Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Strowis Hostel offers accommodation in Utrecht, 500 metres from Museum Speelklok. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Strowis Hostel stands for sustainability, a do-it-yourself mentality, international atmosphere and culture.

The people who work there are wonderful. During check in I got a free beer. They have an area to store your bike. I lost one of my bike keys during check in, they eventually found it after I checked out and are in the process of figuring out how to send it to me. They were very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. For a 8 bed dorm the room was really clean. They have a nice garden and the common area is also cozy. The location is also very central.

Situated conveniently in the centre of Utrecht, Bunk Hostel Utrecht offers à la carte breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 200 metres from Conference Center Vredenburg, 200 metres from TivoliVredenburg and 1.3 km from Conference Center Domstad.

From the moment I got there, after a hot day, I was received with a glass of water and kindness. Helping me with my luggage and making me feel like at home. Staff is exceptional. I highly recommend this location.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, nice room, helpful staff, good breakfast (though there are plenty of options nearby). It’s in a busy area but it’s well sound proofed even on a warm sunny Saturday evening!

    Great location, friendly staff and a one of the most comfortable hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everyone has their own „private“ bunk and there are more than enough toilets and showers for the 20 bunks in the room.

    Great location, it's more like a hotel than a hostel but has a nice common area to work and the restaurant attached is very good. Room was nice and comfortable, they gave us a great view of the library/road. Elevator is a plus too! I would recommend the place for a weekend

    Very friendly and welcoming staff, great back garden and lounge area where you can sit and do work or play games and hangout. Everything was well organised, from the lockers to the kitchen and the working hours, and overall the vibe was very laid back and comfortable. Great location, near party areas but also on a quiet side street. One of the best hostel experiences I've had in a long while.
