To keep our guests and staff safe we can’t allow anyone arriving from a country on the self-quarantine list to do this at our hostels. Please note that it is your responsibility to check quarantine requirements. If you are coming from a country on the self-quarantine list, you must quarantine for 10 days before checking in at our hostels.

Please make sure to bring valid photo identification with you, a passport, government-issued I.D. card or driving license – no photocopies will be accepted. You’ll need this to check-in, so don’t forget it!

Bookings cannot be accepted by any person under the age of 18 unless they are accompanied by an adult (18 or over). Guests who wish to bring their children under 16 years of age must book a whole dorm or private room. For guests aged 16 or 17 years of age, they can book into one of the dorm rooms but must be accompanied by an adult (aged 18 or over). Unlike some hostels, we do not have an upper age limit, but most of our guests are backpackers in the 18 to 30 age range.

If you’re travelling with friends or family, our staff will attempt to put people travelling together in the same room, but this cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of hostels. If you want to make sure that you aren’t separated from your group, we suggest booking a private room or securing the entire dorm.

Please note that all our dorms are mixed unless a girls-only dorm is booked.

Clink Hostels are primarily cashless properties. Please be aware that we only accept Mastercard, iDEAL, Visa card payments for all bookings. The payment card must match the guest’s name on identification on arrival.

In Amsterdam, a City tax of 7% is not included in the room rate and will be added to your balance. Since January 2020, an additional €3 per person per night will be applied due to new Tourist Tax regulations.
