Hostel Ani & Haakien

Thank You to the Hostel for 15 Unforgettable Days! We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the entire hostel team for their warm welcome and constant support throughout our stay. During these 15 days, we, a group from the French MFR, shared wonderful moments filled with discoveries, laughter, and great company. The friendly atmosphere, delicious meals, and beautiful setting made this experience truly memorable. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism. We are leaving with amazing memories and lots of stories to share!

The inside design and also backyard were very nice.They really deserve high ranking. The hostel has a very good safety. I was in the 2nd floor, the room was good and the only problem was not having elevator. The staffs were very nice.

Nice hostel with a lot of original design inside. The place is decorated in a very cool way with a kitchen in the first floor, plenty of space to sit and just chill, the dorms are in the up floors, individual showers and shared bathrooms. They offer a varied breakfast menu with vegetarian and vegan options. The bad thing is that you have to make your own bed and in the afternoon the staff closes the doors to don’t accept early check-in.

After a month-long stay I almost regret I've found a stable accommodation for my studies. The place is awesome and clean, offering a cozy retró-style common space with plenty of room for all the hosts, a nice and furnished kitchen, and a small room with a projector and sofas available for a self-organized movie night. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, nobody feels lonely here! Look after their weekly events schedule, they are a nice opportunity to meet the other guests! I 100% recommend, and I'll be back! <3

The only thing I did not like about this hostel was the situation with toilets. I would prefer separate toilets for male and females as opposed to sharing toilet. Other than that, the staff was amazing, very helpful, the activity calender looked fine. Def gonna stay there again.

I really loved this hostel, the interior, the design, the atmosphere are warm, welcoming and just overall really good vibes. The rooms, the showers and the toilets were always clean. Slept in the 12 mixed rooms, always felt safe. The staff was very lovely, kind and helpful.

I stayed at the Hostel for 3 nights and it was really great. This was my first experience in such place and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It is super cozy, the team was really kind and the location was really convenient ! Thanks a lot 😁

I don't even know where to start! This hostel is in such a good location near Centraal station as well as a close walk to shops, restaurants, and the city center. It's very spacious and CLEAN! The kitchen is well stocked and there's a chill garden area out back you can relax in. It's also social too with many events going on throughout the week (the Saturday walking tour is fantastic). But the best part of all? The staff. They were a great bunch of welcoming people who were always willing to help me if needed and were so easy to talk to. I felt so safe here as a solo female traveler and even extended an extra night because I loved it so much. When I'm back in Rotterdam, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

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!
