Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Oost (Zeeburg)

I stayed 6 nights! It feels like home. There is such a nice calm vibe, even when they’re groups in the building. Just don’t forget your sleep mask and your earplugs for even more rest (default needs). But the nights were already calm. The staff is so helpful, pleasant and kind. The building is amazing and there is always a corner available to chill in. The location is not to far from the city. If you bring your bike or hire one it’s only 10 min to central station

Our group loved the rooms with the 'upstairs' beds even though there was little storage. The organisation concerning room keys and meal times was very efficient. Good vibe. Entrance hall, reception & reception staff, sitting/playing area and bar welcome guests. Centre of town easily reachable by public transport. We were on a 5-day-ticket - perfect.

Absolutely loved my stay at Stayokay! It turned out to be a total gem. The staff were super welcoming and gave great tips on what to see and do nearby. The rooms were clean, the beds comfy, and I really appreciated the lockers for my stuff. The common area had such a relaxed vibe — there are so many cool restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Also, shoutout to the breakfast in the mornings. Life-saver. Would 100% stay here again if I’m ever back in town. Great value, chill atmosphere, and just a fun place to be. Thanks for everything!

We stayed at this hostel during a school trip and had a good experience overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Ventilation was limited, the windows could only be tilted open, so it got a bit stuffy without air conditioning. We had to keep the window open at night, which meant some noise from outside, but that’s to be expected in a city. The common areas were really well designed and equipped. Breakfast was excellent. In the evenings, they showed football games in the lounge, which was a great way to hang out with others. The location is convenient: just 10–15 minutes to the city center by public transport or bike. The staff was helpful throughout our stay. All in all, a solid place to stay if you're visiting Amsterdam, especially for groups or school trips.

The hostel is a bit far from the city center but easily reachable via tram and in a very cute residential neighborhood. The rooms are very nice, although the bathrooms are a bit sparse. Lockers and sheets were provided but guests have to bring their own locks, shampoo, towels, and make the bed up themselves. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was amazing, really worth the 10 euro price. The staff was respectful and always ready to help. The location was great, about 45 min of walking to get to the city center and this was great since Amsterdam is a beautiful place with a lot of road walks. The room was nice, it was comfy and had everything one needs to feel well in a foreign place.

We booked a three night stay with six people. The staff and the service is really great. Very friendly and accommodating. They offered me a free drink for my birthday and gave us some nice recommendations for local restaurants and cafés. The lobby has a nice vibe and is great for hanging out, working or having a drink or something to eat. The location is fine too. You can reach the inner city in 15 to 20 minutes but it is a little off the beaten track if you want to be close to the center. One of the only downsides were the rooms and the hallways. We shared a six bed room. It is nice that we had a private bathroom however the room and the hallway outside were really stuffy and smelly. And apart from a small window in our room that can be slightly opened there is no way to get fresh air in. It got hot and stuffy real fast with that many people. There is also no ventilation in the bathroom. So once again it gets really stuffy and hot and it also smelled a little bit like urine. For the beds you get fresh linen but the bedding itself should be cleaned once in a while too. My pillow had a really bad smell despite the fresh pillow case. If the bedding is cleaned more often and if the room were less stuffy this would be a perfect stay for groups. But it is still a nice stay for bigger groups and if you want to save money.

On the whole it’s pretty good, but we saw a mouse in the lobby and we’re guessing it was mice that were making the light tapping sounds in the walls of our room. The water in the shower also switches between cold and scalding at random, and when the toilet is flushed it splashes on the floor (even with closed lid). Lastly our bottles and cans that had deposit on them were stolen by the cleaning crew. It’s an experience. The price is the best you’ll find in Amsterdam though. We’d come again, but a visit by an exterminator and a plumber should precede our visit. The area is nice, not so touristy, more of the real Amsterdam with cute cafés and the Dappermarkt close by and a lot of trash on the ground.

They do price gouge for everything. The breakfast was amazing. Great location! Safe and secure!

Shower was weird. You had to keep pushing the button for water to come out every five seconds. It was super annoying. There's only ONE mirror for a shared room for 6 girls. Add more mirrors please! Tram stop was right in front of the hostel making it super easy to commute. Weird that the bar closes before midnight on a Friday night. Bartender wouldn't let us buy bottle beers. $8 to rent a towel. No lockers. Just cubbies.

Ok no. Don't come here. I booked a six person dorm here and it was kind of a disaster. First of all, the the girl at the counter was really rude. Her credit card machine wasn't working so she told me sorry you cannot stay here if you're credit card doesn't work. After about twenty minutes of getting it to work she was still rude. It was so bad. The room itself was ok, it was narrow but clean. There was no ventilation in the room so it was really muggy for six people. However, they do have a really good breakfast and the hotel itself isn't too shabby. If it weren't for the breakfast, I would give this place one star. Unacceptable customer service and I will not be back.

Not the worst hostel we've stayed at but if you stay here expect to be nickel and dimed. Their prices aren't that much cheaper than comparable hostels yet they charge you for everything. We stayed in a private two person room and were forced to pay €4.50 per towel we used and an additional fee for soap. Also the beds aren't made upon arrival and if you don't leave the sheets on the floor you are subject to an additional "cleaning fee." Also "no outside food or drinks allowed."

The value for money for this hotel is really good! The room has everything it needs and there are very nice lounges on the ground floor. The staff are friendly and everything is well organized. Gladly again!

The breakfast was pretty good and the hostel is in a great location! Quick bus ride or walk to any part of Amsterdam. The 6 bunk beds were decent (it's a hostel) and the shower was a little small but it's clean and the staff are helpful. Definitely a good bang for your buck!

I went on a tour of Europe with a group of 20 people and 5 of the girls got BED BUGS after staying here the first night. This made the rest of their trip awful. The location is decent but I do not feel that the safety standards are acceptable for people to stay here.
