Marnix Hotel & Hostel

This hostel was ok. The location was great. A main square with a bulldog coffee shop/bar was right near by. Other than the that the hostel itself was fairly far from the train station and the red light district. Although Amsterdam is pretty small so it wasnt too bad to get around. The rooms were rather tiny although all bathrooms were private. Also the circulation seemed to be really bad in our room, it was well over eighty degrees in the room. There's free internet but only one computer. Lastly, the owners definitely dont like smoking in the hostel at all so just smoke your J's before getting back.

I highly recommend the Marnix. I stayed in a twin room with shared facilities. The room was basic but clean and had a wash basin. The bathroom and toilet were both very modern and clean. The location was good - it's within walking distance of the Van Gogh Museum and a tram ride or 20 minute walk to the red light district.
