St. Christopher’s at the Winston

The St. Christopher’s chain is fairly well known in London, where it has several hostels. If you have stayed in one of them, you will be pleased to know that there is also one in Amsterdam - St. Christopher’s at the Winston. The hostel is located right between Dam Square and the Red Light District, it lies in the middle of everything and makes getting to what you want to see and do easy. It is, for instance, only a five minute walk to the city center or the main train station.

Taking a cue from the artistic nature of this famous city, the rooms at St. Christopher’s at the Winston were each individually designed by local artists, making this a unique place to stay in Amsterdam. And we are not talking just a splash of paint on the walls, either - you can choose from the body fat room, the button room, the manga room or even the exotic and fetish room. It is Amsterdam, after all. Every room has private en suite bathroom facilities.

Some of the amenities you will find at St. Christopher’s at the Winston are:

  • Free linens and towels
  • Free breakfast
  • Internet access
  • Luggage storage
  • On site bar, restaurant and nightclub
  • Private outdoor garden
  • 24 hour reception

St. Christopher’s at the Winston sometimes feels less like a hostel and more like a hotel, so do not expect it to be the party hotspot - although if you are looking for a great place to hang out with friends or make new ones, the on site Belushi’s Bar or the Winston International nightclub downstairs are the places to go!

This hostel is really an ideal place to relax after a long day spent sight seeing - especially in the private outdoor garden - and the uniquely decorated rooms and hotel-like perks (at hostel prices) make St. Christopher’s at the Winston a great find in Amsterdam.
