Hi Aidan, thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. Since Amsterdam is a city built on water and wetlands, there is a large rodent population in the city. We are currently working with pest control to solve the problem, and are nevertheless sorry to hear this experience negatively affected your stay with us. We indeed do not have air conditioning, but we do provide fans at reception that you can rent for a small deposit. During your next stay, feel free to come by reception and ask for one! Kind regards, Nadine - Front Office

Best sustai place to stay to get around Amsterdam
This eco-friendly, sustainable property is fantastic! They did above and beyond during our stay in Amsterdam. Saw my Fiancée birthday card upon entering our room. Very kind gestures. The property is conveniently located to many public transportations. Easily accessible to the museums and nice restaurants. Management and staff are superb!

A beautiful area and building, Stayokay Vondelpark Hostel was already a sight to admire. We entered to helpful and cheerful staff, who helped us find our room which was close by and accessible (our friend has knee issues so the lift was so convenient!) the room held all six of us perfectly! We had enough space without feeling cramped. We enjoyed the comfort of the bunk beds, the easy access plugs and the bathroom and shower facilities available inside the room. The hostel itself downstairs was beautiful, the bar area filled with plants and offering a clean and modern vibe to an old city. We enjoyed drinks and food in the bar/eatery area. The drinks were affordable and we felt relaxed sitting there. They even let us order takeout and allowed us to eat it in the eatery area! In a convenient area, right next to the park and tram/bus stops, Stayokay Vondelpark is a perfect place to stay either by yourself or like us, as a group.

Helpful check-in guy gave lots of recommendations, but when we returned in the evening, the guy on the desk at that time said we couldn’t upgrade to late check-out, without even hesitating or asking someone. We would’ve been happy to pay more for this. Be aware this is a hostel, not a hotel. Even to get a room to yourself, it is two single beds with single duvets, not a double as advertised. A bit saddening when you’re travelling as a couple - perhaps find a hotel instead. Location is near Vondelpark, which is maybe a 10 minute tram ride then a 5 minute walk from the city centre. The hostel rents out bikes; we didn’t do this, but a good little feature for those who would like to. We paid nearly £120 for this room for one night, which I think is WAY too overpriced. Perhaps because of the date, as most other hotels were sold out, but yeah I wouldn’t pay this much again.

ooops... one smear on excellence
Excellent location,, organization, security. Meals on-site - for a reasonable fee. The one complain I have is that on the day of the early in the morning departure, the bus stop of the airport bus was not functioning due to planned demonstration and the stuff at the desk this morning should have been aware of that and suggest alternative stop for this particular bus, which was available not so terribly far from the hostel. As a result a number of hostel guest were waiting at the usually recommended stop without understanding the info rolloing on the bus stop information table and waiting for the bus to arrive. Finally the passing police officers, when asked, providing the info about the alternatives. With so many foreigners staying in the hostel, the hostel should keep abreast of the public transport temporary changes and should be advising the guests obviously checking out at 6 a.m. that the closest bus stop is not functioning and what are the alternatives.

We had a private double room with toilet, wash basin and shower. Basic set up but all in good condition. The bar area is a nice place to relax after a busy day. Everything was nice and clean and it is in a superb location near Vondelpark. So much to see by foot and convenient for public transport. A 300m walk gets you to the bus that goes to the airport.

It is a hostel. The amenities are spartan but spotlessly clean. The breakfast service is quite good and reasonable priced. The only problem was noise at night. Our room was directly over the outdoor courtyard where people liked to gather . On two nights there were groups of people talking loudly until 2 or 3 a.m.
