Hostelle was founded by Bianca Brasdorp. Having worked as a Marketer for most of her life she wanted a change. The main reason was that she wanted to do something creative and have a job that involved lots of interaction with people. After brainstorming she decided to start a hostel. Because there wasn’t a hostel for women yet in Amsterdam she thought that it would be a good idea to offer women and girls a safe, beautiful, fun and clean place to stay in Amsterdam. Little that she knew that a hotel/hostel was one of the most difficult things to start in Amsterdam! She stumbled upon an office building that was vacant and that was ideal to turn into a hostel. After dealing with government regulations, estate owners, and constructors she finally was able to finish Hostelle and open in march 2012.

We are only a 15 minute subway ride from Central Station and from our nearest station, Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena Station you will find numerous public transport possibilities to the airport, other parts of Amsterdam and other places surrounding Amsterdam. So after a full day of shopping and sightseeing, you can enjoy the peace and quiet at Hostelle. But fear not, there is plenty of things to do in the neighborhood; you can catch a movie at the Pathé Movie Theatre, go shopping in the Amsterdamse Poort shopping mall or enjoy an delicious exotic meal for prices you won’t believe!
