Al United States of America

LOVED this place! I stayed in Amsterdam for the other 2 nights and I regretted moving. I was happy to pay a little extra for this hostel. There wasn't a buzz of the big city just the joy of peacefulness in the interiors and the smiles of the staff. This is a good bridge between mid-range quality on a budget.

Ginny United Kingdom

I loved the friendly staff, the location, the room I stayed in.

Mariam United States of America

Wonderful staff and incredibly clean hostel with a charming atmosphere. Bonus points for the great coffee!

Maxime Netherlands

The rooms were bright and clean. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were luxurious.

Alina Germany

Comfortable beds, friendly staff, everything in walking distance, very elegant decor. Nice free Earl Grey tea. Quite good value compared to nearby Amsterdam.

Nate6553 United States of America

This property is OUTSTANDING in many ways! All the staff at the reception were friendly, accommodating and provided me with everything that I needed from early check-in, towels, refreshments, adaptor, suggestions where to go, etc. I had a fab breakfast at less than 10 euros! Scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes was the best! The lobby is really cool and relaxing to hang out. The room is very spacious and sparkling clean with private toilet and bath, this is what I really like :). The bed, pillows and linen were so comfy, I've never experienced this before with other hostels, I decided to skip a night out and just enjoyed my rest. Everything was perfect!
