Mama Hostels Ecomama & Cocomama

In December 2010 Anika Jacobs and Lotje Horvers took the European hostel scene by storm. Opening a brand new and unique Boutique Hostel in the centre of Amsterdam, filling it to capacity night after night and getting one rave review about it after the other. Having traveled the world both with a backpack and on serious business, they were able to combine all their favorite features from luxurious hotels and cosy hostels. After a few years of setting up and managing hostels abroad, it was time for their own business in hometown Amsterdam. What could be more thrilling than to spend the night in Amsterdam’s most famous brothel from back in the day? Get a real Dutch experience in the uniquely themed rooms: Windmills, Tulips, Cheese, and so on. Guests can save a few bucks and prepare their own favorite dishes in the fully equipped kitchen, soak up the sunshine in the spacious garden or battle their fellow travellers on the old-school Nintendo system. Explore the city on one of Cocomama’s bikes or join in their weekly boat rides along the canals. Anika, Lotje and their Cocomama crew will go above and beyond to make their guests feel at home, informing them with insider tips of the city and making their stay as comfortable as possible. Over the last two years Cocomama has established itself in the world of upscale and luxury hostels as one of the market leaders, appearing in national and international press and winning several international awards.
