Questions? We’ve Got (Almost) All the Answers.

Think you’ve outsmarted our FAQ? Hit us up, and we’ll sort you out.

Check-in & Check-out
What time can I check in?

You can check in anytime after 2 PM. We’ll be here, waiting for you to arrive.

We’re open 24/7, so you can check in late! Check-in is until midnight! If you plan to arrive after that, please let us know. Just don’t wake us up at 4 AM, please!

Late check-out is €12.50 (subject to availability). We get it—you’re having fun, but we’ve got a hostel to clean, so make sure you’re up before 10 AM

Sure, we’ve got luggage storage! Just drop it off at reception before or after your stay. No long-term storage though.

Rooms & Facilities
Do all rooms have private bathrooms?

Yep, all rooms have en-suite bathrooms that you’ll be sharing with your dormmates. No need to sprint down the hall in your towel—unless you really want to.

Yes, we’ve got you covered. Towels and bed linen are included, so you can leave the heavy packing to someone else!

Hairdryers are available at reception for a €15 deposit. But let’s be honest, the wind in Amsterdam does most of the work.

You bet! Every bed has a locker. Bring your own lock, or buy one from us at reception. We know, not the most thrilling souvenir, but it works.

Groups & Events
Can I book a room for a group?

Absolutely! We love a good group. Hit us up for rates and availability. 

Yep, we can organize events like parties, meetings, or something wilder. Let us know what you want, and we’ll make it happen.

Totally! Throw a private party here. Just check with us first and don’t break anything (or do, but we’ll charge).

Parking & Transportation
How do I get to the hostel from the airport?

From Schiphol Airport, take the Intercity train to Amsterdam Centraal Station (approximately 15-20 minutes). From there, board Tram 2 or Tram 12 and get off at the Keizersgracht stop. Walk left onto Kerkstraat, and after about 100 meters, you’ll spot our yellow ‘HOTEL’ sign.

For personalized public transport routes, check out 9292.nl, the go-to Dutch travel planner. They also offer e-tickets for seamless travel.

Yes, the Vijzelgracht station on Metro Line 52 (North-South line) is an 8-minute walk from us. But honestly, you probably won’t need it—Amsterdam’s center is best explored on foot or by tram.

Walk, bike, tram, boat—your call. Walking is free, biking is fast (and fun), and trams are great when your legs give up. No need for tickets—just tap your contactless card or phone when you hop on and off. For detailed routes and schedules, 9292.nl has got you covered.

Let’s be real—parking in Amsterdam is a nightmare. We suggest you look into Park and Ride spots outside the city. We can help with the details when you get here.

Yes, bikes are available for rent! We’ll set you up at reception. Good luck staying upright.

Need a cab? We can call one for you. Just don’t miss your flight, OK?
