Extremely convenient for central Amsterdam, this rambling Christian-run hostel is just outside the Red Light District, but a world away, powered by religious zeal and operating a no-drugs-or-alcohol policy. If you can handle this, the payback is spick-and-span single-sex dorms (two to 20 beds, some with in-room bathrooms), free breakfasts, and a peaceful cafe and garden courtyard.
Towel rental costs €1 and you can buy locker padlocks for €4.
