Amsterdam hostels worth staying at (not ClinkNOORD vibe)

I’ve stayed at ClinkNOORD before and while it was fine, the 20 year old hallway parties are not it for me at 35. Going to Amsterdam again for 4 nights in August and I want a private room under 150 EUR in a hostel or small guesthouse that actually has a chill vibe. Somewhere I can get a decent night’s sleep and have a quiet breakfast without being handed a flyer for a pub crawl. Any specific names y’all have actually slept at?

Hi @debbie!
Finding a private room in an Amsterdam hostel under 150 Euro will be extremely difficult these days, I know, because I tried last year. I stayed in a hostel in a pod. It is called Bunk in Amsterdam Noord.

From my experience:

  • It was very quiet and felt more like an upscale hostel
  • They offer rooms, but I opted for a pod because of budget and it was great
  • There were people of all ages, not what I am used to in a hostel
  • The hostel restaurant and bar were fantastic! A highlight for me.
