Come and experience a holiday from your holiday. Lucky Lake offers one of the most unique hosteling experience in Europe whilst maintaining the lowest prices in Amsterdam.
For those who are tired of stuffy dorms, overcrowded communal areas and soulless, sterile accommodation, Lucky Lake can be a wonderful change. As well as offering several new four bed dorms, the bulk of Lucky Lake’s accommodation is make up of 31 CARAVANS(trailers) arranged to a form a fantastic hostel. These caravans are great for traveling couples looking for a few days of privacy as well as groups of two looking for a break from million bed dorms and snoring roommates.
Lucky Lake prides itself on its great location, right next to the Vinkeveense Plassen, a HUGE manmade lake where you can swim, kayak, boat, fish, sail, scuba dive and frolic to your heart’s content. Lucky Lake is also a cycling and walking enthusiasts dream, with miles of bike and walking trails leading you through the gorgeous Dutch country-side. Bikes are for hire directly from the hostel, but if you aren’t the sporty type then Lucky Lake is also ideal for just kicking back on a hammock and taking a day out from museums and walking tours.
The price one pays for being in such an amazing location is that Lucky Lake is situated further from the city than most hostels. However traveling to and from the hostel from Amsterdam is easy. There are regular Metro’s from Amsterdam Centraal to Holendrecht (17 min) – from there Lucky Lake is a short bus ride away (see directions for a step by step guide). On top of this Lucky Lake provides a shuttle bus to and from Holendrecht Metro station (7 min) at a small cost (2 Euros each way) with the first pick-up free of charge! Thus for those who are looking for a one night stop whilst they lose themselves in Amsterdam’s nightlife, Lucky Lake may not be the most suitable choice given its proximity to the city.
New in 2008 are our Lucky Lounge (decorated by the famous Uzi), three four-bed dorms and a new outdoor kitchen. There are some food items available in the hostel shop and there are two supermarkets in nearby Abcoude. Breakfast can be purchased ALL DAY from the hostel shop for 3 Euros. The staff are here for you and are always willing to provide you with any information you need regarding your holiday. Altogether this makes for a wonderfully social environment with an unbeatable atmosphere.
Families should be aware that the minimum age for our guests is 17. Our facilities are not suitable for infants or groups of more than 6 and Lucky Lake advices that we do NOT accept bookings for large groups (more than 6 people)
LUCKY LAKE IS CLOSED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. IN 2008 LUCKY LAKE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 28.
