The 4 Best Party Hostels in Amsterdam (2024)

The 4 Best Party Hostels in Amsterdam (2024)
Even during historical times, Amsterdam earned a reputation as a party town. When sailors on old trading ships came into this water-born town looking for rest and recreation, the city provided prostitution, bars, and other various forms of entertainment. This culture of debauchery and artificially induced entertainment continues today along side Amsterdam's world-renowned art, museums, architecture, and culture. The famous red light district is perhaps more touristy than functional (but still functional). Combine that with the town's liberal views of inhaled stimulants, and you have a recipe for a good time, just as the old sailors did.

The following places to stay will not only serve as a springboard to the nearby attractions, but also help you meet other travelers to party with. Make some memories and have a good time, but don't go too overboard!
