This place is super hip! Perfect for young travelers. A lot of great amenities and activities on property.
I didn’t get to use most but very nice.
I came as a solo traveler on my first international trip so I booked a single room with private bathroom. It was really nice, clean and ac worked well. I have a beautiful view of the canal. The location was great too. Free ferry right across from the Amsterdam train station.
I would definitely stay again!

Room was not available at 3pm check-in time so had to wait half an hour. Once the room was made available, there was a problem with the drain which was backed up and making it horrible smell so we had to insist on moving room.

Shower still did not drain properly in the second room, but did not smell as bad. Room generally clean but very basic, would not recommend 😞

Emplacement génial, mais pas d’air climatisée (durant une canicule) et voisins très bruyants. Bouteilles d’eau disponibles dans une distributrice mais 5 Euros la bouteille. J’aurais apprécié une fontaine d’eau pour remplir nos bouteilles, mais je n’en ai pas trouvé. Beaucoup d’activités, endroit très sympathique.

You simply get what you pay for. I stayed in a dorm room and that was my first time in a hostel so I didn’t really know what to expect. Took me back to uni days, except where you don’t know anyone and they all come in at different times. I knew that going in though, but I just think it isn’t for me. With that being said it really just boils down to the people staying there. Some people don’t have bathroom etiquette, while others do. There was a chain smoker in the bathroom that was closest to me and left buds all over the floor. It looked like a crime scene. But again that really isn’t the staffs fault, it just comes with the type of place it is. The times I talked to the staff they were extremely kind and helpful!! Overall, location is amazing, and if you’re looking to meet new people this is probably the easiest place to do that. My only gripe is really the cleanliness of the toilet rooms sometimes and some of the shower rooms don’t have ventilation, so it smells like such.

The front desk lady straight up lied to us and told us our stay was cancelled when it was not. There was many communication issues and the banana cake tastes really bad. The showers are also bad they flood the entire bathroom floor and doesn’t have hair dryers but the room was freezing. Also the laundry machines were broken and many trash was left behind in the bed when we checked in

We stayed in a private family room with ensuite. Look, the hostel itself is great! Had a lovely girl check us in which set a welcoming tone. We had low expectations of the actual room and it matched our expectations. Utilitarian rooms that serve a purpose, sleep and shower. The bathroom was a bit yuck but ok. We all slept pretty good. Surprisingly well behaved backpackers, no drunken noise - different to my generation! My kids aged 12 & 14 felt safe. Ferry across from Amsterdam station was super easy, convenient and it runs 24/7 at no cost. Supermarket behind hostel. Washing facilities available but didn’t use as it was always busy. The most affordable accommodation in the whole of Amsterdam and I do recommend it for short stays with family.

Clean hostel with normal amenities, but it was very expensive compared to other hostels I’ve been to. Yes, Amsterdam is generally more expensive, but for the price I’d expect better. One example: in the dorms, beds do not even have privacy curtains nor a headboard and you have to pay extra for a bottom bunk.

I stayed at Clink for about a week and as a solo female traveler I felt very safe. The Noord area i would say is very family oriented, lots of parks, and the vibes are really cool. The beds were surprisingly very comfy and i would say the only bad thing about my room was the fact that the beds didn’t have curtains, but after a day or two i didn’t mind it at all. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming and always happy to help. They have laundry facilities and it’s about 5 euros for a wash and 3 for a dry and the machines work great.

A well-established hostel with a friendly, welcoming vibe. As a solo traveller, I appreciated the option of a female-only dorm. Any extras beyond bedding come at added cost—can’t remember if this is common among hostels in general, as I haven’t stayed at one in over 10yrs; but it’s worth knowing to budget accordingly. The bed was comfortable and the blanket was the perfect thickness and weight. My room locker was spacious enough to hold my carry-on-sized suitcase, my standard-size backpack, and my lunch bag. The hostel is located close to Centraal Station; check-in and check-out was efficient, with staff close by to answer questions as needed.

The staff are simply the best - friendly and cheerful - while also being helpful and courteous. The common space is large and well-designed, with many small pockets of activities to engage in. It has a great balance of little cozy nooks to relax in, lounges for small groups, spaces for families with kids as well as large groups, and little workspaces for those on business. There's also a turf-covered atrium for a little cardio or yoga. Its location - walkable from Amsterdam Central Station - makes it ideal for not just trips around the city, but also for short trips around the city, or for a transit in Amsterdam on your way to the rest of Europe.

Location in Noord is great. Condition of the building, going down hill quick.

Whole building was super hot on check-in with no option to cool the room or open a window.

Not that it applies to me but the womens only section security doors were not fucntional so no real seperated area. We still walked through it to our room.

The biggest kicker is that there was no hot water and barely any cold water the morning after a 12am checkin and before an appointment. No maintenance staff on a sunday meant no real chance of getting it fixed.

Staff was responsive and calm and we did get a refund from hotels.com and all city taxes refunded from the hostel when we decided not to stay a second night and to find another spot.
I had to fight for it a bit though.

Will not be back or recommend it. Hotel next store though was 👌

The location was very good, just outside of the main city center. Its right next to the tall outlook, right next to the (free, 5 min long) ferry to downtown.

I arrived early and had a question about the lockers. The person at the desk was very rude and seemed annoyed that I was even speaking to them. I asked a question about the lockers and their answer was \"there's a screen\". Not only did it not answer my question, it was very off putting and set the tone for my stay.

The place seemed very safe and theres a grocery store around the same block, making it easy to go out and grab a snack.

I stayed in a single room with an attached bathroom. It was very clean, the bed wasnt terrible, but I didnt find it difficult to adjust the air. After my check in experience, I didnt want to have to speak with them again, so I dealt with it.

Checkout was very easy and the person at the desk was very pleasant this time. All you had to do was drop your room card in and leave!

ClinkNOORD Hostel is absolutely beautiful. I stayed in a 4 bed female room with an ensuite. The beds were comfortable, we each had our own locker to keep our belongings safe (note bring your own lock). The best thing about the bathroom was the toilet and sink were in one room and the shower and sink in another. This was a brilliant idea. I rated the staff with 4 stars because of one person who I met on my arrival, I had taken an overnight flight from Canada. Arrived there at 12:44 pm wet from the short walk in the rain from Amsterdam Centraal and the female clerk told me that I can’t check in until 3 pm because I didn’t pay for an early check-in. She did not welcome me or say that I could wait in any of the common areas. At that time, I didn’t know that I could have waited in the common area. I didn’t feel welcome and did ask if there was a place I could put my suitcase. She gave me no eye contact and abruptly said I could put it in a locker out by the door. So I paid €4 to store my bags. Went back out into the rain feeling exhausted as I had a long flight and went into a venue close by called “This is Holland.” The staff there welcomed me and even though I didn’t buy a ticket to there interesting Holland experience told me that I was welcome to come in to dry off. I stayed there for 3 hours until 3 pm and then was checked in by a kind and welcoming male staff. Every one of the staff for my 3 nights were lovely. The facilities are fantastic. I will return!

Pros: really cool, modern facility with many rooms to hang out in, including a bar/game area, open-space lobby which has sitting space, a café & a pool table, an additional open-space game room for people to chill in, and many bathrooms & shower rooms throughout the hostel — bike rentals — near convenience stores, restaurants & public transportation — lively — hosts games & various activities

Cons: the cleanliness of the rooms & facilities are sub-par; I've seen mold in numerous showers near the ceiling due to little ventilation, no toilet paper refills, they don't provide you with much amenities — people are, and will be noisy past \"curfew\" due to the nature of a \"party hostel\" — no microwaves, usable kitchens or fridges which isn't great if you're trying not to spend an obscene amount of euros for food — the staff is nice, but sometimes during interactions I felt like I was bothering them with simple requests.

Overall an average hostel, I enjoyed my time there and it's in a splendid location! However, I do believe there should be greater emphasis on helping solo travellers mingle and maybe not have children stay at the hostel if you're advertising yourselves as a \"party hostel\".

I really loved this accommodation but I can’t give it a full 5 stars because our room specifically didn’t meet the highest quality which was disappointing.

The room was dusty and I didn’t feel comfortable moving around. No towels or toiletries provided even though it was stated they were for private rooms. I had to ask for them at reception but I was even given a dirty towel so I had to go ask again for another one. I told the receptionist about my concerns and they said that housekeeping will just refill the toiletries/towels but no housekeeping checked our room at all until the very end of our stay.

I really liked everything else about this accommodation and I just wished my concerns were solved during my stay. I’d love to go back here when I’m in Amsterdam again but I am hoping your rooms are presented to the highest standard next time.
