I stayed at the hostel for only one night as i was passing through Amsterdam, but loved it! In a very Onefam style, staff was super nice and facilities were great. Didn't participate in group activities this time around but the options are so fun :) I also really enjoyed the location, as everything was easy to reach but it wasn't in the very very centre. Will definitely come back if I ever travel back to amsterdam <3

As a solo traveler for the first time who had the experience of staying in a hostel for the first time as well, I enjoyed the whole experience and was beyond expectations. The room was a bit tight but extremely comfortable and quiet and I overslept.

My friend and I travelled to Amsterdam and absolutely loved Durty Nelly’s. We were in the top room with normal bunk beds and met several nice people, whom we went to the pub downstairs with. The vibes, drinks, and music were a perfect combo for some fun nights. Honestly, I did not love Amsterdam but would return just for Durty Nelly’s.

Our daughter joined us in Amsterdam after her stay in England. This place was next to our hotel, it was perfect for both her privacy and ours, it’s cute, clean, the staff was incredible, and it’s a great place to get your espresso for the morning before heading out.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
