Stayokay Amsterdam Vondelpark

I stayed in this hostel for three days. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and very efficient. The room I stayed at was a shared, all female room I shared with 5 of my friends. There are bunk beds with power outlets and a nightlight which is great for recharging your electronics and reading. The place is securely monitored and your keycard is used for entry into almost every room, hallway, etc. this place is located next to vondelpark, a beautiful area for a walk and minutes away from Leidseplein square area — one of the most lively places in Amsterdam with tons of nightlife activity. The only downfall of this place is the bathroom area, only one mirror and when there are 6 girls trying to get ready, this can be very tricky and the shower is in a room which kind of feels like something out of a prison, though it was clean, just felt a little strange. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this place to those traveling to Amsterdam and will stay here again when I come back.

Hostel localizado praticamente dentro do vondelpark, não existe forma melhor de começar e terminar os dias com a vista ou um passeio no parque. Hostel grande, com café da manhã farto incluso (a comida tem boa qualidade e variedade além de possuir bastante frutas e pães orgânicos). Fora a vista para a natureza ao comer o café da manhã.
Quartos amplos, com lockers (cada um precisa levar seu próprio cadeado), vários banheiros por quarto. Possui elevador mas fica com acesso restrito das 08:00 as 10:30 para funcionários e pessoas com mobilidade reduzida.
Área comum grande e confortável, o bar possui um menu do chef que é muito saboroso e tem preço atrativo. Também recomendo os nachos do bar, são muito bons! Staffs são muito legais e atenciosos. Wifi gratuita, compra de ingressos, aluguel de bikes e lockers para pós checkout. Ambiente familiar e muito tranquilo.

Unterbringung für eine jugendherbergsähnliche Einrichtung gut aber auffällig steril, Frühstück an sich nicht schlecht, hatte nur einmal ein verschimmeltes Brötchen gegriffen — das muss dann echt nicht sein! Vom Abendessen ist abzuraten, da für so viele Menschen und bei dem Preis, verbunden mit dem offensichtlichen Anspruch, aufwändiges Essen zu machen, nichts Vernünftiges herauskommt und auch überhaupt nicht herauskommen kann. Ich sage nur: rohe Kartoffeln…
Der Preis hingegen ist für das alles sehr gut, zumal die Lage gut ist und mit der Straßenbahn auch gut angeschlossen ist. Dinge wie Computer, WLAN oder auch Schließfächer stehen wir selbstverständlich bereit. Alles in allem eine relativ angenehme Erfahrung, vor allem in Anbetracht des Preis-​Leistungs-​Verhältnisses. Die negativste Erfahrung war dabei das Essen.

Having never stayed at a hostel before I didn’t quite know what I would be getting but I expected it to be a bit on the shabby side. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to a clean lobby with friendly staff who checked us in without any problems.
Apparently as far as hostels go, this one is pretty big. Unfortunately we didn’t quite get the room we’d booked. I’d booked a 10 bed mixed dorm on the website but somehow ended up with an 8 bed all-​female dorm.
The dorm was spacious and clean, 2 showers and 1 toilet. Perhaps as a suggestion a female dorm should have more than one mirror, quite a few girls doing their make up and hair etc…
Breakfast was okay, a Dutch continental breakfast with a selection of cheese, ham, breads, ginger loaf, rice cakes, cereals etc. There’s a toaster in the dining room and coffee machine. Apple and orange juices are available and plenty of space to sit down to eat.
The hostel was in a decent location, buses and trams around the corner, just opposite the park which is massive. It’s a 30 minute walk into the city centre, nightlife, restaurants and casino a 5 minute walk.
The bar at the hostel was nice and cheap, especially during daily happy hour but it can be a little bit dead in the bar, they could probably do with trying to make it a tiny bit more lively. Bar shuts at 12.
Overall a great experience, other guests were really nice, made new friends. I’m sure I’ll be returning to Amsterdam at some point and when I do I will consider staying here again.

I am absolutely in love with this place. A huge old building that looks like a universitary residence in front of the Vondelpark so the location is perfect!
The breakfast is amazing! Even better than some all inclusives I’ ve been. They have all kinds of breads, eggs, ham and cheese, fruits, juices, cereal and great variety of coffees.
The staff is lovely, really kind people ready to help you and advice you. Rooms are big and nice, clean and complete with lockers and finally the lobby is a good place to know many people. I would totally come back and recommend it to everyone.

We stayed in an ensuite private double room and it was probably the worst hostel. We might have just stayed in a room with 10 other people. It was dirty and the hallways smelled like mold and feet. The lobby was the only place you could acceas wifi.
It is located at a good location. Right near a park and you can bike to the main areas.
I’d only come back here too use thier wifi. I wouldn’t stay here again.
