Hostel the Golden Stork

Excellent location

good good very good nice

Hallo, ik stayed here for one night,and i had a great experiance. The were very friendly and cooperative. They helped me whereever they could. It was very nice and clean and a very nice location in the city centre. I would certainly recommend them. Greetings

Lovely atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. A really nice menu with plenty of options. Can particularly recommend the American pancakes and the elderflower drink. They have lovely canal side seating with sufficient shade - even on a hot day. Unfortunately service was a bit slow but it was a busy morning. And when the food arrived it was delicious so worth waiting for.

When I got back to the hostel at night yhetr was somebody else sleeping in my bed. My towel also got stolen The place is unstaffed for many hours and the problem could not be resolved The showers look moldy and poorly maintained. There was only 1 working tap. Lots of urine splashed over and around toilets It is cheap with a nice location, but don't count on good quality sleep with poor matras and noisy roommates who also put on/off the lights all night

I participated in one of their events, I had stayed there before in January of 2022 and I had a wonderful experience. The staff are nice, the beds were good, the food is always amazing. I particularly enjoy the bitterballen and their burgers. I recommend this hostel especially to solo travelers who wish to socialize and experience the Netherlands to a whole new level.

Beloved place for the locals: a real nest for whom who loves the bohemian side of the planet. {see pictures below} As for the capsule beds & room. Well, I'm Google local guide - I've visited lot of various hostels & places around EU & UK, sleeping in decent room, capsule or the shed in the backyard. My uncle is a name in the hotel business. I'm not a naive. But this room is close to the bottom end of the "budget" category. I mean it : if you are able to put human beings into a little storage room without window.. is this the 16th century? Even a "koye" has minimal windows for the sailors... Are we talking about hospitality or storage? Pros • Reception guy was extremely helpful after the miscommunication around booking & gave me good solution! • All Staff member were mainly positive and helpful. • Key card is a safe thing {deposit 10 €} • The hostel is really close to the train station (20-22 min walking). • 20% discount* in the cafe/bar/place • Great events! Various in every week! Cons • Windowless capsule dorm - but at least ventilated • The bathrooms are modern but they're... what in a crammed hostel you would expect. The staff is trying to do the best btw! • Coffee sucks - really bad! Whyyy? • The *"Discounts for you": only applies to food! After all - this IS the recommended place in The Hague, as the "other" hostel has much worse cheap rooms.

This place is both good and bad. Good - 1) has a cafe in front which served really good coffee and food. Food was vegan - the vegan hamburger was excellent and the coffee great. Decent beer and wine selection and the cafe staff (who also check people in and out of hostel) were very friendly and efficient and make a great cup of coffee! 2) laundramat very close by; 3) cafe has bands/musicians some nights and were OK; 4) cafe serves as a lounge area and has games for people to play and hang out; 5) location was great - a metro station is just outside the back door and trams pass by every few minutes; 6) price is very good per bed; 7) other fellow guests were pretty quiet. Bad - 1) Room was dirty - floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned or swept in a long time - especially under the bed. Lots of dust, dirt, etc. under the bed. When we checked in a lone dirty sock was on the floor near my bed. Was told by another guest it had been there for days. I stayed there 5 days and it was still on the floor when I left. Dropped my book under the bed and it was covered in dust when I retrieved it. The walls really need a paint job. Just felt grimy staying there; 2) Several bathroom fixtures did not work. There is a room for toilets - the sink to wash hands did not work so you had to go to the shower room to wash hands. There were three sinks in the shower room, but one of those also did not work - not a great situation when several people are trying to brush teeth and wash hands, put on makeup, do their hair, etc. 3) The cafe out front is open to the public and the only bathroom for those customers is the same one that the hostel guests use. With the toilet sink not working, that means a lot of people coming and going to use the sink available in the shower room. Really made me uncomfortable taking showers in the evenings with all the people coming and going into that room. 4) one of the showers was used several times to store equipment, making it unavailable for use. 5) We stayed in one of the first rooms in the hallway coming from the cafe - all the food smells and noise of the cafe permeate into the room. 6) loved that bands play in the front room on some nights, but they were EXTREMELY loud and played till around 11:45p so if you stay in that room, be prepared to not sleep before midnight. 7) loved that there was a cafe that served coffee and breakfast - but it didn't open until midmorning in April so not really useful for morning coffee - you'll have to search out a place a distance away - nothing really open at that time in the near vacinity so got used to taking the metro every morning to get coffee on the way to sightseeing. 8) there were lockers in the rooms, but the one I was using was broken so there was no way to close it or lock it; 9) one of the staff evidently had one of the beds in the room permanently which felt a little weird. The rules stated no food in the rooms, but this rule evidently didn't apply to him. I think i

Very Friendly staff. Peter is great and give you all information you need. We had a dinner at hostel. Very good menu, no chicken burger was great and… what a big portion of tasty fries! A special thankyou for the band was playing a Jam session at the hostel bar. I wanna be back at this Friendly and nice place!
