ClinkNOORD Hostel

Incredible location for where we were working during our stay, so accessible. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Beds were comfy, lockers were large, en-suites were fairly practical. Different room options were useful and in abundance, nice mixture of people, young and old. Mixed 8-bed dorm was spacious and practical. Great social space, bar and check in/ out service. Fun social events in the evening.

The rooms were fairly clean and the en-suite was cleaned daily but not to a very high / thorough standard. No where dry to place personal items in the shower room. Each bunk was allocated a locker but they were all taken by first people to arrive in the mixed dorm. We were in a mixed 8 bed dorm which was not ventilated sadly and consequently smelt awful. No microwave or communal kitchen to use if you wanted to prepare your own food.

Location

Noisy, sound proofing between rooms is very poor. Overpriced for what they offer.

It is pleasantly simple to find the hostel, and it is delightfully convenient for the city centre, being located literally just a matter of five minutes walk to the free ferry service which runs all night to the Central Station.

No complaints really, just a slight warning to the unsuspecting. Hidden costs can mount up if not careful e.g. people arriving before the 3pm check-in can use the reception area lockers to stow bags but these are chargeable according to duration of use. Having paid, I found that my two small cases would not quite fit in the space available, so I lost my payment. So I purchased a padlock for the locker associated with my bunk in the dormitory, but it was smaller than the reception area lockers, so I couldn't use it. I managed to get refunded for the €6.00 cost of the padlock, but only with persuasion. There is a charge for a towel too, so bring your own. Breakfast cost €9.90 and could have been better for the money.

Staff!

Problems with cleanliness and organization; there were four of us and they forgot to reserve our room, resulting in overbooking. The women's bathroom didn't have toilet paper, the shower water was sometimes cold, and our floor was flooded with a horrible smell coming from one of the bathrooms.

The cafe and bar area was very good. It was clean and comfortable.

The facilities were very clean and it was a very relaxing place to stay close to all amenities but away from the chaos of the city center

It was a little small in the bathroom

It is close to the Amsterdam Central yet surrounding was quiet and calm

No microwave available to reheat food.

breakfast was good for the value. Location was perfect.

there is no elevator to get to the lobby. Those stairs can be tough for people with lots of luagguages like us. The room was too hot and the A/C did not work well even in winter time

The friendliest staff, one if the best breakfasts spreads ive seen, you get so many options its insane. Comfortable and daily cleaned.

I think some of the things can be tweaked a bit, like in the toilets and showers, you can see they are worn out.

The location is really great and easily reachable from the Central Station. The corridors and rooms were clean. Although lightening around the rooms could be better.

The bathrooms and toilets did not have toilet papers or hand wash available for the whole duration of my stay. They were empty and no one bothered to replace them from the house keeping despite being present on the location.It was very difficult navigating around the entire hostel floors to find a bathroom that had papers or soap available.

Great location

We were at a private room, the bathroom was smelly and we found ashes in our room. It was ok-ish for the price. Prior to our arrival I requested a change date and agreed to pay the rate difference but they decline it, (it was my mistake and I understand that i paid the non refundable rate, but anyway so you know that they decline those type of requests)

Room is good and clean.

It can be a curtain between beds for privacy

Breakfast, clean room, happy personel.

Lobby and location

Rooms! Very congested, zero privacy and the bed were very uncomfortable especially the mattress was made out of stones.

Location and price

Most of the electric sockets didnt work

Very good

The thing that bothered me most during my last three visits was the excessive noise in the corridors, with people shouting, swearing, or running around.

Location is excellent, the food in my opinion no healthy options,and expensive

-will be very nice if can include breakfast if wanted.-alwais when you work with customer service is better if you are kind and smile and more when is people who is visiting your country for the first time.

The hostel had a great atmosphere — friendly, respectful, and very clean. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the city on foot and by public transport. The beds were comfortable, the facilities were well maintained, and I felt safe throughout my stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it, especially for solo travelers.

Gnerally everything was amazing. Staff, facility, etc. Breakfast was great. I'll recommend anyone to get the brakfast for all days they're there since it costs you 1 EUR less for an advanced reservation at the reception. Beds are a little on the harder side, which I personally prefer due to my back. I slept well. Rooms have good temperature controls.

I had an issue with the soap dispenser of my room's toilet. It wasn't working like it normally should and was leaking soap. I did complain on the first evening I was there, and till the end of my stay, nothing was done about it. That was the only slight sad thing about the stay, so I'd have to use the common toilets instead of the one in my room. Luckily they were usually clean and nice. So no big deal but that was the only sad thing.

Lovely staff,good location,very clean

Hard beds
