We had an apartment for 5 persons. It turned out to be a 1 bedroom with a double and a single and a pull out couch for 2. The beds were fine but the 2 on the pullout complained about lack of sleep due to it being so uncomfortable. In the whole it was a large apartment by european standards... More

First of all, the beds and pillows are clean and super comfortable. I stayed in a private room en suite with my friends and everything was perfect! Don't forget the shower shoes though! Reception was very courteous and there is security. Great to know! The hostel has everything. You really don't have to leave the building to eat or smoke... More

Nice staff, clean by European standards room, although there was a stain on the floor (possibly sick :/). Cool bar downstairs & nice reception area. The smoke smell was contained very well (although a lot of us who go to Amsterdam don't mind it!) - you don't always want to smell it. The same company own the 'Energy' Coffee shop... More

I had read various reviews regarding this hostel but our party of 4 was all happily surprised. Located in the Red Light District, it is a 10 minutes walk from the Centraal Station. We had chosen an 8 bed mixed dorm and we were really pleased to find that the room was actually divided in two by the lockers. One... More

I have stayed in the Bulldog Hotel (hostel) on many trips to Amsterdam and to be honest I have never been disappointed. Reasonably priced for central Amsterdam. Nice bar with a pool table. Restricted entry to non residence after 8pm (i think) which is great as no Stragglers can come in. More

The Bulldog Hotel is definitely the place to stay in Amsterdam. If you want your trip to be unforgettable, out of routine then Bulldog is the right choice. To make it easier I will brake down the advantages in points: 1. Location - the location is just perfect. 10 minutes away walking from central train station, 2 minutes away from... More

The hostel is in a perfect position! The rooms and the clean are average, but there is a big common area where you can also smoke. The price is quite expensive compared to the accomodation, but you pay the brand and the excelent position. There is a lot of people so the good news is friends to hang out, the... More
