Was an amazing time in Elephant Hostel. It’s the most beautiful hostel I've ever been. You have everything what you need to be confortable. What I like the most was the privacy in the rooms. You don't feel like you are with 16 people. Thanks for everything!

Rating: 10/10 I had a fantastic stay at Cabins Hotel in Amsterdam. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The location is perfect—just 10 minutes from the city center, which made exploring Amsterdam super easy. The cabins themselves were spotlessly clean, very quiet, and offered great privacy. For the price, it was excellent value—comfortable, peaceful, and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, convenient stay in Amsterdam!

So firstly, I want to thank every staff member I met for making my stay so memorable. Marian, for her lovely smile, Flora for her charm and helpfulness, Marta for her warmth, Jess for her friendliness, and Anna our conversations really stuck with me, and I appreciated every moment we shared. And a special shoutout to my brother Felicie, the bartender, who always knew what I needed, whether it was the right drink or the words that I needed to hear or a mixture of both.. Thanks guys, I needed all of that. I hope our paths collide in the future once again.

All hostels in Amsterdam

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.
