Hostelworld says

St Christopher’s at the Winston has been recommended by Hostelworld staff as ideal for ‘anyone who wants to stay close to the Red Light district and coffee shops’. This ‘very exciting’ hostel was voted the most popular in Amsterdam at the 2011 Hoscars, and it’s not hard to see why; it includes a bar, beer garden and smoking area, with discounts on food and drink in the bar downstairs. There are daily walking tours and free ear plugs, plus an elevator—an uncommon feature in Amsterdam buildings and useful for carrying heavy luggage.

Property Description

St. Christopher's at The Winston is right in the middle of all the action Amsterdam has to offer! The Red Light District is just outside our back garden, We're a 5-10 minute walk from Central Station, and we're 1 minute from Dam Square. The hostel serves up a rocking bar with a beer garden.

There is a continental breakfast available every morning for just €6 a day which can be purchased at reception on arrival, and free WiFi runs throughout the building. All guests receive 25% discount on food at our lively Belushi's bar and restaurant, plus 2 for 1 drink deals!

We have a fun, diverse, international crew; many of whom speak multiple languages and are travellers just like you. They are happy to help you plan trips and book tickets for onward travel, and there is a free walking tour that picks up from the hostel and a pub crawl that passes through our bar each night.

Party or relax in our on-site Belushi's bar and restaurant where you'll find cool tunes, sports on TV, a pool-table, great food and drink promotions all year round. On our bar menu you'll find hearty and healthy food, including the best burgers in town, tasty salads, towering Nachos, killer spicy wings, and luscious wraps. And to make things even better; all hotel/hostel guests get a 25% discount on the entire food menu! In regards to drinks we have 2-for-1 promos on Corona, Vodka, Whiskey, Rum and Gin. Also look out for 2 EUR Jaegermeisters and 1 EUR Apple Sourz shots.

Because of everything mentioned above only people over 18 years old are allowed.

There is free Wi-Fi running smoothly throughout the entire building.

Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00. We have a 24-hour front desk and secure coin-operated luggage storage that can be used before check-in and after check-out (max. € 6 / 24 hours)

The property was in poor condition in my room. There must have been a block in the drain the bathroom made me sick to smell. There was a mouse running around the hostel. The property also gives discounts to the bar downstairs which is overpriced anyway so you barely notice the discounts. It's a great location but that's about it. I wouldn't recommend for solo travellers.

Excellent central location, great atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Great beds with curtains and individual lights and power sockets including USB plugs. Lockers under the bed big enough to fit your whole backpack in - just make sure you bring a padlock. The room could have been a bit cleaner as there were a lot of empty shampoo bottles in the shower, wet towels on the floor etc, but that’s always the danger with dorms and is more on prior guests than the staff. Breakfast was good. Would happily st

St Christopher's at The Winston says

Direi che una delle caratteristiche più singolari del nostro ostello è che abbiamo invitato vari stilisti emergenti a decorare ognuna delle nostre camere con temi strani e meravigliosi. Siamo veramente fissati per il servizio al cliente e facciamo di tutto per far sentire tutti i nostri ospiti a casa. Il nostro staff vede gli ospiti come loro amici e di solito sono fuori a bazzicare nella nostra grande e confortevole sala fumatori. Abbiamo il quartiere a luci rosse nel nostro cortile e il Palazzo Reale è il nostro vicino di casa. Il Jordaan è un tipico e pittoresco quartiere olandese a solo un paio di isolati. Ci sono dei canali , case galleggianti, architettura classica e tantissimi negozi indipendenti e ristoranti.
