3BE Backpackers Bed and Breakfast

There is something for everyone here!
In short, this is how we describe our hostel and Eindhoven’s lively centre.

We are two friends, Franklin and Michel, running a beautiful hostel and making of this an extension of our lives, what means have our pets around is included; Roos our lovely dog, Mrs. No Balls an incredible black and white cat, a turtle and a bird.

Our hostel is equipped with everything our guests might need. Our own years of experience backpacking around the Netherlands and abroad mean that we know what is important when it comes to comfort and service.

Our location in the centre of Eindhoven means that everything is within easy reach. The Parktheater and the Van Abbe museum are within walking distance. It takes just 5 minutes to reach the modern centre of Eindhoven, a student area with its many shops, restaurants, bars not to mention the beautiful landscape that you meet along the way.

Take a look at our pictures in order to get a feel for the atmosphere in our hostel. And maybe you will want to become a volunteer, too.
We look forward to seeing you at 3BE!
Michel and Franklin

We are our own staff, what makes the work daily pretty busy but we always have time to spend with guests. We love to welcome travelers and help them to get the best of Eindhoven and the Netherlands` culture.

I had a really positive time volenteering at 3be. The hostel has a relaxed atmosphere with the weekends being more busy. It is located in a wonderful part of Eindhoven, close to beautiful parks and the city center. The hostel owners are nice people who have ran 3be since the early 2000's. The common room is comfortable with a pool table and the volenteer room feels homey. Volenteering here gives you a chance to meet intersting people, see a more normal side of the netherlands, and get hostel experiance. ps Burgers is a free music venue on the same block, they throw great live music most nights

Dear Michel, thanks for receiving me in your hostel. I gained a lot of experience regarding the local culture, how to follow the rules, and not take things personally. I recommend this experience to anyone that wish to grow, and mature as a human being. Kind regards,

getting to explore more of Eindhoven was a really great experience! and my volunteer group made it so special, creating amazing friendships I'll take with me through life.
the tasks are as described and working hours are always respected, and the work isn't hard, just needs to be done the way our host likes it. at first, I wasn't able to do a lot of reception tasks, but I spoke to the hosts about it and they really listened. Michel gave me so many tips about things and places to see in town, Franklin let me practice my dutch and was super chill and having their cute dog around was so nice!

I had a nice month volunteering at 3BE, most shifts are 4 hours and and will either be in reception or cleaning. The volunteer room is quite big and is a good space to hang out with the other volunteers. and Eindhoven and surrounding area are quite nice to explore especially by bike.

it was my first time spending so much time in the netherlands, and i’ll always look back on it with a smile. the work was quite easy, though you should know that the rules for how things are done are very clear and strictly followed. the place itself was calm and peaceful. volunteers have their own private floor with a rooftop balcony (!!), and i absolutely fell in love with the city. don’t miss the chance to visit a spot nearby called ‘burgers’—you won’t regret it ;))

huge thanks to Michel and Franklin!
