Amsterdam Hostel Annemarie

There was bed bugs.

Very disappointing experience. We found bed bugs in multiple rooms (including visible eggs). Even after being moved several times, the problem was not resolved. Sleeping was nearly impossible, and we had to leave early. For the second night, we did not receive the private room we had booked and paid for, but were placed in a shared dormitory instead in another Hostel. After the stay, we contacted the hostel multiple times but received no response. This is a serious hygiene and health issue and should not happen. I cannot recommend staying here. Unfortunately, I was also unable to leave a review on Hostelworld because the booking was marked as cancelled.

beds too small, 3 beds pilled on each others, kitchen is just a microwave, overall dirty and smelly. if you don't believe me, check the comments on Google maps. have bedbugs bites on my legs, everything is in cash, sketchy feeling. 3 rooms/floors, 12 beds/rooms, 1 (too) small shower/toilets by floors (1 for 36 if the hostel is full). arrived one day later, they cancelled my whole reservation, i had to find something else the day i arrived, do not answer phone or mail, want me to pay everything

Great location, left with bed bug bites. Not the most flexible as you have to pay the terminating balance at the hostel only in cash. The bathrooms are extremely small and there’s only one per floor.

Slept couple of nights there and got bit by the bed bugs. Maybe Im unlucky 1, but worth mentioning. Felt like sleeping in homeless shelter. No vibe, only cash. Better add 5 euro and find something better.

We had a lot of bedbug bites after our stay here. We also paid in cash but a month after our stay they tried to charge our creditcard for extra money.

Had a fine time here until the day after my friend and I left and we noticed bites all over our bodies that we are sure were from bed bugs. We had even seen a bug in my friend's bed, and didn't think anything of it at the time (stupid I know but we were having lots of fun in Amsterdam). Some googling later and we were positive the bug we saw was a bed bug. Service was kind and helpful, and amenities were, in my opinion, clean and what you would expect for a hostel. They had even let us change rooms after another guest was disrespectful to my friend's ethnicity, no hassle. But looking at the other reviews, it seems like they have a bed bug problem that they have yet to resolve even after many complaints. Wanted to give a good review but the discomfort of bites and inconvenience of quarantining luggage after traveling is too much to overlook. If they could fix this, it would be the place I'd stay at any time I go to Amsterdam.

Bed bugs biting and parasites in room and bed.. bad service. They don't want Europeans they want only tourists who they can manipulate on prices. Rude owner and hating on Europeans. They kicked me out just because I'm European that's littlelary what he just told me himself.

Punaise de lit

Short metal beds and very hungry bedbugs. In the morning, my whole body was bitten by bedbugs.

Our stay was okay. We booked a private room, saw no mold or any bedbugs, which we were weary of after the reviews. The free coffee in the morning was nice and we found the service nice. The room and bathrooms were small but functional and I found the bathroom clean. The mattresses are a quite thin however, there’s only small lockers to store your bags, and really expensive for what you get. Staff seemed nice but I wouldn’t stay as a solo female. Location is perfect however.

This place has bed bugs. The day I checked in I had an asthma attack due to mold and booked another place thus lost 400 euros (as they did not refund as back even though I had an asthma attack 10 minutes after stepping foot at the hostel). We booked a double room which was -unexpectedly- had 3 beds in bunk bed style, no shelves or anything to put our clothes in. The staff were horrifyingly mean, I never seen such customer service. They lied to our faces several times. The manager is not there ever and if you email him you will not get a reply back. I saw 20 bedbugs in 30 minutes I spent in that room and I was traumatized. I got several allergy attacks even though I did not sleep in that hostel just went there to change my clothes. Just in the corner of this hostel there is a beautiful hotel which is almost the same price please go there instead of this overpriced, MOLDY, BEDBUGFULL ridiculous place. THE SHEETS WERE BLOODY, THE MOLD SMELL WAS EVERYWHERE AND THE BATHROOM IS OUT OF A MURDER SCENE. This was the worst room i have stayed in. i cant wonder who gives this place a 5star review as it’s incredibly shady that anyone can like this, yes it is cheap but there are other hostels even hotels in amsterdam that give you the same price without taking your dignity

Don't go ! Bedbugs and mold . The owner is rude and it' s a (expensive) joke

La propreté des lieux avec des punaises de lit et sécrétions de punaises, personnel pas aimable, obligé de payer en cash, aucun remboursement si vous n’êtes pas content, insalubre, pièces très très petites aucune intimité même dans les espaces de douche/toilettes qui sont minuscule

this was the worst hostel ever, we saw bedbugs and couldnt sleep there for even a day even though we had 4 days of reservation and they did not give us a refund.

Bed bug. I know it’s from them because I have 12 hours reaction time when it comes to bed bugs

A fuir ! Cette établissement est plein de punaises de lits et nie tout. Nous avons eu le droit à aucune compensation. Ça nous a ruiné notre voyage. On a dû payer tout le séjour alors que nous n’y avons pas dormi

Don't go there, whatever reason you have, it's not worth it. I wouldn't go there again if it was free and for the money they charge it's truly a joke. The toilet and shower are in a room thats too small to turn around in and covered in mould. The beds are too small for normal-sized people and the mattresses might as well just not be there. According to other reviews they're also full of bedbugs but I was lucky enough not to see these guys. Additionaly, the whole room also stinks and most of the lockers can't be locked due to them being broken and even if they did work they would be too small to fit your luggage, which is definitely necessary in a room of 15 people.

Wenn einem alle hygiene Standarts egal sind kann man sich die Bude schon mal anschauen. In den 1,5qm Bad wachsen friedlich allerhand Schimmelpilze heran. Auch sonst weist das Zimmer und die Möblierung einen sehr modrigen und abschreckenden Geruch auf. Zudem ist der Boden klebrig und an vielen Stellen kaputt. Bettwanzen hatten wir zum Glück keine. Die Spinde sind erstens zu klein, um sein Gepäck sinnvoll verstauen zu können und zweitens fehlt bei so gut wie allen die Möglichkeit ein Schloss anzubringen. Die Anfrage beim Personal, ob wir das Gepäck untertags abgeben können wurde klar verneint. Mit der Aussage man könne es ja einfach aufs Bett legen. Leider kann ich diese Absteige keinesfalls weiterempfehlen.

Schlafen in zu kleinen Räumen, mit zu vielen Personen. Es gibt keine Bettdeckenbezüge, dafür aber Bettwanzen. Schließfächer sind nur klein. Badezimmer mit Toilette und Dusche ist maximal 1 Quadratmeter groß.

Also ganz ehrlich… schlimmer geht’s kaum. Schon beim Ankommen roch das Zimmer nach altem Muff, das Bett war fleckig und irgendwie feucht – und ja, Bettwanzen gab’s gratis dazu. Nach der ersten Nacht hatte ich Stiche überall, und als Bonus wohl auch noch Krätze. Das Bad? Winzig, dreckig, und man konnte sich kaum umdrehen, ohne sich irgendwo anzustoßen. Personal? So unfreundlich, als würde man ihnen persönlich den Tag verderben, nur weil man eincheckt. Ich habe mich selten so unwillkommen gefühlt. Spart euch das Geld und schlaft lieber irgendwo im Park – ist wahrscheinlich sauberer.

Hostel hell, Bed bugs and scabies! I showed them the bug bits the next day. The front desk guy just shrugged and said it wasn't them. The room for 21 could uncomfortably sleep 12. A bunch of my stuff went missing. I don't even think of stuff I just think that there's literally nowhere to even put your stuff so everyone's backpacks and shoes and everything are just stacked on top of each other and when you're trying to like get out by 10am. It's hard to find your stuff without moving other people's stuff and other people's stuff move their stuff on top of your stuff. I stuff was falling on the girl under me. The person next to me head was half was on the foot of my bed. I treated all my stuff for bed bugs but 2 weeks later now what I thought was a rash has exploded into scabies. Now I have to get body treatment and retreat all of my stuff. No love all bugs

They all of a sudden wanted money to store my bag, unless I wrote a review. This is the review: Nasty bed bugs. The other guests in the room was noicey, turning on lights, chatting, coming and going until 6 in the morning, listening to their phones, pissing outside the toilet and yeah, what have you. Would not go back.

Bad, don’t go here, I have been to plenty of hostels and this was by far the worst. Thought it was worth it for the price at first but definitely was not. Someone threw up on their bed our first night and then got arrested out front. No common area, no kitchen and the bathroom for the entire floor is the size of a small closet. Blood stains on the mattress and bedbug bites in the morning. Decided to cut our losses and leave two nights early as we didn’t want our trip to be ruined by this hostel. When we told the receptionist this it seemed like this was a regular occurrence. Also made us pay in cash so getting a refund was completely out of the picture. Also found this on my bed when i came back from walking around the city. No clue what it is but i hope it was not fecal matter.

Punaises de lit – aucun remboursement, aucune responsabilité. Dès la première nuit, nous avons trouvé des punaises de lit vivantes dans notre chambre. Photos à l'appui. L'hôtel a refusé d'assumer quoi que ce soit et nous a même accusés de les avoir apportées nous-mêmes. Accueil très désagréable, la personne qui nous a accueilli nous prenait de haut et n’avait aucun respect pour ces clients. Aucun respect, aucune hygiène. Fuyez cet endroit. Risque sanitaire évident.

L’accueil dans cette accueil a été très désagréable car la personne qui nous a accueilli parlait aux clients de façon hautaine et irrespectueuse. Après notre première nuit on a remarqué qu’il y avait des punaises de lit dans notre chambre, ce qui est un manque d’hygiène flagrant. Après avoir constaté cela nous avons décidé de partir et donc de demander le remboursement. La personne que c’est nous qui avons ramené les punaises, c’est inadmissible. J’attends toujours qu’on me rembourse.

I knew this place was not going the best but after the first night I woke up with multiple bug bites on my arm and chest. Not to mention there is one bathroom for a floor of 30+ people and the receptionists are very rude and aggressive.

Limpeza fraca, barulhos, não há toalhas, percevejos nas camas e casa de banho. Chegamos a casa e vamos lavar tudo para evitar criação dos mesmos.

The worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Filthy, unsanitary conditions — the room was infested with bedbugs. I couldn’t sleep and had to treat my belongings afterwards. The kitchen is a disgrace: everything is dirty, and the only appliance available is a filthy microwave. It’s disgusting to even be in there, let alone cook. The room is completely unfit for guests — no power outlets by the beds, no wardrobe, no shelves, no hooks. You have to keep all your stuff on the floor like in a basement. The bathroom is a nightmare. It’s tiny, the toilet has no seat, and the showerhead is installed directly above the toilet — you literally shower standing over it. At night, it’s unbearably noisy. People are yelling, no one respects quiet hours, and the staff does absolutely nothing about it. Total lack of basic hospitality or respect for guests. Avoid this place at all costs. It’s a health hazard and an embarrassment to the concept of a hostel.

N'y allez pas Punaise de lit, chambre qui pue la clope, bâtiment puant, personnel tellement froid et étrange, bref rien ne va A l'accueil le monsieur nous a redemendez de payer en cash plus que le prix de la chambre alors que nous avions déjà payé sur internet pour la chambre ! Fuyez s'il-vous-plaît, pour quelques euros vous aurez tellement mieux en auberge de jeunesse

VORSICHT..Bettwanzen…!!!!!!!!!! Definitive möchte ich diese Unterkunft nicht weiter empfehlen… habe schon in vielen hostels genächtigt aber so etwas ist mir noch nicht untergekommen…. Dreckig wirklich überall..stinkend..Küche schlecht..Personal teilweise sehr unfreundlich… Hatte zwei Nächte gebucht und habe nach der 1 Nacht sofort ausgecheckt… so etwas hab ich noch nie erlebt… Und ja ich habe die Häutungen gesehen von den Bettwanzen den kot und was man sonst noch so sieht..

this is the worst hostel i have ever stayed in the staff was very rude and the beds were very dirty, my slippers was stolen by one of the people with me in the dorm and there was bed bugs everywhere, this is the worst experience in my whole life. i don’t recommend this hostel to anyone.

Many reviews mentioned bedbugs, thankfully this was not an issue when I stayed. Hostelz lists this as having free breakfast and a kitchen, of which it has neither. A microwave and fridge are all thats available, and no breakfast. For one of the days I stayed, the front door was not closed (although someone was always at reception), and the door to my room was almost never closed, sometimes it would not close. tiny showers. Overpriced for the facilities. Generally clean though.

HOTEL À FUIR AU PLUS VITE!!! PUNAISE DE LIT SUR LES QUATRES MATELAS...HORRIBLE HORRIBLE 0/20 HOTEL A RAYÉ D'AMSTERDAM ET NON LES COFFEE-SHOP

Exigir pago en efectivo. Buscar ATM a las 00:00 Cobro del 5% por uso de tarjeta Picaduras de chinches a mi esposo.

Ne venez pas là ! Punaises de lit, traces dans les chambres sur les murs et dans les lits, murs en mauvais état, sol qui grince, accueil déplorable. A fuir même si c'est le moins cher que vous trouvez ! Le seul point positif est la proximité avec le centre ville.

Hay chinches y sarna en las camas. La segunda noche nos dimos cuentas que había bichos en las sábanas, eran chinches. Volvimos a casa con sarna y picadas de chinches. La cocina está sucia y muy poco equipada. El baño también está sucio y solamente hay 1 baño para más de 20 personas. El personal es antipático y no te brindan casi ayuda.

Bettwanzen!!!! Zu kleine Betten, zu kleines Badezimmer. Licht funktionierte nicht im Bad. Keine Steckdosen, nur in den unteren Betten.

Sept 14 morning found bed bug bites at my back near right shoulder. Sept 15 morning had bites at my left arm and face. They haven't completely recovered after 9 days as showing in the attached photos. The hotel responded to my email saying that "we checkt the room with you and we foud nothing." I stayed 3 nights in room 5 on the 3rd floor and moved to the bed next to mine after the Mexican guy left, with the sheets from my original bed because the bunk bed was short and narrow. The staff said the bugs must came from that Mexican guy! In the morning of 15th in the reception room, a young girl was complaining that she had bed bug bites on her body. She was also asked to pay cash after arriving like me and the Mexican guy. The hotel owner - a Moroccan who owns a few hostels in Amsterdam has been trying not paying tax to the government and credit card fee by asking for cash payment. The room rate for Sept 13 and 14 were three times higher than the night of Sept 12. When I tried to write a review, it showed that I didn't stay there and the hotel must have done something wired on Booking.com and tried not letting me to write a review because they know that the truth would be revealed. There are so many negative reviews about this hostel about bed bugs but none are on Booking.com.

I stayed in this hostel for two nights and I couldn't imagine the monstrosity of this hostel. The city is beautiful, shame that it had to be ruined by a horrible, smellly hostel. Upon entering the hostel, first thing noticed was the smell and the sheer ugliness of the place. The lobby smelled like trash, alcohol and feces all mixed up. Makes you want to throw up. The staff were somewhat receptive , having to ask multiple times for stuff and getting weird looks when asking. The bathrooms and the room was something I could only imagine in horror films or nightmares. The wall close to my bed had poo stains (i assume from someones diarrhea), and the sheets had some weird brown stains on them... Thankfully I didn't notice any bed bugs but I assume they were there as well. The bathroom is horrid, for a room of 12 people you have one small toilet seat with zero toilet paper and pee stains on the seat, one shower that I didnt even shower in because it smelled so bad, and there is only one dirty bathroom for the whole floor of like 40 people which was absolutely filthy. Please avoid this hostel, even if you just need somewhere to crash you will have a very low quality sleep session with potential diseases, especially because the city is absolutely beautiful in contrast to this filth.

When we woke up in the morning we had so many bites, and when we flipped the mattress we found bed bugs. We told the employee at the reception who told us it was a normal situation in Europe, that the bed bugs were dead and that we would not get a refund for our stay. Most horrible experience I had in an hostel. Also people sleeping in the hallway… smell of vomit on the carpets… to avoid if you want to enjoy Amsterdam.

Absolutely disgusting, tiny beds that are uncomfortable and far too small. Clearly not cleaned frequently, especially in bathroom and kitchen. And most importantly BED BUGS EVERYWHERE! Beds, floors, bathrooms, sinks, everywhere! Was given an email to report it which was clearly never read and never received a response.

Todo, la habitación tenía bedbugs.

Was not as clean or comfortable as the pictures portray. We had two people moved from their beds due to bedbugs and those beds, without being thoroughly cleaned, were filled by new people the same day. The staff were not very helpful and the whole place feels a bit off. There is also a deal to leave a good review and they will watch your luggage for free so take any incredible reviews with a grain of salt.

L’hôtel est envahi par les punaises de lit. Nous avons demandé un remboursement, mais nos mails sont restés sans réponses et le personnel nous raccroche au nez. Ne réservez pas pour plusieurs nuits à l’avance, et vérifiez vos draps.

Horrific Experience: Mold, Bed Bugs, and Unresponsive Staff I had an absolutely terrible stay at this hostel. The room was dirty, with mold growing in the corners. To make matters worse, I had a severe bed bug problem that left me with multiple bites on my arms and neck. These bites itched and swelled for two weeks, causing me significant discomfort. Despite informing the staff, there was no apology, no offer of a refund, and no attempt to resolve the issue. The staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. When I reported the mold and bed bug infestation, they simply told me to email the manager. I did so, but never received a response. Additionally, the hostel lacked basic amenities such as proper storage, hooks, or lockers for luggage and jackets. To top it off, they charge a 5% fee for card payments unless you withdraw cash, which is unacceptable and feels like a scam. The only positive aspect of this place is its central location, with everything within walking distance. However, I strongly advise against staying here. The risks far outweigh the convenience.

Our room was riddled with bed bugs, the beds are tiny. Rooms were very dusty, communication is non existent. Only a microwave, fridge and jug in the “kitchen”. Make sure you bring cash as there is a 5% fee to use a card.
