Amsterdam Hostel Reviews

... I know.  Here is a recap of my days in Amsterdam. I had some mixed thoughts about going to Amsterdam before I arrived - a lot of mixed reviews from different travelers. Some said that it was a beautiful city with lots to do and some said that ...

... behind and don't want to leave anything out so here's an update of the next few days in London, and I'll write about Amsterdam soon! On Thursday morning Julia and I caught the tube to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards, a ceremony thing ...

... in and out the stations and can be used on all transport. Price - 5, 10, 20. We got ourselves a single trip tix to amsterdam centraal which can't be tapped to enter. A guy who has the chipkarte asked us to follow him through the gate after he has tapped ...

... this folder called 'Ruled Out'. The next two months went in a flurry, a completely crazy time pouring over hundreds of hostel reviews, Eurail timetables, sightseeing websites and I felt like I had already seen most of the places I intended to travel ...

... . I had to get dressed and undressed in the shower because of that picture window. It put the women  living in the hostel on display like the whores in Amsterdam in the windows. One night I woke about 3 am to write a blog post. i could not get a ...

... some hostels but all the privates were booked because Metalilica has a concert here tonight. We didn't mind though because this hostel has received very good reviews online and the people staying in it all looked cool. So we decided to stay in the dorm. ...

... to seeing Rach and Lauren so much in September, but it still seems so far away at the moment. We almost saw Giulia in Amsterdam - we were all there for a crossover of a couple of hours one day without realising. We have seen Veronique and Michael, and ...

... night partying, stay up late wake up early days.  I think we will go somewhere less strenuous next time.     Amsterdam here we come, Yosh leaves this weekend on the train and I will meet him there by plane next week.  All ...

... shops and strip clubs, even some with chicks sitting in the window, and here we thought we'd left all of that behind in Amsterdam...So clearly we were not in the nicest part of town, but at least it had character. Interesting given that Austria and ...

... flight in tiny airplane seats so we could sleep.  That's pretty sad.  I've written TripAdvisor reviews of our first three (Beehive Rome, Le Village Hostel, and the Residence du Palais), but have yet to write them for Amsterdam, Brussels, and ...

... love to live here (who could blame him?).  It's some job involving traveling 2-3 weeks at a time and then returning to Amsterdam for a week.  I briefly considered killing him and taking his place - it sounds ideal!  I forgot to ask him what ...

... the scenery around us. We stopped at Mount Warning National Park for a picnic before going on to Nimbim (Australia's answer to Amsterdam). It was a cool hippy town, with brightly coloured shops and big blokes with big beards who told us folks to 'enjoy ...

... Amager.  It's probably the nicest hostel I'll stay at during this trip, although the one I'm booked at in Amsterdam had pretty glowing reviews in the guidebook.  We'll see. Since I missed out on the Carlsberg brewery tour on Monday on ...

... (Copenhagen and day trip to nearby castles) Germany (mostly just transit, but I'd like to stop in Cologne) Netherlands (Amsterdam, day trip to Keukenhof Gardens) Belgium (Bruges) France (Paris, Normandy) Switzerland (Interlaken, some small villages ...

... a place to sleep... Immediately as I got off the train at Bologna's central station the heat hit me like a forceful wind. Amsterdam had been so refreshing averaging in the 70's/80's with periodic rain cooling things off. Back in Italy and boy is it ...

... our next plane. We sat in a restaurant and drank Martini's!  So To Some Things Up Here are Some Suggestions, and Reviews of where we went... Amsterdam: AMAZING! to put it lightly. The city is really easy to get around, people are friendly, most speak ...

... for the location, but seriously.  What sucks is that you can never really tell from the reviews on hostelworld.com because people complain about every single hostel.  I wish they would only do that if it was actually bad like Ideal Youth ...

... was great! One thing we noticed was how lazy we suddenly became! Though both us felt like we'd gotten a good rest in Amsterdam, it was as if we were even more relaxed subconsciously here, and we often had trouble getting out of Sarah's apartment before ...

... to take Jims Alternative Nimbin Bus Journey....brave some may say! Nimbin is the biggest stoner town on the east coast - like a mini Amsterdam! We were very warey of what it would be like as heard mixed reviews but arrived to a real fun loving village (I ...

... the statues to take back to where they came from. I then caught the underground downtown to see some modern dance by Dance New Amsterdam and Keigwin&Company. It was a small theatre and I was sitting right at the front, which is one of the ...
