beautiful isolated location in amsterdam, Wi-Fi is fast and the receptionists are great, beds are comfy and have privacy shield, elevators are fast and the paid breakfast is good value for amsterdam cost of living. location is next to a beautiful park you can walk in the morning

Dominic Canada

The rooms were very clean and comfy. I also liked the fact that the hostel has a bar with both inside and outside seating, and also a canteen where you can have a breakfast. Staff were very friendly. Looks-wise it is a nice place to spend time in and has a cool atmosphere. It is set in a nice park in very close proximity to city center.

The view from the room was beautiful, straight to a huge park. Staff was always very nice, friendly, and eager to help us when needed. The hotel decor is very cool, I liked the mural view from the elevator.

Natalie Germany

I had SO MUCH FUN staying here at this gorgeous & cool hostel at the edge of the beautiful green park! The place was clean, staff was ultra sweet & friendly, & the food at the restaurant was bomb. I had the best chicken sandwich of my life there! The girls at the front desk were super helpful, I had to make a last minute change to my reservation & they handled it so nicely, I loved them for making me feel comfortable. The rooms are minimal but tidy & painted cute colors. I wish the windows open for better air circulation, but everything was otherwise pretty standard. Not only would I stay here again, but I've insisted my friends stay there at least a couple nights when they're in Amsterdam!

The staff is excellent and the reason why the stay is easy, relaxing and completely worry free. Girls at the reception are wonderful.

Sinisa Croatia

Very friendly staff. Really cool space and facilities. The location is amazing, it is close enough to the city center but also has a huge park right next to it. Breakfast not included but it's a fair price and was nice.

André Portugal

AMAZING location, space, and food! Service is great, and they have every amenity I needed during my stay. I will be returning for sure.
