Hans Brinker Hostel Amsterdam

The price are good. The bar is nice and have good prices also.

The bathroom is small and get to wet after shower. The toilet had no lid. The heating was not so good.

The staff was really nice and helpful.

My uncomfortable stay was entirely due to the context of my situation. I just needed a place to crash for a night so that I could pick up a friend from the airport early the next day. First I got placed in a mixed dorm where I was the only woman. I walked into a room full of shirtless men who all knew each other and didn't expect me. Since I was the only person in the room they didn't know, they all wanted to get to know me, when all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I asked for my room to be changed, which was possible. I was surprised to find nobody in my new room until a few hours later when I was woken up by another group of people who all knew each other and were surprised to find me sleeping in "their" room. I ended up pretending I was asleep, and they spent hours in disappointment, because they clearly planned to party all night in the room. I felt unwelcome and in the way. I never had a situation like this before in other hostels, and maybe it was just bad luck. Either way, I don't feel good about booking here again.

that breakfast was free

the downstairs toilets were so unclean
