I had a great stay at The Elephant Hostel in Amsterdam. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the place was clean, and the decoration was beautiful. It’s also very well located, close to many famous spots in the city. Definitely a place I would recommend!

I’ve stayed at three different hostels in Amsterdam, and without a doubt, Onefam is the best. If you’re looking to meet people and have fun, this is the place to be. The staff are fantastic, and Agustin, the manager, is especially helpful.

Our plane got delayed so we had to check in at like 2am. The staff was very nice about it and didn't make it a problem. We stayed in a 6 person bedroom but it was really no issue at all, they even have an extra toilet downstairs. I have to comment how to this day that was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in! All the beds also have little curtains and lights so you can do your own thing, and a lot of chargers! Chargers not only next to your pillow but also all over the room. The bathroom has a walk in shower which was cool. Especially loved the living room/kitchen. They have breakfast available till 11am if I remember correctly but we never took on the offer since we spent all our days exploring. I just need to give a little shoutout to the home cat Mishka who is so friendly and cute. They even have merch of her! Free wifi, breakfast, a cat, outdoor area for smokers, comfy bad, great location that's good connected to the city, LGBT welcoming, would love to spend my nights there of having the chance!

Had an amazing stay at this hostel, the whole place has beautiful decorations, with a the Dude theme from the movie " The Big Lebowski", they have group activities at the bar every night of the week, and the staff there is really helpful and chill. The facilities are great and the rooms very correct, I would only suggest that they add an extra step to bunk bed ladders, because they're too wide, and also the baskets in the rooms are not compatible with all the locks, so you'll more likely find yourself buying the locks they sell at the reception yo protect your stuff. The other roommates can be chaotic and loud but that's what you have to except from tourists on Amsterdam, but I also made genuine connections with some roomates there. For the location, it's a 40min metro ride from the city centre, which makes it just a little far, but the region is accessible at any time by public transportation

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
