The Bulldog Reviews - Amsterdam

The Bulldog was an excellent place to stay. We stayed in Amsterdam for several days between Christmas and New Years. There are tall standing lockers for each bunk and each bed has an individual light above so you don't have to disturb everyone else in the room getting up in the morning. We stayed in a room with 8 other people and had no problems. It was very clean. We even went back after a terrible stay at another hostel in Amsterdam and got a single room (it's a hotel room so we had two beds, a tv, and our own bathroom). The staff is incredibly friendly and security is pretty high even though it's attached to a coffee shop (there's a camera outside the front door and you have to flash your room key in order to get in to the hostel part). I would definitely stay here again.

The Bulldog Company in Amsterdam is a chain of hostels and coffee shops in the city. The Bulldog Hostel which we stayed at is located in the Red Light District on the main canal – so right in the centre of it all!! It’s in easy walking distant of the Dam Square, 10 mins walk from central station and a short tram ride to the museum district. We arrived at this hostel after spending 3 days at a festival called Dance Valley and then spending the whole day at a reggae festival called 2sevens Splash, were soooo pleased to actually have a bed to sleep in. the rooms themselves resemble the rooms in the English version of Big Brother – they’re nicely decorated, really clean, our room had two separate bathrooms which was a plus and there’s a roof terrace that’s open in the summer. This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, everything was nice and modern and there was an all you can eat breakfast buffet which delicious Dutch cheeses and bread mmm and u can make a packed lunch as well! The hostel is joined to a coffee shop downstairs where you can buy snacks and joints, which is really handy! if want want to stay here in summer months you should definantly book as early as possibly as this hostel is in high demand
