"I visited Bunk with two friends on a city break to Amsterdam. We had a lovely experience. We were able make use of lockers while waiting to check in, €5 for 6 hours, which was perfect as we had arrived early in the morning. The location of the hostel is ideal. It is a 5 minute walk from Noorderpark Metro station, which is one stop from the Centraal Station. We were close enough that getting into the city centre was convenient, but far enough out that the noise level was not too much when trying to sleep! The hostel is very close to a supermarket, as well as other shops such as Hema and Etos, and a very lovely bakery. It is a lovely neighbourhood and we never felt unsafe there.
We stayed in a 3 person private room, which was cozy, but for what we needed it for, perfect! My only advice would be not to book this room if you are not comfortable and close to those you are staying with! The toilet and shower area has frosted glass, but you can still see a lot from outside the bathroom area, and we often either used the toilet downstairs or asked the others to leave the room while we showered as we felt more comfortable that way. Maybe other people would be more okay with this, but this is what worked for us.
The staff are very helpful. We had issues with things getting stuck in the vending machines and they opened them up for us no problem. The sheets on my bed had slight staining, however it was nothing major. Other than this, the room was very clean.
I would recommend Bunk, especially the room we had, to a group of friends on a trip to Amsterdam, and looking for a place which is very central but not too noisy and busy. Thanks to all the staff who made our travels a pleasant experience!"
"Amazing place
Staying at Hotel Not Hotel Amsterdam was easily the highlight of my trip! It feels less like a standard hotel and more like staying in a living art gallery. We stayed in a [insert room type, e.g., secret bookcase room], and it was such a cool, quirky experience. The design is incredible, the bed was very comfortable, and the vibe is just so creative. If you want a stay you’ll actually remember, this is the spot!"
"It's a genuine Amsterdam experience, conveniently located just steps away from Central Station. However, my senior citizen parents found the two flights of cramped stairs challenging. Despite this, the staff provided helpful maps and dining suggestions. The bathrooms and linens were clean, and we enjoyed a generous breakfast. They accommodated our early checkout, and reception was available 24/7."
