About this hostel
What could be more fun than having your home base in the heart of the city that never sleeps? Stay in a historic canal house and discover the capital as a true backpacker.
Staying in Amsterdam
Enjoy the historic buildings and the beautiful museums. Take a boat trip through the canals, walk through the city parks and shop in the old town. Stayokay Amsterdam Stadsdoelen is located right in the center. Waterlooplein, Nieuwmarkt, Dam, everything is within walking distance.
In the hostel
Stay affordably in one of the shared rooms and meet other travellers. After an intense day, chill out in the bar.
A new look with smart choices
In 2024, the hostel underwent a complete makeover. The building is now gas-free and uses solar panels and a heat pump. Can you spot the rainbow art wall ‘Message on a bottle’? It’s not a message in a bottle, but a work of art made from plastic waste!
What to expect
- Lockers in the hallways
- Laundromat
