What guests liked

All you need to know

This hotel typifies the Amsterdam hotel; hospitality at its best. Located in the northern part of the city, and a few minutes from the back of the Amsterdam Central Station making it very accessible. The hostel is so accessible you can reach the premises in less than five minutes on foot after taking the free ferry across the IJ River.

The hostel is a mixture of modern Dutch-style and traditional Dutch design offering a friendly atmosphere. The traditional Dutch design is very obvious in the 1930’s laboratory building which is still retained in the present hostel. One of the interesting features of the old laboratory is the stained glass window which creates a rather impressive and exciting to view.

The hostel offers a restaurant, a bar/lounge area designed to keep guest relaxed and refreshed, a coffee café for some early morning refreshment, a common area, meeting rooms and a library/workspace so guests have a place to stay in touch with their work or business. Available in the common area are a microwave and a refrigerator.

The hostel has dormitories of 4 to 14 beds which includes some girls’ only dormitories and private rooms. Most of the dorms in the hostel are en-suite and also contain lockers that are big enough to keep your hand luggage.

At the ClinkNOORD, you can’t be bored. Every night, there is always an event such as solo traveler meetups, cocktail-making workshops, live music and also a number of DJ sets. Any event night in the hostel is the perfect place for you to meet new people of different origins, cultures, languages and stories.

Confused staff but everything else was fine

Great location, not far from the city centre. I was only travelling through and needed a place to sleep that was not too expensive. Everything worked out perfectly.

I could not sleep that well because of some noisy guests but that is not the fault of the accommodation. That is the risk if you stay in a 14-bed dorm. Additionally, at the reception, I was told that I had to pay extra to use the luggage lockers (my luggage was too big for the free ones inside the room). But when I went there, another employee came, asked me if I was a guest and let me use it without paying. So in the end, I didn't have to pay extra to leave my luggage, but it was a little confusing.

Ideal for groups, very close to train station on the ferry, a bit of a walk into the city which is fine if you don’t mind walking!

Overall great places to stay but a lot of noise.

Great amenities, very warm and comfortable bedding. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The only negative was that it was very loud and I was woken up a few times during the night because of loud noises.

Nearly perfect experience

The staff of this hostel was very kind and helpful. Also, I liked the night activities plus the fact to have a bar and a restaurant on-site. The place is also perfect, only minutes away from Amsterdam Central if you take the ferry F3. I advise also to take thé breakfast which is nice and offers à big diversity.

However, I found that the matress was a bit hard. And I didn't like that I had to pay via crédit card also... even though a lot of places in Amsterdam accept only cashless payments now. Those are quite minor points compared to the rest, though.

Fabulous

Clink Nord is the former office building of some company focused on electric energy. Rooms are pretty comfy, bathroom has a bit unusual showers with motto "water everywhere"... but for hostel is really good. Location is in Nord, you must use ferry from Cebtral, what is fine for tourist and also a bit uncomfy for longer stay. The hostel has unusual 3 floors lobby with many attraction, big library, billiard, many board games, comfy furniture, downstairs bar and small restaurant for breakfast. Reception has also bar with coffee, cakes, baguette. Many automats with classic staff (candies, colas) ... Using Goki app, and check in DIY, do it yourself check in, is cool and looks like future of staff, also 24/7 is security there and reception staff is very helpful, change room was possible, also they find me room if my digital check in was collapsed ))) I was there 2 times or 3 times... Close many party clubs, basement club is cca 20 mètres, famous tower with view restaurant and swings etc.

Location is close to many attraction or 5 minutes by ferry from central station but it's a little uncomfy using ferry also one of the ferries ⛴️ ended in different spot, close Albert Hein cca 5 km from hostel, be carefull... Goki and DIY is fine, but for app you need mobile phone with free space, not low battery and other staff, not everytime it's possible but advanced travel knows Hostel is pretty big, clean but not has bike rental or spot for bike is still full, if you borrow bike in city is pretty expensive and bije must be back around 17:00, but maybe something change. Hostel had female room but nobody control it after DIY check in, and once I ended there ))) cause not mentioned that I booked vrouwen kamer and girls watched on me shocked 😲😳 a little backward situation... but it was explained...

Good clean hostel. Nice location.

Location is very good. Directly on the opposite side of Amsterdam Centraal with a ferry. Nice views to the big canal. Filmmuseum beside. Room are good and clean, although not very big. Beds are comfortable. toilets/showers are modern and clean. They are both in the room and some extra in the hall. Also there is a nice very big hall and lobby with the bar, where u can sit. Doors have electronic locks, which is good. Also room has lockers, but u need your own lock for that.

Beer is expensive. Also no possibility to make free/cheap coffee/tea. There is some space for cooking by yourself, but not much. The breakfast costs 10€ and is actually not much for the price. Almost 40€ for the room price is expensive for winter, but it's Amsterdam, what u can do. Fot that this hostel gives u some level of comfort.

I'd stay again

Excellent. Very friendly staff. Lively vibe, yet not overwhelming. Cafe, amusement, activities... nice.

Maybe a few more hooks in the room, otherwise there is no where to lay or hang anything. Small ones on the inside of the bed privacy board, or a second one on the outside of that board. I relaise the effort to keep things put-away, It rained a lot, clothes were wet and needed to hang a bit.

Facilities were great, staff were lovely but room was a very dirty with no toilet roll or body wash. Closeness to the ferry is great. Reasonably priced

Location is good, not far from central station.

Service from staff is not friendly, although everything is automatic operation(eg check in, luggage…), with some explanation will be better.

Clean, value for the money, friendly, and courteous staff and a great location.

The place is huge, and there's something for everyone. I extended my stay there twice. The location is a short ferry ride across the river to the main station.

Breakfast was surprisingly lacking. Not much for choice.

The location was very close to the center. The facilities in the hostel were very good. The surrounding area was safe.

Check-In and Check-Out times can be adjusted a little more.

Very good

I did like the localisation, the stuff were amazing, mainly the stuff from the bar and restaurant. The barman was amazing. A very good, kind and interactive guy. I was travelling alone, but I could talk to him while he was doing a great drink for me. I really had fun. P. S the barman name is Michel.

Well, I think breakfast could have more options in terms of breads, cakes and diferentes things like this. Sometimes looks like the options for fruits, salads and things like that have preferences on the menu. But, it's not like the breakfast there is bad...far from this. I just think would be better to have a little more of options. That's it
