Hans Brinker Hostel in Amsterdam

If you're looking for sophistication and the kind of hotel that regularly caters to A-lister and Premier League footballers, then this isn't for you. If you're looking for a weekend packed with laughs and stories you'll be telling for years then it's bang on.

You've heard the phrase "All fur coat and no knickers"? Well this hostel isn't wearing a fur coat. It's simple, friendly and brilliantly Dutch in its relaxed and slightly eccentric appeal.

So, let's start with the important stuff. Happy hour! You can kick your nights off properly by raising a glass to the groom and getting happy. It's what stag weekends were invented for. That's not all, at the end of your nights out you can head back to your hostel and down to the basement nightclub. In between, thanks to the excellent location you have the city of Amsterdam right on your doorstep.

You're just a hop, skip and a pancake from the best bars, clubs, cafés and restaurants. Leidseplein, the city's main square, the Red Light District and (hold on to your hats) the National Pipe Museum are all within easy walking distance.

Inside the hostel is simple, bright and full of life, there's a bar for those evening drinks which in the morning becomes a café for those post night out caffeine hits, there's also a garden, vending machines and free WiFi to upload those photos of the groom, because what happens on tour ends up on Instagram.

But this fantastic hostel really is all about the wallet friendly price and superb location in the centre of one of the world's best party cities.
