If your budget doesn’t quite stretch to some of the luxe hotel beauties, don’t despair, forget your preconceptions about grungy dives, there are some more affordable options that are reinventing hostel chic.
The Generator Hostel is in the East of Amsterdam but we’ve heard it’s pretty amazing. Located in a historic university building which dates back to 1917, it has been reinvented as a high-ceilinged design-driven experience with great bedrooms (shared and private) as well as hallways full of art and creative design touches such as glass fronted elevators and a former lecture hall turned into a chillout lounge and bar.
