Since day and age, Amsterdam has been home to a happy bunch of sailormen, creatives, prostitutes, housewives, and buccaneers. Since 1970, it’s also the home of the Hans Brinker Hostel. Enclosed by canals and with the Leidsesquare (‘entertainment area’) 5 minutes away, the Hans Brinker Hostel Amsterdam is located right where you want to be.
So take a walk to the Wallen and crawl back. Start the day fresh in the Rijksmuseum and end up in a canal. Dive into Dutch heritage, or the Brinker heritage, for all it matters. Or keep it sophisticated, spend your money in a famous nightclub and sleep until your back starts to hurt. As long as you’re sort of OK we’re happy to have you.

IN CASE YOU'RE PICKY
Triple Private Ensuite

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
STICK TO THE HANSBRINKER BURDGET
The Hans Brinker is pretty well accessible with public transport. Take bus 347 or 357 from Amsterdam Central Station, get out at ‘Leidseplein’ and then walk 7 minutes to Kerkstraat. You’ll see our big yellow ‘HOTEL’ sign right away
Coming from the airport? You can take the train from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Central Station (€ 4,30 2nd class, one way)
Don’t want to walk that far? Take tram 2, 11 or 12 from Amsterdam Central Station and get out at ‘Keizersgracht’. Take the first street left (Kerkstraat), walk 100 metres, and you’ll see our yellow ‘HOTEL’ sign. Getting out is the same, just vice versa.
PRIVATE TRANSPORT
TAKE A RIDE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOUR ENTIRE STAY
Take a ride more expensive than your entire stay! Easy is expensive. At least, when talking transport. A taxi can take you from Schiphol to Hans Brinker (or vice versa) for about €35. If you can afford it, go for easy.
