Hotel Details

Location

Less than 200 metres from Leidseplein, within a 10-minute walk of Museum Square and Rijksmuseum. The main shopping street Kalverstraat is 15 minutes on foot.

The hostel sits in the heart of Amsterdam's nightlife and entertainment district, with Leidseplein at your doorstep - meaning trams to Central Station (10 minutes) and the city's major museums are all within easy walking distance. The Anne Frank House is 2 km away. The immediate area is filled with bars, pubs, and a coffee shop, so street noise is a factor, especially at night. Those wanting a quieter stay should consider a room away from the street or plan for the lively atmosphere.

Dining

No breakfast or restaurant on site. Tea, coffee, milk and a microwave are available at reception.

The hostel does not serve breakfast, lunch or dinner, so you will rely on the surrounding area. Within a 0.5 km radius there are numerous dining options: De Blauwe Hollander, Pancake Corner, Cafe De Spuyt, Barbeque Castell, Sumo Amsterdam Leidseplein Sushi & Grill, Castell, Lee Ka Chu and Dubbel Restaurant. The free coffee and tea at reception can help start the day without immediate expense.
