Scene
Hostel-style vibe, popular with young budget travelers
Hotel
Mevlana is located in a narrow brickwork building typical of Amsterdam,
right in the center of the city. The ground floor is home to a small noodle restaurant and bar that looks out on the busy street.
The hotel's reception counter is located at the back of the restaurant, and
guests have to negotiate a narrow and steep stairway to the rooms
on the three floors above. With only 17 rooms, the Mevlana is quieter than many other hostel-style properties, but it's still a place where budget travelers crash after a night of partying. And apart from the noodle bar, the
hotel does not have any common areas where guests can gather and socialize.
Hotel Mevlana draws mostly young budget travelers, especially friends traveling together.
Location
Within walking distance of Central Station and Dam Square
Hotel
Mevlana is located on a busy street behind Dam Square, about a
six- to eight-minute walk from Central Station. The location is well-served by
public transportation, with many bars, cafes, and
restaurants nearby. Many tourist attractions, such as the Anne Frank House, the Royal Palace, and Amsterdam Museum are within
walking distance.- Three-minutewalk to Dam Square
Rooms
Clean but basic dorm and private rooms
The 17 rooms at Hotel Mevlana are well-maintained but spartan -- apart from the beds, there's no other furniture, and the dorm rooms
can be cramped, with little space between the bunks. Some of the
rooms have low ceilings, which make them seem even smaller. Rooms with private baths can accommodate two to eight people, and all rooms, including the dorms, come with TVs, bed linens, and towels, but they're not air-conditioned. The toilet and shower rooms are decked out in
modern tiling and high-quality fixtures. Guests have
complained about a “sewer smell” coming from the drains in the
shower, and the lack of ladders between bunks.
Features
Breakfast service, on-site snack and noodle bar, free Wi-Fi
This basic hostel-style hotel has few extras. Breakfast, which comes with a fee, is served in the downstairs restaurant every morning. The on-site snack and noodle bar serves meals and drinks
throughout the day. Bike are also available to rent. Guests are welcome to leave their luggage at the
reception area after check out (and before check in if necessary), and a safe is provided for guests' use. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the
hotel, but the connection can be spotty.
