The kick-ass shower in the en-suite bathroom gave me the energy I needed to conquer the energetic city life, like a superhero ready to save the day.
Unclean room upon arrival.

I keep choosing this spot for my trips. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, AC, laundry, and a fun bar. The helpful staff once printed my boarding pass. The place has it all – TV, lift, yoga class, and board games. I always return happy.

Feeling pumped after a kick-ass shower, I conquered the city vibe with gusto. Privacy in the spacious rooms was a win for us as a group of 7. The Dude transformed into a wild party zone where skills were tested. Storing snacks in the guest pantry, I savored American-inspired cuisine. Arriving was a breeze via the 5-minute stroll from the metro. A jam-packed, fun-filled stay full of insider tips was a total blast. Who knew bunk beds could equal mucho fun?

The hotel had a lively atmosphere with a restaurant and a fun games room, perfect for families and friends to hang out. The bunk beds and communal spaces created a jovial vibe, making it a great place to unwind and have a good time together.
My wife says that the hotel could benefit from having more kid-friendly meal options in the restaurant.

clean and comfy bunkers - always tidy washrooms. Via's just a quick metro ride from central Amsterdam. Great spot nearby - Margherita Tutta la Vita - recommended by staff. Loads of fun stuff to do every night - like movie nights.
Would recommend.

Conveniently located near public transportation and a nice quiet neighborhood setting. The common areas were well-equipped with entertainment options like snooker and table football.
The lack of security was a major issue, as theft occurred in the hostel and management did not offer any assistance or take responsibility. The staff were often rude and unhelpful.

I recently stayed at Via Amsterdam for a few nights and it was perfect for my travel needs. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They organize different activities every night, so there was always something fun to do. The cinema room and bar area were cute and added to the overall experience. The beds were comfortable and the hostel had a vibrant, young adult vibe. I would definitely book again next time!
Would recommend this hotel.

Great value for money female dormitory, neat and clean facilities, and safe environment. The lounge area has a good atmosphere with amazing food options including burgers and fish n chips. Conveniently located 5 minutes away from the train station and metro. Highly recommend staying here.

Via Amsterdam was a pleasant stay with clean premises, friendly staff, and surprisingly good restaurant food. The hostel offers ample entertainment options like table tennis and giant jenga, creating a lively atmosphere. The location, though not in the city center, is convenient with nearby train stations. The spacious lobby and the presence of a cat added a charming touch to the experience. The relaxed facilities, including a night club, contributed to a fun stay, and nearby landmarks like Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum offered enriching family outings that enhanced our bonding time.

The location was convenient and well-connected to public transport. I enjoyed my stay at Via and loved the option of yoga classes in the morning. The lobby area was clean and inviting. I would recommend this hostel.

I loved how this hotel had so many different types of entertainment available - from board games to cinema rooms to pool tables to in-house bars - there was always something to keep me entertained. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made my stay all the more pleasant. Additionally, the hotel was clean and very nicely decorated, with a funky vibe and comfortable beds. Lastly, the hotel had great transportation links, easy to reach via subway and right next to a metro station.
Don't have any issues at all.

Hot dogs that'll blow your mind, and epic culinary tales galore. Met cool folks too. Plus, lemon-water on tap and friendly staff. Cons: A bit pricey for a hostel, but still shines. Food stops at 10 pm, but pizza delivery saves the day. Room could use better blinds for those early Amsterdam sunrises. Louffee Coffee is a gem nearby. Cheers!

I recently stayed at a hostel in Amsterdam and had a fantastic experience. Via, the hostel I chose, offered bike rentals, which made getting around the city incredibly convenient. It was only a 20-minute ride to the city center, and being able to sightsee while cycling was a memorable experience. The hostel's proximity to the metro was another great option for exploring the city. The staff at Via, including the reception staff and cleaning ladies, were lovely and went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The cleanliness and organization of the hostel were top-notch. Additionally, the hostel's cool design and artwork added to the overall experience. I highly recommend experiencing all the beautiful decorations and activities that Via provides. Choosing to stay at this hostel for our Amsterdam stop during our interrail journey was definitely the right decision.
Nothing could have been better.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by its value for money. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the level of detail in the rooms. I stayed in a four bed female bedroom with a private bathroom and balcony, and everything was in good condition. It was great to have these basic amenities in such a modern hotel. Additionally, the location in a quiet area near the city center was perfect for exploring.
All in all, my stay at this hotel was completely fine.

I recently stayed at a cost-effective hostel in Amsterdam and had a fantastic experience. The room, a spacious 6 bed private dorm, was excellent. Each bed had its own light and plug socket, making it convenient for charging devices. The en-suite bathroom was great, with a separate toilet from the rest of the bathroom, which was very handy. The shower was even better than some I've experienced in "Premium" hotels! The hostel's facilities, including the foyer with a bar, table tennis table, and cinema room, were spot on. They even had a Jurassic Park pinball machine, although I didn't have a chance to play. Additionally, lockers were available to store luggage, and the transport system in Amsterdam was superb. It only took about 15-20 minutes and €5 to get from the airport, and there was a nearby metro station that brought you to the city center in 15 minutes. With a 3-day pass for €20, we were able to use the metro, tram, and nightbus extensively.
There was nothing I didn't like about my stay.

We visited The Dude restaurant and it was lit with a DJ turning it into a party scene. We also hit up the massive games room where we showed off our skills and had a blast. With 3 bunk beds and our crew, it was mucho fun!
We wish there was a more happening nightlife scene within the hotel for young party-goers like us.

I chose Via for its proximity to the Johan Cruijff Arena and was pleasantly surprised by the guest pantry, providing convenience and a cozy atmosphere. The availability of washing detergent at the reception was also a helpful bonus.
Daily bathroom cleaning could improve, and the kitchen amenities were limited.

The en-suite bathroom with a kick-ass shower at Via Amsterdam was a game-changer for me. It gave me the boost I needed to tackle the bustling city life. The large hostel rooms with ensuite bathroom were perfect for our group, offering the privacy we craved.
I found the lighting in the room a bit too dim for my liking.

The hotel offers a great location near the metro station, making it easy to explore the city. The spacious rooms are well-decorated, and there are lots of activities to keep you entertained. You can easily find a good meal nearby and the map on the room key is a useful touch.
I wish there were more comfortable lounges to relax in and chill.

I chose Via solely for its proximity to the Johan Cruijff Arena, and I was pleasantly surprised by the guest pantry and the convenient availability of washing detergent at the reception.
Unfortunate cleanliness and maintenance issues.

This place was mind-blowing! It felt like a college campus with young people hanging out everywhere. The rooms were jaw-droppingly huge and very easy to find. The food nearby was SUPER delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Plus, the social areas were top-notch with a bar, pool table, kitchen, and even a cinema! Everything was clean. Couldn't ask for more!

Hipster hostel with artsy vibes and accommodating staff. Loved the lively atmosphere and meeting fellow travelers. The Dude's food and drinks had a fun American twist.
