ClinkNOORD - Hostel

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.

Clean room though a bit small. Didn't use the bar or breakfast area. The staff was very friendly. The checkin system is digital/ automated

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.

Great location, just a 5 min ferry ride and a 5 min walk from centraal station. Quiet area but easy to get back to the centre.
