Hostel the Golden Stork

good good very good nice

Excellent location

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.
