Shelter Jordan Christian Hostel offers comfy, friendly accommodation at great prices in Amsterdam. Here you will find a multicultural atmosphere and you will receive value for money. With its city centre location, you will find it easy to get to all the city's sites and attractions, most of these which are reachable by foot. Central Station, Anne Frank House, Dam Square and Leidse Square are just a few minutes' walk away.

All the rooms at this hostel are single sex rooms. Please double check what sex the room you are booking is for, as you will not be guaranteed a room if you book the wrong one. There are rooms accommodating 4, 5, 6 and 8 guests and dorms for 18 guests. Dorms are sectioned off to create a more private environment. All prices include taxes. There are 98 beds in the hostel and compared to the bigger Shelter City, the sister hostel, Shelter Jordan is situated in a quieter area of Amsterdam.

The hostel provides great facilities and a welcoming atmosphere to make your stay more enjoyable. The staff is international, they all speak English and are always happy to help. There is no curfew. If you do not have a padlock for the lockers, you can purchase one from reception.

There is a terrace in the garden and a cafe in the hostel. The cafe offers food and drink and is a nice spot to relax and meet fellow travellers who come from all parts of the world. Smoking, drugs or alcohol are not allowed in the hostel but cigarettes can be smoked in the garden.

Guests of ages 15 to 40 will best suit the hostels' atmosphere but anyone over 40 years of age are also welcome.

Bookings:

4 bed rooms - 2 or more guests may not always be guaranteed the same room but the staff will try their best to put you in the same room.

4-8 bed rooms - €15 deposit is required for room key. When the key is returned at the end of your stay, you will receive your deposit back.
