Dutchies Hostel

Very chill atmosphere

The staff was super friendly and helpful! I liked that guests were encouraged to leave things they cannot take for use of other guests. The fridge could be cleaned out more often since there was no space and it would be amazing!!! If there was some space to sit down or put down stuff in the women's shower room.

Great vibes

Great spot! Super friendly staff, cat is a great plus. Good kitchen, and hot water better than most places I’ve lived haha.

This hostel was not in any condition to be asking users to pay over $60-$70 CAD a night — the location of the hostel is in the west side of Amsterdam, near Sloterdjik, far away from all central action happening in the city of Amsterdam. Not only that, but the group of goons who hang out near the area are a sketchy bunch of individuals — they seem to be on first name basis with the staff, but it made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe how they openly let them roam around the hostel and bug residents for their leftovers in the ashtrays outside. The hostel just attracts a bad group of characters overall; if you don't care for cleanliness, good amenities & facilities, loud until late into the night and the bizarre crowd it generates, then book this hostel. Also worth noting, the place is super humid, there are mold growths a bit everywhere in the showers/bathroom. The rooms are very simple lay-out & small, but it does the trick! One positive note is that there are nice communal spaces, the kitchen is well-equipped and the reception can hook you up with food for a low price & other last-minute things you may need (toothpaste, flip-flops, toothbrush, etc.), and the hostel is right next to a cheap grocery store as well as a number of nice parks :)
