Hostel Ani & Haakien

The hostel is well located and is very nice. What we liked was the attention of the lady because we were waiting for her to check in she told us not to sit down and disappeared, she had forgotten at 4 in the afternoon we just entered the room apart that the check in is normally at 2 pm here we could only at 3 pm. Apart from that, the attitude of indifference was remarkable. The person who attended the kitchen watched you all the time you did. It didn't feel a relaxed atmosphere.

This is such a cute hostel! The common areas, rooms and even bathrooms are so well decorated! Super cozy and inviting! And the hostel is very clean! There are social activities planned for every evening, so that's great if you're here to meet new people!

The hostel is one of the better hostels I've stayed in. They have a kitchen where you can cook, various dorm sizes and activities on throughout the week for people staying. The vibe is chilled but sociable if you're here by yourself. There is a garden and the inside and outside has a quirky decor style.

I stayed here during January and I had such a good time here. I've been to a lot of hostels and this was definitely one of the best ones I've stayed at. The decor is really cute, everyone is so friendly and the common room is quite large and the kitchen is really spacious and has everything you need to make a quick breakfast and they have a cat!

I stayed at this hostel for 6 weeks as an intern and it was truly the best weeks of my life. I was truly shocked by the quality of service and the staff is truly amazing. You feel a calming and friendly atmosphere. Truly, the best place to meet people and have a good time. I will return and thank you again to all the staff for their love and support.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in Europe! (I think I must have stayed in 20+ hostels). Staff was very friendly, and also not overly enthusiastic so you can rest after a day's travel. The whole hostel, including bedroom, shower and toilets, were very clean, even cleaner than a few hotels I've stayed in. They were also very accommodating, allowing me to stay in the common area and leave my luggage after I chucked out. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely stay here again if I'm staying in the area overnight. Heartily recommended!

I stayed here during winter and there was no noticeable heating anywhere and no hot showers. The automatic showers just don't work well. The kitchen didn't have a microwave. It's a good hostel to socialise with other backpackpackers and not to far from central station. The staff varied from very helpful to downright odd. Overall, I found the atmosphere somewhat superficial on the part of the staff. But I liked the wristband system for locks.

This place is amazing! Great vibe, a lot of cosy corners to chill along with a gorgeous patio and a beautiful cat called 'Suzy' to keep you company :) The staff are very helpful and understanding! - 0.420 points for not allowing cannabis to be smoked on that beautiful terrace, vaping and cigarettes allowed though! Definitely coming here again and i'd recommend the shit out of this hostel!

When two people have a common dream they sometimes create something magical. It might not always be perfect but then again nothing is. We all love those little flaws which make Ani & Haakien so amazing. Just like your home this hostel feels right. Nothing is too over designed and everything is where it should be. With just over 50 beds it also is not too crowded or cramped. Collaboration with the locals is the key to making this place even better. Man met Bril Koffie provides fresh coffee, Bored to Death book club installed a free library and local artists decorate the rooms with uniquely designed furniture. Every now and again they host musicians and they even have a yoga group. Ever so close to Rotterdam Central Station so you don't have to take your big backpacks all over town. Joyce and Danielle are happy to treat you to a fabulous stay and are more than willing to speak to you about their great little places. As seen on I Know This Great Little Place in Rotterdam!
