Reviewed Sep 17, 2026Nice staff, bar downstairs is a nice addition, good location.
Hair in the shower, some kind of fungus as well, it was mostly clean so I guess they've just forgotten it. But the room is.. Very.. Minimalistic.. It's like an IKEA room and the budget was 150 euro per room in total. They did almost nothing to make it cozy, warer saving shower couldn't be adjusted and has a push button, the lights are super bright, the walls are just plain plywood without any paint or whatever. There are two stools and a foldout table so it's not suited to work, there is NO closet space. And the toilet and shower are suuuper bright and are just also very boring. It's 8m2, that's about 3 small two person beds. Lots of sound of the road in the morning if you are sensitive to that. In the evening it was super quiet (Wednesday) And that all wouldn't have been a problem, but 110 euro per night? Beers are also expensive, you get 10% discount if you show your card but ofcourse no one asks for it. It's like 6+ euro for speciality beer and 4 euro for a small pils.. It's 1.50 PER bitterbal, insane.

Reviewed Sep 8, 2026Booked a one night stay in the hostel as starting point for a 3-days bikepacking tour. We could take our bikes to the room for maximum security. Friendly staff! Good breakfast at 'Bennies'. Basic room but perfect for the purpose of our trip. Clean bedroom and shared bathroom. What I really appreciated was the option to take a shower after our 3 days tour before we were heading back to Belgium.

Reviewed Sep 6, 2026Location was perfect, we were slightly worried about how far it was from a car park but there was a very convenient public car park a short walk away, and the hostel is located very close to the centre of Zwolle. The restaurant attached was very good and it was nice to get a discount as guests of the hostel.
The single beds aren't very comfortable but completely adequate for a hostel. The shower shuts off without the button being pressed every 30 seconds which isn't very convenient.

Reviewed Aug 26, 2026A nice building in an old town converted to comfortable rooms, close to train station.
Awkward layout of room as the bunk bed blocked the window so couldn't reach the handle to close it for the night. Expensive for a hostel in a small town without breakfast (all nearby alternatives looked like 5-star hotels so even more expensive).

Reviewed Jul 11, 2026Lo único positivamente reseñable es la ubicación, en zona céntrica peatonal.
La habitación individual, a precio de oro, es una cama encajonada entre una pared y una ventana. El cuarto de baño: no hay cortina de ducha, ni grifo de ducha en el que controlar temperatura de agua, intensidad de chorro, o duración del mismo, es tan solo un botón automático como en los lavabos de los baños públicos. El personal que trabaja: Éramos un grupo de 10 adultos, y decidieron llamarme al teléfono móvil a las 23.50h, para comentar que la cocina comunitaria del hostel estaba sucia. Es inadmisible que se de por supuesto que las circunstancias han sido provocadas por nuestro grupo, cayendo en un grave error de estigmatizar según nacionalidad, pero más aún, molestar a un cliente a esas horas cuando no se trataba de ninguna urgencia vital, rompiendo su descanso. Me encontraba en Zwolle por motivos laborales. No recomendaré en ningún caso su Hostel.

Reviewed Apr 30, 2026Het is een fijne kamer, zeker als je alleen bent en voor zaken in Zwolle een nacht moet overnachten. Ik zou het zo weer boeken.
Als je nog wat moet werken is er geen tafeltje, dan moet je op bed gaan zitten nu is dat geen probleem want je kunt ook beneden gaan zitten maar als je wat rust zoekt is dat lastig.

Reviewed Apr 19, 2026Ik bleef maar 1 nacht, alleen, in Zwolle. Dan is een goed bed voor mij belangrijker dan heel luxe. De kamer was prima. Het was schoon en dat wat je nodig hebt is er. Het personeel was erg aardig en behulpzaam. De communicatie vooraf (inchecken) en achteraf (ik kon 's nachts niet naar binnen maar werd snel opgelost en daarover werd later nog contact opgenomen) was helemaal prima. Eerlijk, mocht ik met mijn vrouw Zwolle bezoeken dan is een hostel geen keuze. Zij wil graag comfort. Maar in mijn uppie.... Zeker, dan kom ik nog wel eens terug!!
Misschien wat meer info over het langs gelegen restaurant Bennie's. Is dat bijvoorbeeld een optie voor ontbijt. Ik raakte even in de war door een instructie die her en der hing over het inleveren van je beddengoed. Ik wist eigenlijk niet precies wat ik nu moest doen en toen ik met alles beneden stond wisten de aanwezige medewerkers er zich ook geen raad mee. Blijkbaar had ik alles op de kamer kunne laten, Maar dat zeg ik alleen als tip, niet als grote tegenvaller.

De kamer is goed en slim ingedeeld, maar je kan nog steeds je kont niet keren. Het is wat rumoerig en blijkbaar kan het voorkomen dat er iets gaat piepen op de hal waardoor je niet kan slapen.
