What I liked was the spirit of the place. The staff was particularly nice to me. Not too exaggerated but really friendly. I first was served by Jules. They make me really comfortable and find a solution for my messy check in. David helps a lot too. No info was forgotten which didn't make me feel like: hu... If I knew....I think he is the one I saw the most. He doesn't like cheese. But apparently he likes carrot 🥕 no one is perfect hein. ! Wondering if the cat got a raise recently? Cause he did the best job ever!! More food for him!!!

Rating: 10/10 I had a fantastic stay at Cabins Hotel in Amsterdam. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The location is perfect—just 10 minutes from the city center, which made exploring Amsterdam super easy. The cabins themselves were spotlessly clean, very quiet, and offered great privacy. For the price, it was excellent value—comfortable, peaceful, and well-maintained. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm, convenient stay in Amsterdam!

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.
