Stayed at Bob's last month, the hostel is right in the center of Amsterdam nearest coffee-shop is literally across the road. Walking distance to all the attractions. Not the cleanest of places but had no problems with dirty beds or bugs. Showers are small but reasonable. Was worried about sharing with people, however 5 of us managed to get bunk... More

When we walked into Bob's we were greeted by a long dimly lit basement lounge littered with stoners, grafitti and marijuana smoke. Heavy psychedelic music was blasting as we met the dreadlocked member of staff behind the counter. After making our payment, we made our way up the long twisted stairs about five levels, when we eventually got to our... More

Well before heading off to Amsterdam I read the reviews of Bob's and was a bit worried, eventhough there was 6 of us. However it worked out perfectly. I would describe the setting as urban, however I can see why some of the reviews described the grafitii everywhere as something like a crack house but I though it suited the... More

After reading a few different reviews about Bobs youth hostel I must say I was not at all filled with confidence, but to be honest it wasn't actually that bad at all. Yeah it could have been a little bit cleaner and the breakfast was pretty poor but other than that everything was fine. Me and a friend stayed here... More

The bed rooms were clean and the bathrooms. The communal area was a bit dirty and you can smoke there but it was a good atmosphere and they had a useful luggage room you can use even after you check out.

I don't really understand all these low ratings. When you book a hostel what do you expect? Anyway, the hostel's room was same as a hotel's room, yet it was a bit dirty. The 'reception' is a cool place where you can enjoy the reason you are going to Amsterdam, with great music, munchies vending machines, and great atmosphere. Also,... More

This is a cool hostel... Breakfast included, with marijuana (which is part of the tourism in there) the middle east housekeeping workers were quite impolite.... good atmosphere anywhere... if u like hippy sytle.... good location...

Arriving at Bob's Hostel I quickly learned of Amsterdam productivity when it took over an hour to check-in due to slow moving staff members with a genuine disinterest in serving the Hostel guests. After the first night I woke up with bites all over my body and it quickly became evident that the bed I was sleeping on had bed... More

I came here back in Oct 2012 as one of my 21st celebrations with a friend. After doing my research and going with my gut I picked this one and reserved it for 3 nights. Of course we were on a budget so a hotel was out of the question but when we arrived I was surprised! The location first... More
