- Hostel seemed to be very clean; - Very friendly and helpful staff; - Shower with ok pressure and warm water; - Comfy bed and pillow; - One power plug for each bed and one in the bathroom; - One bathroom (toilet + shower) inside equipped with mirror, toilet paper and hand soap; - Great WiFi; - Lifts available for upper floors; - Breakfast was really good (fruits, breads, croissants, milk, coffee, water, juices, cereals, cheese, ham, boiled egg, cereals, salad, butter, jams), but I recommend going as early as possible because the line gets really long around 9.

I absolutely loved the vibes of the hostel! It’s super hip and I loved the staff running the bar! The girl receptionist was pretty awesome too!!! Heating was perfect for the showers! ‘Loved its proximity to the tram and metro... Their breakfast was awesome too!!! They also change the towels daily, and it’s always clean inside the room. For a solo traveler like myself, this hostel offers a good way to make some friends!!!

Everything was perfect, better than we expected!:)) Great location, staff, they tide rooms every day and got very delicious food in their hostel bistro (burger, fries, etc. were better than in another Amsterdam’s restaurants, that we visited and for better prices ofc). I think you cant find it better accommodation for this price 😊

- Space between lower and upper bed is very short (I'm 1.57m and couldn't stay seated); - There are big boxes under the bed where you can storage your things but it is not possible to lock the boxes so you better bring your own padlock to keep your backpack locked; - No hangers in the room.

We booked a twin room and they got us a really small uncomfortable room on the ground floor with no space for luggage and no space at all for 2 people; it felt like a cave. Besides that, it was just next to some rooms going through renovations and first day our room got flooded due some work being done. Lots of our stuff got soaked in wastewater! Absolutely disgusting. We kind of missed half day in the hostel dealing with all that; but the manager (Nelly? )was very responsive.
The location is good and it has a great breakfast. We had huge problems with the room; but there was a manager who promptly tried to make her best.

“I wouldn’t stay here again, even for a good breakfast”

There are no blinds and personal lights in the rooms. Also I got room on the ground floor. First day was okay, even I’m alone in 4-bed apartment. But on the second day there were troubles with water in the bathroom - it was not go away and stayed with smelling. After contacting the receptionist, I got promised to solve the problem. Coming to the room after 3 hours, my roommates and me discovered, that the water is still in the bathroom - it’s level was above the ankle. 5 minutes awaiting - and we got the flood all over the room, so we barely managed to save our staff to the hall. We were relocated to the 2nd floor and Each one got a free drink ticket, but my impression was spoiled. Please be careful about room #8 and nearby ones. Hope hotel will manage it as soon as possible.

I had a twin room just me and my friend and it was really clean and comfortable. The rest of the hostel seemed a little dusty and cluttered. But really, not a big deal. For what you get it’s actually really good value for money.
Great location, right in the centre of Amsterdam. It had a cool bar/lounge area and a decent outside smoking area.

The location is very good, nice neighborhood and it's in the Centre of the city. The staff is friendly, charming and willing to help you. It also has a bar with music inside. Breakfast is included, there's not a wide variety but it's nice. Cold water available during all day. We had a very good time, we would come back undoubtedly.

It’s a teen party hostel, definitely not suitable for older adults Staff were unfriendly (especially the guy on the night of the 11th of february, did not catch his name) They make you were a wristband to be able to access the hotel as if you were in a festival, really not appropriate for people who are in amsterdam on business like myself Room and bed were ok (private room) but noise all night from all the other rooms and guest (drunk teens mainly) Breakfast basic but good All and all, would definitely not recommend nor return

Since there was a bar apart of the hostel it got really loud at night which made it a little hard to sleep since the room I was staying in was on the first floor.

The only thing that's missing, in my opinion, is probably some cozy armchairs or sofas in common area to relax.
This was my 2nd stay at Hans Brinker and I would stay there again) The hostel is perfectly located in the center, staff is friendly, rooms are cleaned every day and they change your towels every day as well. There's central heating in the building (not sure if it's common in Netherlands) so it's not cold in winter. Breakfast is fresh and tasty.
