International Budget Hostel is beautifully situated in the heart of the city centre in the Leidseplein (Leidse Square) area. Leidseplein is the most famous nightlife area in Amsterdam. The location of the hostel is on a quiet, beautiful canal - the Leidsegracht.

Rooms are shared mixed from triples and quads to six-person rooms.  Each hallway has showers and WCs.

Our hostel, set in a former 17th-century warehouse, has a cosy lounge facing the canal where one can relax and socialize and meet other fellow travellers. The lounge has vending machines, a television, an internet station and a public phone. Free Wi-Fi is available in the entire hostel. We are placed in a old monumental building with no elevators, just steep stairs.

The hostel is a few minutes from the famous Van Gogh Museum, beautiful Dam Square, the entertaining Red light district, relaxing Vondelpark, historical Anne Frank House and the best clubs, coffee shops, bars and restaurants and many more great places.

The staff can provide you with great ideas to spend your time in Amsterdam. If you're interested in renting a bike we're happy to organise this for you.

Due to the new non-smoking law which is introduced since July 1st 2008, smoking is not permitted in the hostel. The entire hostel has smoke detectors. There is video security in all public areas.


We are pleased to announce our new indoor smoking room, where you can chill out, socialize, and smoke in comfort looking out over Amsterdam's beautiful canals. The rest of the hostel remains smoke free

Please read our T&Cs below.

The reservation will be terminated if the hostel does not get authorization on the credit card.

IMPORTANT:

Our smoking room will remain open 24 hours.

If you will be arriving after closing hours, please send us an email to notify us of your expected arrival time. We can then send you instructions and code to enter the building and access your room.

In the eventuality that you will be arriving late and checking-out early the next day please inform us by email 1 day or 2 prior to your arrival date so we can make payment arrangements for any open balance including city tax 7% and tourism fee of 3 EUR per person per night as  well as notify you by email of the entrance code and instructions to access your room.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience but these measures should, hopefully, be only temporary.
