Amsterdam Hostel Annemarie

Unfriendly Reception. Inconvenient

being double charged, told me to pay cash on site when i arrived so i had to go to atm and get cash out and realized when i got back hm they charged my credit card too on top of it, phone doesnt work when i call them they dont respond to me at all, i contacted hotels.com and they contacted them for a refund and it never happened

Very small bed and 1 toilet and shower in very small space

The police coming in to the dorm at midnight, turning the light on and then leaving with it still on

DO NOT STAY HERE. It is INFESTED with bed bugs and unfit for habitation. We stayed 2 nights (of the 3 we paid for) and both had over 500 bed bug bites. The huge glass window was falling out and very dangerous and a male staff member unlocked our bedroom door and burst in at 9.30pm when we were undressed. The staff did nothing. Expedia have ignored my complaint. My daughter had a severe allergic reaction to the bites and is still suffering 2 weeks later. It has ruined our entire holiday. Shame on you Expedia for sending people to this appalling place.

You're literally right next to the Reijksmuseum among other attractions. It's a cheap room to pass out in after a day of doing the actual fun stuff.

It’s really terrible after paying with credit cards before arriving they still insist that I must be on arrival with cash . I had to look for another alternative.

Had booked a bed in a 10 bed dorm, but I was put in a 15 bed dorm and told they didn't even have a 10 bed dorm. I had to pay cash, which normally is not an issue, but after I contacted hotels.com support to help with my situation I found out why it's cash only. As soon as the nice worker from hotels.com said where he was from, they hung up on him and afterwards they didn't pick up the phone, and because it was cash I couldn't get my money when they won't cooperate. The workers at the hostel were rude and kept trying to scam people. I met a Belgian who left the same time as me, and they kept trying to not give her the key deposit back, claiming she didn't pay one, when there was a very clear price of paper with her info and a 10€ bill on it. Scammers. They had no clue about who was staying where in the dorm, people kept getting assigned beds that were taken, there was no ventilation, the bathroom and shower was never cleaned, it was nasty and there was no toilet paper for 2 days despite me telling them there wasn't any. Complete scam, don't go here, not even your booking agency can help you if you go here.

I realy enjoy good staff so im advise any person to visit and stay in this Hostel Annemarie.

Very cute backyard and front dining areas. A little messy and crowded in the dorms because there aren’t lockers, but overall great value.

The property was located at a wonderful part of the city near many of the musuems however the 18-bedroom dormitory wasn't ventilated and it was stinking the whole time.

This property is a complete scam. I booked a 10-bed room with ensuite, but at check in got put into a 15-bed room. When I complained, the check-in guy gave me LOTS of attitude about I need to be sure about my reservation before I accuse anything because it doesn't match his data... until I showed him a copy of my reservation and proved I was right. Zero apologies for the attitude. Manager claimed that no 10-bed room exists, but somehow I doubt that the booking engines are making up their own descriptions, so... Anyway, finally got put into a 9-bed room with no bathroom, but couldn't be bothered complaining again with the incredibly rude staff. Uncomfortable beds, floors were sticky and hadn't been properly cleaned. Property charges cash deposits for keys, which is not mentioned ANYWHERE online - probably because they like to be completely random with the prices - I watched as the reception guy made up completely different amounts for the key deposit for different people checking in, while I was waiting for my room assignment to be fixed. To top it all off, the reception guy point blank REFUSED to issue any receipts for anything - which is illegal. I am following that up with the authorities. Overall, expedia should be ashamed to have a property like this on your booking engines

For a short stay alone it’s perfect for people who don’t mind a little bit of scrappiness.

Now i have to say this absolutely the worst place in Amsterdam and there are a few more. The place has a bad oder, terrible management and their reception barely speqk english. Do yourself a favor and never stay there.

Good place to rest and relax after a long day of walking around

It was better than what I was expecting.

This place is overly priced for what it is. The beds are horrendously uncomfortable for one. I think I would have been more comfortable sleeping on the floor. The bathroom is incredibly small and the shower was dirty. I asked the employee at the front desk if I could get some money back if I checked out earlier and they said no. I booked three nights and only stayed one. Not a place I would recommend unless you’re desperate for a place.

The experience of this place has been awful. It started with the charges which were €120 instead of $120. Then the unfriendly and unprofessional personnel, the packed rooms, poor sanitary facilities and in the end not providing any receipts for the charges. Never again! PS.: If I were Expedia, I would scrap this facility from my database.

Comfy bed and everything clean. There was 1 tiny bathroom on the floor for 21 people. Even for Dutch standards it was tiny and with no room to hang clothes or put you things. Not even on the toilet for lack of lid. Breakfast was truly minimal with bread and jam. Coffee serves in plastic cups meant for cold drinks.

The reception staff, and the manager in particular, are nice people. The rooms are relatively comfortable, though they lack many power outlets. Bathrooms are fairly clean. The breakfast was limited and there isnt much of an area to relax in. Overall it is a decent, affordable hostel in a good location.
