Reviews and Ratings
This hostel is a fun, lively place, ideally suited for those who enjoy socializing and partying. The staff members are exceptionally friendly and genuinely invested in creating a great atmosphere. However, if you value quiet and cleanliness, you might want to look elsewhere, as the noise level can be overwhelming, especially during parties, and I noticed some cleanliness issues in the bathroom and on the bedding.
This hostel delivers a fun and relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for both party lovers and those looking for some peace. The staff really make an effort to create a welcoming vibe, and the breakfast is delicious! However, the bathrooms could use a thorough clean more frequently, and the noise from the dorms can be disruptive during the night.
My stay at this hostel was simply fantastic! It's just a short walk to the beach and has an amazing bar scene in the evenings, which makes it easy to meet new people or just chill out with a drink. The rooms were cozy, and I found the shuttle service to be super convenient for exploring the area. On the downside, booking a space at the bar can be a bit tricky if you're not prompt. Overall, it’s a great place I’d definitely return to!
I had a unique stay at this hotel that truly lived up to its descriptions online. The atmosphere was refreshing, and I appreciated the complimentary ear-plugs for a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast spread was decent, and having access to a kitchen was a nice bonus, although a bit more variety in breakfast options would have been ideal.
This hostel in Noordwijk is a hidden gem, offering a cozy atmosphere and a fantastic beach nearby. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful, making you feel right at home. While the vibe is more relaxed, there are fun activities like beer pong if you feel like partying.
