Great, cosy hostel. The beds are very comfortable and everything is extremely clean. It's definitely worth the price and it's very-well located, close to tram stops to get you into the city center. The staff were very friendly and kind; overall the ambiance was extremely calm and positive. Thanks for a lovely stay!

I have previously been to several capsule hotels and this one is by far the best :) Everything was very clean, the beds were comfy, the checkin/checkout process simple and fast and the staff extremely friendly (I even drank my coffee in the morning with one of the owners on the house :)) I'll definitely be coming back given that for the low price one really gets great value and service :) P. S. If your neighbors snore, you can always get ear plugs at the reception free of charge ;)

I stayed in a 6 bed- female only dorm and it was amazing! The aesthetic of the hostel is really cute and it was right in the red light district and near central station. On a Friday night the area is really lively. The hostel itself was really clean & the staff were super friendly. Showers were great too.

I enjoyed my stay at Ecomama. The location of this hostel was effortless to navigate and offered excellent access to many hubs for museums, restaurants, public transportation, shopping, and so much more. I was a solo female traveller and felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. I booked an all-female room. My roommates were friendly and easygoing. We even went out on my last night. The common areas and kitchen were free-to-use by all the guests. I was able to cook and enjoy the spaces without any worry. I didn't have too much interaction with the staff, but they were great and kind throughout my whole stay. All the photos online are exact depictions of how the hostel is decorated and oriented. I truly recommend Ecomama.

All hostels in Amsterdam

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
