Hostel the Golden Stork Reviews

good good very good nice

There is no towel , you need to pay for it 3 eur

No towel 🤷♀️

It is a bunker-style hostel with a little bit of old facilities but privacy is guaranteed. The location of the accommodation is great and the reception staff is friendly.

第一次碰到床上有蟲，太可怕了😱……戴口罩😷一夜未眠……身上紅疹在擴散，很癢，今早又癢醒了，不敢抓，怕留疤……箱子存在他們那裡，感覺也被污染了，剛剛換了一個，現在還怕衣服是不是一起放箱子裏有污染到，現在都要有心理陰影了，就怕哪裡有蟲子🐞出來……人在囧途，如何是好？

Stayed 2 nights. Staff are helpful on questions. Price-quality in balance. I slept in the 8 room dorm and had a top bed. Bed and all comfortable. To have some shelf and storage space is great. Top bed has a steep 2 step climb, you really need to be fit to get in. The cocoon type of bed reduces interference from others. But if room mates start handsfree arguing with their wife loudly at night, then even ear plugs do not support you to sleep. Sleeping in non window room helps to sleep. I found it a disorientating experience. Both rooms and toilets/ showers are not super clean, fair I would see with opportunities for improvement. Since I am an explorer, I will return , but only if alternatives are unavailable and less appealing

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.

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.

Everything you need! Good healthy food, very friendly people, a lot of private space for a hostel bed and a good central location. I would easily stay here again. Also, everything is from local products / ingredients and not expensive at all.

This is an absolutely disgusting establishment; some of the rooms don’t have windows and are crammed full of people. This results in the rooms smelling terrible; it was so bad for me that I only stayed a matter of hours because it was so disgusting. Furthermore I arrived on a cold miserable day with rain; however this Hostel does not allow you to check-in until 17:00 hours. Even though staff were in the reception area they would not allow me to check-in until 17:00 hours. Given that you can’t check in until 17:00 hours it would seem reasonable that you can then check out at 13:00 hours however there is no allowance made given that you have to check out quite early. Additionally there is no communal area; this place is just absolutely vile and the worst place I have stayed in whilst in the Netherlands.

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.

We came with a group of colleagues and we had an amazing night. The live music definitely made us stay late and come back. Would recommend it to anyone who likes a cozy atmosphere, good food and a canal atmosphere.

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
