Had an excellent stay! The location was perfect, close to the city center but far enough to be quiet and pleasant in the evenings. Staff was incredibly helpful as well with making changes and giving info. The dorm beds have a great amount of privacy with the curtains and walls as well. Definitely recommended!

I’ve stayed at three different hostels in Amsterdam, and without a doubt, Onefam is the best. If you’re looking to meet people and have fun, this is the place to be. The staff are fantastic, and Agustin, the manager, is especially helpful.

This hostel felt more like a hotel in many ways, I stayed in the 4 bedroom female room. Inside the room was clean and the facilities in the lounge and bar were great. The staff were very helpful, and were available 24/7. The metro and train stations are a 9 minute walk from the hotel, then you can catch direct airport train from Diemen Zuid, or direct to Amsterdam centre using Venserpolder station or Diemen Zuid.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
