 ). the breakfast(includ) it's ok!! it's a small place but the staff is good and nice!... more

dirty rooms, no breakfast, annoying room-mates, and the unfair staff sold our beds during the second night. that's my suggestion: AVOID BOB'S YOUTH HOSTEL!! more

Bob's is a great hostel for solo travelers. I went there alone and met tons of people in the 'lounge', there were lots of young people and solo like me. The location is good too. Close to central station and the tram is litterally right out front. With all the young travelers there was also some pot smoking in the... more

This was the very first hostel I every stayed at. As such, I did not know how to compare it to others. At the end of my month's stay in Europe I came back to Amsterdam fly back home and ended up staying here again! First, the place is definatly "NOT" for everyone! It is a laid back kind of... more

I didn't book my stay i really just walked in and i found the people working there to be really helpful. For a hostel is is a bit overpriced for what you get. (around 22 euro per night)I didnt shower while i was there becuase it was pretty dirty. The FREE breakfast is just two pieces of bread, jam and... more

This hostel is the WORST place I have stayed in. It's completely dirty, the staff is not really friendly, the reception is through a bar which smell to marihuana constantly and it's small and dark. I shared the room with 14 people more in a kind of block separately from the rest of the building. That was worse than to... more

I think that tells you all you need to know about this place. Ugh, I got locked out once because of their stupid curfew!! I'm not sure if they still have that. Oh, and come prepared to deal with bedbugs. No, those aren't mosquito bites!! In all my return trips to Amsterdam, I've steered way clear of this [--]. more

To be perfectly honest this place is hell! The people at reception were terrible unfriendly, the room that we were in was filthy and the bathroom was worse- any of the people that had stayed there before us who had left toothbrushes/ clothes- all of their stuff was still in the room! So the bathroom was complete with 13 complimentary... more
