The Bulldog Hostel

  • February 10, 2006

One of the better hostels I've been in—it's decor is fun and different. The rooms and the entire hostel are all very clean and comfortable. The lounge/bar is a very cool and welcoming environment, with a TV if you want, or just several good areas to socialize in. The rooms are very nice with lockers, a toilet, and a shower all in the room with you. The chance of getting a room with a view is very good and doesn't cost extra. Laundry facilities are easy to use and easily accessible. Breakfast is very nice, since it offers more than just bread and butter. And for a few more Euros you can ask the cook to prepare an even more filling dish, like eggs if you'd like. It's in a prime spot as well. Just steps away from the Dam square, as well as the red light district. And it is certainly very easy to get wherever you need to go by catching a tram—making it a simple trek from the main train station. Staff is also very helpful, they make sure you feel at ease as they don't let just anyone roam up to the rooms. Late nights they might even check your keys. So, although, the price may be a little higher than your average hostel (€16-136, higher prices for private rooms) it is well worth it.

The Bulldog Hostel

The accommodations were minimal. I stayed in a rather large dormitory, with about 16 beds. I have stayed in many hostels and I have to admit that their matresses and pillows are the most comfortable that I have ever slept on. As far as the rest of the hostel, you get one token for hot water per day you stay, which gives you 8 minutes of hot water. But don''t worry, you can buy additional tokens.
