A budget hostel on Warmoesstraat, one of the oldest streets in Amsterdam, five minutes' walk from Centraal Station and Dam Square and on the edge of the Red Light District. It has dorms and private rooms, free Wi-Fi, and the Sláinte Irish pub downstairs.


The location is hard to beat for the price, but it's a lively street, and the bells of the Oude Kerk nearby ring through the night. Amsterdam fills up quickly at weekends, so book well ahead.
