Clarification of older garden claims: we have confirmed a smoking terrace behind the bar, but have not confirmed a separate guest garden with seating or unrestricted access. The earlier video describes a garden more broadly than our verified information supports.
Our Cloudbeds terms identify a smoking terrace at the back of the bar. They do not establish a separate garden where guests can sit, eat or relax. If a garden is important to your booking, contact us before reserving so we can explain the outdoor space currently available.
What outdoor space is confirmed?
Our published Cloudbeds terms describe the smoking terrace. Ask reception or the bar team where it is, when it can be accessed and how it may be used. We do not promise garden furniture, a lawn, sunshine, outdoor dining or quiet seating from that description alone.
A smoking terrace may not meet your needs if you are looking for a smoke-free place to read or spend time outdoors. Explain what you need rather than relying on the general word “garden” in an older listing.
Does a garden-view label mean you can use a garden?
No. A room-view description and permission to enter an outdoor area are different things. An older reference to a garden view does not establish the layout, ownership or guest access of the space visible from a window.
Check the exact room description and ask us what view can be confirmed for your dates. Do not assume that every dorm or private room faces greenery, or that a particular view guarantees less street noise.
What should you ask before booking?
- Is there an outdoor area available to guests during my dates?
- Is it a smoking terrace or a separate garden?
- Is seating available, and what activities are permitted there?
- What are the access times and are there steps on the route?
- Can you provide a current photo of the actual space?
Include your dates and group size when asking. If outdoor access is essential to your stay, wait for a specific confirmation instead of assuming that the old article or video is a current facilities description.
Which house rules apply outdoors?
Our smoking terrace is not an exception to the drug-use ban: our house rules prohibit cannabis and other drug use in the hostel and bar. They ask guests to keep noise down after 22:00. No curfew does not itself establish 24-hour terrace access.
Our terms allow friends and visitors from 10:00 to 22:00, with non-staying visitors leaving their ID at reception. Follow staff directions about access and keep shared areas clear of rubbish. Read our updated smoking information for the distinction between the smoking area and the drug-use rule.
Where can you meet other guests?
Our Slainte Irish Pub is connected with the hostel and offers a setting for food, drinks and watching sports. Ask about current opening times and group arrangements. This does not guarantee an organised garden event or an outdoor table.
How do you check availability?
After confirming any essential facility requirements, check current rooms and beds on our Cloudbeds booking page. Enter our confirmed code HOSTELAMSTERDAM and review the price and conditions. A discount code does not confirm a garden view or access to an outdoor area.
Use our contact page for questions about outdoor space, including your booking reference if you have already reserved.
Existing video and brochure
The earlier video describes a green garden with seating. Those details have not been confirmed in our leading source; use the clarification above and ask us about current facilities before relying on them.
