At Heart of Amsterdam Hostel, reviewers highlight the central Red Light District setting with easy walking access to sights, while feedback consistently praises friendly, helpful staff and generally clean, updated rooms, though noise and steep stairs feature in some stays.
Room comfort and size vary, from very comfy beds to small or uneven rooms. Breakfast is available but feedback on quality and variety ranges from decent to very basic. The lively area can feel chaotic at night. Expect a straightforward base for sightseeing.

In the very center of the red light district (meaning, you are surrounded by brothels and weed stores - wasn’t a problem for us though), pretty good room (large, with stable beds and a table). No kitchen, just a microwave in the breakfast room. Normal sized towel included and toiletries in the bathroom. Could be cleaner and the lockers are too thin to fit a backpacking backpack.

This hostel met all of our needs. It is right on the edge of then Red Light District, so quiet a lot of people around, tough to drive to because of the very narrow streets & masses of people. They had a valet service to park our car, but was $45/day. Lots to do and see from this location within 30 min of walking. No elevator in the building, so be prepared to lug your bags up several of flights of stairs.

Pros: 24hr helpful receptionist, super central location, my room was not disturbed by outside noise (other rooms may be) bed was clean and average for mattress comfort. Stayed in 12 bed dorm with 2 showers and toilets which was fine. Breakfast €10 is buffet continental with decent coffee. I paid nearly €5 for a black coffee at the end of the street so this was worth it for me :) Cons: it’s the Red Light District so pls be vigilant of dodgy characters outside especially at night. The man child sleeping on the bed above me was making phone calls in the middle of the night and woke me up several times (not the hotels fault - they have good house rules posters around so pls respect the rules)

Booked the three bed en suite for a family trip to Amsterdam. The room was very small, however we paid a great price for a very central hotel. The room was spotless and the beds were very very comfy! We had a bedroom facing onto the ‘courtyard’? Which was the back of the hotel and there were no issues with noise from the Main Street even with the windows open. Would recommend if you’re looking for a budget friendly accommodation in the centre.

O hotel atendeu super bem para uma noite. Quarto limpo, equipe super educada e gentil, localização muito boa para os passeios diários. Não tenho nenhum ponto a reclamar do hotel!! Mas gostaria de deixar um aviso para os viajantes solo como eu: Uber/táxi não passam nessa rua, então caso tenham um voo de madrugada, melhor se programarem para não ter que caminhar de madrugada até a estação.

No kitchen, just a microwave in the breakfast room. Normal sized towel included and toiletries in the bathroom. Could be cleaner and the lockers are too thin to fit a backpacking backpack.

Nice property in the heart of the red district. Your are literally in the red district. You will hear people walking in the middle night . Didn’t bother me actually it adds to its appeal . But it’s just me .Budget friendly. Rooms and bathrooms are up to date. If this is the kind of accommodation fits your taste and budget Not a bad place to stay just know what your getting . I saw more mature / older people in this hostel.

Este local é um hostel, estava sozinha e fiquei num quarto com 2 camas de solteiro. O Atendimento foi ótimo, como não sabia falar a língua local, nem inglês, quem me atendeu se comunicou comigo pelo Google tradutor e deu tudo certo. Precisei fazer várias perguntas para o atendente, e ele sempre me ajudou com muita atenção. Pena que não peguei o nome dele, mas se não me engano, ele é do Iraque (ficava na parte da tarde). Ahh, quem estava hospedado na frente do meu quarto, batia a porta fortemente, a ponto de incomodar demais, quero dar a dica de deixarem como norma, não baterem a porta forte, já que o sistema de fechamento das portas já faz barulho. Quero deixar meu agradecimento pra este atendente porque ele também foi pedir para este hóspede ter cuidado ao bater a porta, porém o hóspede era um muito mal educado, porque continuou batendo 😬😩 No geral, foi uma boa hospedagem. Vale lembrar, que ela é no centro e perto de tudo. Minha hospedagem tinha café da manhã incluso, que era bemmm simples. Não sei se porque procurei muito em cima da viagem, mas achei as hospedagens em Amsterdam muito cara(paguei mais caro que na Suíça).

O hotel atendeu super bem para uma noite. Quarto limpo, equipe super educada e gentil, localização muito boa para os passeios diários. Não tenho nenhum ponto a reclamar do hotel!! Mas gostaria de deixar um aviso para os viajantes solo como eu: Uber/táxi não passam nessa rua, então caso tenham um voo de madrugada, melhor se programarem para não ter que caminhar de madrugada até a estação.

This hostel met all of our needs. It is right on the edge of then Red Light District, so quiet a lot of people around, tough to drive to because of the very narrow streets & masses of people. They had a valet service to park our car, but was $45/day. Lots to do and see from this location within 30 min of walking. No elevator in the building, so be prepared to lug your bags up several of flights of stairs.

Pros: 24hr helpful receptionist, super central location, my room was not disturbed by outside noise (other rooms may be) bed was clean and average for mattress comfort. Stayed in 12 bed dorm with 2 showers and toilets which was fine. Breakfast €10 is buffet continental with decent coffee. I paid nearly €5 for a black coffee at the end of the street so this was worth it for me :) Cons: it’s the Red Light District so pls be vigilant of dodgy characters outside especially at night. The man child sleeping on the bed above me was making phone calls in the middle of the night and woke me up several times (not the hotels fault - they have good house rules posters around so pls respect the rules)

La ubicación es perfecta, en el centro de todo. En pocos minutos caminando puedes llegar a cualquiera de las atracciones en la Ciudad y tiene la estación de Metro Rokin bien cerca. Las habitaciones y los baños están remodelados. Incluye desayuno, muy bueno. Ya te ahorras el tener que ir a un restaurante. Si solo vas como yo a dormir, este Hostal es ideal. La vida noctura la tienes al frente y a los lados,a unos pasos.

This is great location for those who like fun and crowd. Provide towel and shower gel and locker. Breakfast was somewhat slim. Nice front desk support.

Este local é um hostel, estava sozinha e fiquei num quarto com 2 camas de solteiro. O Atendimento foi ótimo, como não sabia falar a língua local, nem inglês, quem me atendeu se comunicou comigo pelo Google tradutor e deu tudo certo. Precisei fazer várias perguntas para o atendente, e ele sempre me ajudou com muita atenção. Pena que não peguei o nome dele, mas se não me engano, ele é do Iraque (ficava na parte da tarde). Ahh, quem estava hospedado na frente do meu quarto, batia a porta fortemente, a ponto de incomodar demais, quero dar a dica de deixarem como norma, não baterem a porta forte, já que o sistema de fechamento das portas já faz barulho. Quero deixar meu agradecimento pra este atendente porque ele também foi pedir para este hóspede ter cuidado ao bater a porta, porém o hóspede era um muito mal educado, porque continuou batendo 😬😩 No geral, foi uma boa hospedagem. Vale lembrar, que ela é no centro e perto de tudo. Minha hospedagem tinha café da manhã incluso, que era bemmm simples. Não sei se porque procurei muito em cima da viagem, mas achei as hospedagens em Amsterdam muito cara(paguei mais caro que na Suíça).

Extremely basic hotel in the heart of the red district. Very interesting location. Quite lively. Hotel is not much. Just not many options available around and everything quite expensive.
