Bob's Youth Hostel Hostel

About Bob's Youth Hostel

Over 30 years ago, Bob decided he wanted a hostel. A youth hostel that is, where young people from all over the world could sleep under the cleanest of sheets without having to pay too much.

Today, Bob's is still a cool place with nice people on a central location. We offer the cheapest beer in town, good music and a free and relaxing atmosphere. Besides that we have a very friendly staff that allows our guests to smoke joints in the reception area most of the time... so you can enjoy Amsterdam to the maximum here!

Location Information

Bob thought it would be nice to locate his hostel in the center of Amsterdam, and so he did! It is only 5 minutes from Central Station and Dam Square. The red-light is close by, and so is the Anne Frank house. On top of that, there are dozens of bars and venues in the direct; Bob was wise in choosing his location: tramlines 1, 2, 5, 13 and 17 from central station stop right in front of the door, and they’ll take you almost anywhere.

Thanks to his insight, you won’t have to walk too much. Everybody says: ‘thank you Bob’!

Cancellation Policy

Customers can cancel their reservation free of charge up to 2 days before arrival. After this date, charges will be applied by the property up to the first nights cost of the reservation, unless otherwise stated in the property’s conditions. Deposits paid are non refundable.
