Hello I'm Local Boutique Hostel, Haarlem
You will have serious troubles at deciding which rooms you want to sleep in this hostel: one is better and
cooler than the other! All themed roomsare designed after traditional Dutch themes but with a modern
twist. If you decide to stay in their "Holstein Friesian" room you will experience a typical bedstee; the "VOC
Kolonie Kaarten-makers" rooms instead is covered in maps and will make you travel through the history of
this famous Dutch East-India mapmaker Company. If you stay in "The Province" room which is a 14-bed

restaurant, outdoor terrace with sitting area. Rooms available can be private or shared (mixed or female) and
have all their own private bathroom.
King Kong Hostel, Rotterdam
King Kong Hostel is the latest great addition to Rotterdam hostels. Newly opened, it's housed in a building
that has itself a pretty interesting curriculum: it went from being a tattoo shop first and an illegal
casino/famous brothel later. It's now a urban style hostel, a mix of vintage style and industrial design.
Each room has been individually designed: there is the "Lover loft", the "Businness" dorm, the "Kong Meis"
room and the "Red Velvet" dorm and many more unique room types. There is a roof garden with BBQ and
the hostel is served by an on site bar, the 'Soul Kitchen' which even serves sushi, as well as cappuccino and
muffins!
3. Hostelle - Female Only, Amsterdam
It gets even better when it comes to Hostelle; as well as being a design accommodation, this hostel is in fact
extremely affordable and only for female travellers. Each design room is uniquely decorated with a
special theme. Feel like turning back time to the French Revolution? Stay in the "Marie Antoniette" room,
decorated with French fabric and goldish chandelier. Are you more into Asian art? Go for the "Chinese
Room", with original Chinese lamps and furniture. The room choice is wide: there is also an "Alice in
Wonderland" room and a "Home is where the heart is" room. Classy touch even for the bathrooms, equipped
withGrohe showers. Bianca, Hostelle manager and owner, shares a useful travel tip to visit Amsterdam with
style: "Once a month there is a super big flea market in Amsterdam called the Ijhallen on the North side of
Amsterdam. Wanna see how much you can buy for 20 euro? Come to the Ijhallen! Local vendors offer
vintage stuff and second hand goodies. Prices are negotiable! The next one will be on the 5th and 6th of
April. Make sure you visit it, it's the biggest flea market in Holland! Just take the ferry from Central Station to
the NDSM area. Come by car and you will park for free!"
