Description
ClinkNOORD
When we saw this old, 1920’s laboratory sitting empty on the banks of the River IJ, we just knew we had to bring it back to life! Simple but stylish Dutch design lets the building’s original features shine whilst creating playful and welcoming social spaces. Find the hostel in Amsterdam Noord, one of the city’s most creative and culturally vibrant areas. Amsterdam’s famous sights are just a hop, skip and a jump away from this central location!
To get to us: Step aboard the free, five minute ferry from Amsterdam Centraal Station to the other side of the River IJ (it runs 24/7) and ClinkNOORD is only 300 metres away (see below for full directions).

Getting here
- From Amsterdam Central Station
- From Schiphol Airport
- From Rotterdam The Hague Airport
From Amsterdam Central Station
When you arrive at Centraal Station, follow the signs to the ferries. From here, jump on the free ferry (24/7) to ‘Veer Buiksloterweg’ which only takes 3 minutes and runs every 7 minutes (departs every 15 minutes during the night). From the boat, ClinkNOORD is only 400m away.
When you get off the ferry, turn left straight away. Walk straight ahead across the bridge towards the EYE Film Museum and the A’DAM Tower. Once you’ve crossed the bridge, turn right immediately and walk straight along the canal, with ‘The Butcher’ restaurant on your left. Keep following the canal for about 50 metres and ClinkNOORD will be on your left. It’s a big brown building with a ‘CLINK’ sign outside – you can’t miss it!
Watch our handy video, so you’ll know exactly where to go!
From Schiphol Airport
When you arrive at Schiphol Airport, buy a cheap train ticket to Centraal Station from one of the yellow ticket machines in the airport arrivals hall. Check the time and platform of the next train heading to Amsterdam Centraal on the screens (the platform is usually number 2 or 5). The train runs every 15-30 minutes and it’s just a 15-20-minute journey into Amsterdam. Once at Centraal Station, follow the directions above.
For directions from any other airport, please call us on +44 (0)20 7183 9400. The team will be more than happy to help you find the best route.
From Rotterdam The Hague Airport
When you arrive in Rotterdam The Hague Airport, buy a bus and train ticket from one of the ticket stands in the airport (Be sure to buy the combined train and bus ticket). Take the number 33 bus to Rotterdam Central Station. Once there, you can either get the Intercity Direct train which takes around 40 minutes to Centraal station via Schiphol Airport or the Intercity Train, which takes a little longer as it stops at 4 stations via either Schiphol or Haarlem. Once at Centraal station, follow the directions above.
You can also buy train tickets in advance from Discoverholland.com. This means that you don’t need to queue at the airport and can board the train directly. Also available are Amsterdam Travel tickets which give you unlimited travel across Amsterdam for 1-, 2- or 3-days.
