Bob’s Youth Hostel

cooles Hostel für junge leute die nur kurz schlafen gehen um nichts verpassen zu wollen. Im Eingangsbereich ist es aufgebaut als wäre man bei einer Collegeparty, wie man es sich vorstellt aus amerikanischen Filmen.

I must say this place is a go to spot for firet timers in their early 20s. The rooms were not so clean, bathroom wasn’t that clean either. The people were rather interesting and definitely there for a good time.
If you don’t have fun in Amsterdam, give up.

Mit Vorfreude ging es mit meinen Mädels nach Amsterdam.
Ins Hostel: Bob’s Youthhostel
Was uns erwartete war anfangs noch sehr nett, wir wurden empfangen haben am Empfang bezahlt und wurden dann ins Zimmer geschickt.
Wir haben ein 8-​Bett Zimmer ausgewählt.
Der Weg zum Zimmer war steil, bis man diese Treppen in einem gefühlten Winkel von 90 Grad ‘hochgeklettert’ ist
Naja zum wichtigsten — das Zimmer.
Die Betten sauber, komplett genauso wie die Bettwäsche.
Allerdings fanden wir im Bad Haare vermutlich von unseren Vorgängern, an der Decke konnte man die Wand vor lauter Schimmel nicht mehr sehen und im Bad gibt es keine einzige Steckdose. Am Fenster fehlte ein Vorhang und auch hier war der Schimmel nicht zu übersehen.
Das WC teilt man sich und ist außerhalb des Zimmers, hier funktionierte da Licht nicht und es ab keine Seife. Von einer Steckdose leider auch keine Spur.
Also ‘Mädchen’-freundlich ist es nicht und unpraktisch ist es für alle.
Im großen und ganzen das Geld nicht Wert.
Was man loben muss, die Lage ist mitten im Zentrum und auch unser Gepäck durften wir nach Räumung des Zimmers noch den restlichen Tag zwischenlagern.
Aber hygienisch nenne ich was anderes.
The facts in english:
The beds in our room were clean.
But in the bathroom and in the room was mildew on the wall!
In the shower there were hairs from other guests an on the toilet there was no light and no soap.
The good thing is the location in the Central.
Altogether I think, there exist other hostels for less money– because 90 € for each person per night is a little bit to much !
Your Lola,
Eure Lola!

This is a rally good hostel. Chill staff, clean sheets (hugely important!!!) towels for 1 €, cheap Heineken in the lobby/​hangout space, and no cigarettes allowed! They clean the rooms and shower each morning. Weed is allowed after breakfast. :) I stayed for 8 nights due to other plans not going through. the hostel was accommodating to letting us stay for a few more days. Nice reception staff! Other travelers were cool during my stay but that all depends on when you go and who else is there. Hostel does have rules while being chill though. Such as no 19^th century driving gear allowed.

Dirty as HELL and simy. They send you into a dorm of thrity people and tell you what bed to sleep in. Guy underneath me climbed into the wrong bed and the fucking hotel manager woke him up at 2 AM and starts arguing with him LOUD in a crowded room full of sleeping people. What the fuck?

Can’t beat the location and the laid back atmosphere, and for the price this place was perfect for a few young backpackers. Definitely not the cleanest or nicest hostel in the area but the friendly staff, cheap beers in the lobby and awesome location made Bobs a perfect spot to stay for young travelers!

STAY AWAY – felt like I could have been in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Amsterdam Slaughterhouse.
Only place we could find on short notice on Spring break after the Flying Pig filled up on us.
Aside from the disgusting communal showers, I remember some Asian dude kicking our door down at like 6 am saying we had to get out. I thought he was going to go Mr. Myagi on our ass. Then he left… We got the ‘f’ out of there.
Sleep with your clothes on and your electronics in your underwear at this place.

On my very first trip to Amsterdam, my friends and I were looking for the cheapest places possible, and Bob’s Youth Hostel totally fit that bill. We stayed there for 2 nights, and managed to get a private 4-​person room with it’s own bathroom/​shower. Not too shabby.
The place isn’t the nicest, but the prices are right, and you get breakfast with the price of your stay. Plus, the downstairs lobby/​lounge is a pretty chill spot for resting between outings, playing cards, planning your next adventure, and meeting cool people from around the world (which is really the best thing about hostels anyway).
And it’s directly across the street from The Grasshopper (the better location, in my opinion).
