Receptionist at Urban Hotel – Bed, Breakfast & Good Vibes

I had a great time at the hostel. The hostel and the rooms were nice, the tasks were managable and even fun. The Hostel is located a bit outside of Den Haag, so you will have to take a short drive into the city center, but the station is not far from the hostel. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice hostel that allows you to explore Den Haag and the rest of the Netherlands. Its not really social in terms of meeting the guests but you will have a lot of other volunteers/staff around you to hang out with!

My experience at the hostel hotel was amazing! The breakfast is really, really good, the managers are very flexible and explain the tasks very well. The housekeeping and bar staff are very kind and always willing to help with anything you need. Communication with Dennis, who is in charge of the place, was excellent. I would definitely come back here 🙌

My experience there was very good, it's a place where you can meet people, practice your English and finally walk around the city and enjoy yourself. The only negative thing I found was that there was a time when I didn't have many volunteers, so the supervisors didn't want to give me the weekend off, so I had to work without flexibility. But all the hours were respected, don't worry, I only worked 20 hours a week and I never worked more than that. About the hotel owner, he is a very nice person. I told him to extend my stay and he managed to give me another month, so it was perfect

It was a great experience, the host and the hotel staff were great. Thank you everyone for your patience and hospitality. I also received help from some Worldpackers. chevere I learned about housekeeping. The breakfast was delicious and varied. In my free time, I visited Amsterdam and the canals. It's a very beautiful country, very well organized. I would come back and visit again. It's a beautiful country. I wish everyone the best from your Peruvian friend. Blessings, Jaqueline.

My experience in Rijswijk was pleasant. I immediately felt good with all the volunteers and the team. The work is really easy, and you even have the opportunity to choose your own schedule, giving you a break. The rooms have private, comfortable beds, occupied by volunteers. The area is close to the city center, large parks, and The Hague. I immediately became fond of the staff, whom I greet warmly, Karyna, Rasim, and Hilde are wonderful people. Dennis is always present and available, and he takes great care of any issues, which makes him an excellent host. I recommend this place!

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 the hostel 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!

Photos on the page are of the wrong place, very misleading. area is industrial Restaurant's nice, rooms are alright, but kitchen's always dirty and very dark. no dedicated hangout space for volunteers. Felt like hotel management just used us for work, but my housekeeping managers were very nice. What made my experience good were the people, the place is so odd but you bond with the ppl, made many friends. Would've left 3 stars but were many times where male volunteers had inappropriate behavior with female volunteers, management were told many times and did nothing, I find this unacceptable.

Hey Tristan, interesting to read that “nothing was done”, since every time behaviour issues were reported to us we acted on it. Would have been nice if you had spoken to us directly instead of saving it for the internet.

About “being used”: Worldpackers is an exchange. You got free accommodation and we got your help. That is exactly how it works.

We thought things were good with you, so this review was a surprise. Glad you still made friends. Safe travels.

It is a great place to meet new people. A lot of new experiences and stories. You won't interact with Dennis and Marcel (owners of the hotel), but the volunteers that I stayed with were lovely people.

My experience was good but mostly because of the team of volunteers, there was good energy and desire to have good time. Regarding my task I think I had one of the easiest ones. The hosts were there but always working and interacting very little with the volunteers. The hostel is not in The Hague, but in very close city and for many that is frustrating, as well as the photos on the platform are not those of the place, that's is something that would be good update. The best thing is the breakfast!!! Thanks 💖✌🏻
