Bobs Youth Hostel. Inexpensive and has a main room for gathering. I have no idea where it was except that it is not far from the train station and they don't take reservations.

A lousy, but great place
I have stayed here several times. Why? I am not sure. The place is junk, but it is proud of it.
I have slept in room with ten beds. I have found puberty hair in the sheet, before I got into it. They throw everybody out around 12, even if you are staying another night - so that they can sort of clean the room. And the reception is in another building - one block away.
But the reception is a cool place. It is like a cafe. You are going down a few steps, they are playing some music and it is a strong cannabis-air. You get some fried eggs for breakfast.
Both the room and the reception is a great place to get to know other people.
I like it the place. But I am sure a lot of people will really dislike it.

Bob's gets two thumbs up!
After arriving in Amsterdam without any place to stay, I joined a group from UT Austin on the quest for a hostel. We ended up going to Bob's Youth Hostel (after being turned down at the Flying Pig) and getting a three person apt. We ended up putting 6 of us girls in there because it was SO DAMN HUGE!!! The apt was bigger and nicer than mine at home! We had a great view, a very large kitchen with breakfast nook and oven, and the bathroom was pretty large too. The place was clean and had a homey feel. There was even a fireplace! I don't think the dorms there were AS nice, but they didn't seem too bad. I also think we got the best apt they had (we saw another 3 person one and it was also really large and nice, but not as large and nice as ours)
Unique Quality: Be prepared for stairs! To get to our apt, we had to hike up 5 flights of steep and narrow stairs.
The apt we had was one street down from the Bob's Youth Hostel office, but just a two minute walk, if even.
Bob's has Heineken Happy Hour from 8-midnight every night with 1 euro Heinekens! The lounge is usually full of people during this time and it's a good place to meet other travelers. (plus, you don't really have to be staying at Bob's to go to happy hour...unlike the bar at Flying Pig)
I think there was free internet too, but I'm not sure.
Great location....near the train station, downtown and the red light district.
- Opinion of Price: less expensive than average
