Insider Tip

Stayokay Amsterdam Stadsdoelen

Stayokay Amsterdam is a no frills hostel that offers basic rooms at a good price. The central location can't be beat. You can walk to most of the tourist attractions around town including Dam Square, the Red Light District, and the Royal Palace.

The staff here are friendly and helpful. There's a cafe and bar on-site where you can grab a bite to eat. There's also a pool table if you want to challenge your friends to a game.

The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has smaller dorms that sleep 5 or larger dorms that sleep up to 20 people, with everything in between. The price includes free linens and a reading light with each bunks. The rooms are basic with no real furnishings, but the price is cheap and the mattresses are decent. Some of the rooms have views that look out on the canals. Security lockers for your belongings are available right outside the room in the hallway.

Bathrooms

Shared bathrooms are available right outside the rooms in the hallway. There's enough showers to accommodate the crowd and the bathrooms are cleaned frequently. Towels are available for rent if you didn't bring one.

Restaurant

There's a small cafe and bar available on-site where you can grab a quick breakfast to go. It's perfect to eat outside or on your way to your day's adventures. The bar is a nice place to hang out but it closes around 11 PM so it's not a place you go for a party.
