Ideally located in Amsterdam, The Bee Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar. The property is around 1.6 km from Dam Square, 1.9 km from Beurs van Berlage and 1.2 km from Rembrandtplein. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Artis Zoo.

Everything was spotless clean; very friendly and welcoming staff; the most privacy you can have while staying at a hostel, really. Lockers on the floor. You have freshly baked croissants at reception - great way to start your day! The mushroom toastie is a must try as well. The zoo (Artis) is literally across the street - a great walk for a sunny day. Other must-see places in the city are about 20-30 min walk away, so decent location as well.

Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Oost offers spacious rooms and dormitories with a private bathroom. Some rooms and dormitories are wheelchair accessible. Please note that you need to bring your own towels. You can also buy them at the reception against a small charge.

Family of 6 in a 7 bunk room. I wasn’t sure a hostel would be ok for a family (61, 68, 40, 41 and two 14 year olds), but I was wrong. We loved it. Clean bedding provided. Comfy beds with own light and power point. Close to tram and trains and walking distance to restaurants, bakeries and bike rental. Large dining and lounging area. Let us house our bags before and after check in and check out. Music playing was unreal. Kids enjoyed fusbal. Free water to fill up water bottles.
