Check rates for ClinkNOORD Hostel
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Amsterdamhotel search — search for “ClinkNOORD Hostel” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +31 20 214 9730 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
The Noord hostel if social life and a strong location score matter — read the cleanliness, small-room and limited-breakfast cons before you treat the 8 headline as a spotless private-hotel story.
This seed has no POI distance rows for ClinkNOORD, so we do not invent kilometre claims to Central Station or the canal ring. Location scores 9.25 out of 10 — the strongest location category in this Amsterdam sample — with excellent proximity to transportation named in the guest summary.
The supplier rating is 8 out of 10 from 19,557 reviews, captured 7 December 2025. Service scores 8.75; location 9.25 leads; food and beverage is the clear weak link at 6.75 with limited, cold breakfast named. Cleanliness 7.25 notes dirty linens and bathrooms; room quality 7.75 notes small, poorly maintained rooms.
Facilities favour a social hostel brief: bar, games room, table tennis, billiards, karaoke, snack bar, lockers and evening entertainment are listed — no fitness centre or full restaurant in the cited facts. Amenities score 7.75 with lacking kitchen facilities noted.
Check-in is from 03:00 PM until midnight; check-out is 10:00 AM. Chain: none recorded.
Best for
- Budget travellers who want hostel social kit and a 9.25 location score
- Solo travellers and couples who value bar and games-room energy over room size
- Anyone comparing a 19,557-review hostel against Hotel Levell’s three-star rooms
Not for
- Anyone who needs verified landmark kilometre pins — there are no POI rows in the ingest
- Guests who will not risk room-cleanliness complaints — dirty linens named
- Breakfast absolutists — food and beverage scores 6.75 with limited options named

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.0/10 from 19,557 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
