Kings Inn City Hostel & Hotel Reviews

Kings Inn City Hostel & Hotel Alkmaar is a centrally located hostel offering both budget and hotel-style accommodation.

The Location

The hostel has a great location for exploring Alkmaar, as it's right in the city centre within walking distance to everything in the city; the cheese market is only a block away. Alkmaar Train Station is a twenty-minute walk from the hostel, or you can catch one of many buses that stop in the street behind the hostel. Its location in the city centre means that many restaurants and bars are located right near the hostel and you also have a large supermarket within a ten-minute walk.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Kings Inn City Hostel has a range of dormitory and private rooms available to suit everyone. Dormitory rooms are four- to nine-person rooms with simple, metal-style beds that make noise every time you move. Larger dorms are spacious with plenty of room to move, and have a desk in them if you need to get any work done. Dorm rooms don't have lockers, and you need to pay to use the common lockers, which are not in the most secure of locations. Dorm rooms also don't have windows or air conditioning (you are only provided with a small rotating fan that doesn't do anything) so when it is hot, the only option is to leave the door open, allowing anyone (and also the sound from rude noisy guests) to come into the room. Private double rooms are also available with a desk and flat-screen TV, but you also have to pay extra to have a window. If you want a more luxurious room, you also have the offerings in the hotel section, which have more comfortable rooms.
All rooms in the hostel have spacious and clean en suite bathrooms as well as extra toilets on the ground floor.

Common Spaces

The hostel has a basic, open common area in the centre of the hostel onto which all rooms open up, which can cause some noise issues if guests are trying to sleep and groups are hanging out and making noise outside their rooms to all hours of the night. The hostel also has its own bar and restaurant, at which you can get food throughout the day. Breakfast is for an extra charge that won't be affordable for most hostel guests. The hostel also has a secret kitchenette hidden in the hotel section that hostel guests can access; it's equipped with a microwave and mini fridge. Overall it is not a very social vibe unless you head to the bar, as there is no comfy common area in which to relax.

Summary

Overall, this hostel could be a lot better with some simple changes but at the moment it is lacking some simple conveniences like lockers and kitchen facilities. Summer would also be the worst time to stay here, unless you enjoy sleeping in a sauna with no ventilation.
