Fairly formal, but pleasant enough hostel on the edge of town (about one kilometer out). Sneek is well off the backpacker circuit, so you can expect to meet a very Dutch crowd of cyclists (like myself) or boaty types, rather than the typical backpackers. Sneek is in the centre of Netherlands' lake district, and will be very busy during Sneek Week in August -- Netherlands' big regatta event. I was here in late September during a quiet season and was lucky enough to get a attic room to myself. Downstairs there was a big social area with a lively bar (Sneek has perhaps not the most exciting nightlife in Netherlands), which is a good place to have a beer at the end of the day.
