The Golden Stork

We are a small hostel family with the perfect location in the city center of The Hague at a typical Dutch canal. We also have unlimited free coffee, and a cozy dorm to sleep in.
Besides all that we have an awesome staff (who will be your new best friends) and they also organize all kinds of activities in or around the hostel. Also really good for a nice conversation (with an optional beer)!

We are two brothers who started our first hostel here in The Hague. We are very involved with the day to day business. We like to help our volunteers out discovering the city and share our knowledge and skills about our coffee culture.

Dennis fue un excelente anfitrión, siempre dispuesto a ver la forma de colaborar con las necesidades de uno y buscar un punto medio en que ambas partes seamos beneficiadas.
Trabajé de forma directa con la Gerente de HSK y la Supervisora de HSK, Skirmante y Karyna resectivamente, y fue muy ameno y agradable haber podido trabajar con ambas. Al igual que Dennis, siempre predispuestas a ayudar a uno cuando es merecido.

It has been a wonderful experience being here. The tasks are simple and the team is always willing to explain things to you so you can always give your best. I have had good volunteer colleagues that I will carry in my heart. Thank you, Dennis, Skirtmante, and Karyna.

I volunteered at Golden Stork Hotel in Rijswijk, doing simple tasks like painting and restoring rooms. Faizel was super nice and helpful, and the staff were kind. Rijswijk is a cute city, perfectly located to visit Rotterdam, Den Haag, and Delft. I really enjoyed my stay and loved my first Worldpackers experience.

However, if your goal is to practice English or meet people, this might not be ideal, as most spoke Dutch and I was the only volunteer. Maybe the position in the hostel could have given a different vibe :)

Thanks, Dennis and Faizel, for this amazing opportunity!

It is a very interesting place, I am very happy to have the experience and to be part of the team. It is a stylish and creative place with very interesting common areas. The building is safe and has a good team atmosphere.
Cheers Golden Stork!!

My experience was good, sometimes I missed some explanations on how to do the events but I managed to do it my way, it's bad that the volunteers don't have a room to themselves, The food is good but sometimes I felt like I was wrong to ask about it as it was never ready at the agreed time. It was a good experience, some points to improve but I recommend it.
