With a total of over 270 beds and 40,000 guests from 150 different countries, it is fair to say that these hostels are busy, lively and exiting places to be. Most of the travelers staying with us are between 16 and 45 years of age. And many are on a spiritual journey.

shelter city

The Shelter City hostel opened in 1972 and is the biggest of the two. It is located at the edge of the Amsterdam Red Light District. So close to the world of prostitution and addiction, the Shelter City truly is a light in a dark place.
