Stayokay Amsterdam Vondelpark

Practically in the Vondelpark, this HI-affiliated 536-bed hostel attracts a mix of international backpackers, families and groups. Renovated in 2018, it offers private rooms and fresh mixed, female- and male-only dorms sleeping from two to nine, sporting lockers, private bathrooms and well-spaced bunks. Breakfast is a cut above most hostels and there's a plant-filled spacious lobby bar-cafe with workspaces and quiet nooks.
