Great atmosphere in the hostel. We attend a karaoke night. Has a great location. The room is comfortable, spacious, clean and quiet.

Kind staff members, fantastic location and very social and fun night life. Highly recommended for young solo travelers looking to make new friends and enjoy a center located hostel.

the location was great , the bed was comfortable, the smoking room was really nice

Great location in Amsterdam, perfect if you travel alone. Met so many great people during my stay and the staff is excellent as well. Would come back!

The homey atmosphere and the need to be buzzed in if you weren’t already checked in. The staff was extremely helpful and I wish I had written down names.

it's a 10/10 for this hostel. friendly and helpful staff, nice and clean facilities, good vibes ambiance.

The staff at this Hostel is friendly and super helpful! I am very thankful for the fact that they allowed me to stay here for only one night during a super-long, overnight transit through Schiphol Airport. Staying here allowed me to experience Amsterdam at night, thanks to the central location of the hostel, the relatively affordable rates it offered, and the willingness of the staff to provide advice and answer any questions that I had about the city. I was able to enjoy a pint of beer on the pub on site late into the night, I felt that my personal belongings were secure during my stay, and the bed I slept in was clean and comfortable. Typically, I am not one to book a room at a hostel, but my experience was delightful and I was able to get some very good rest in my room before catching my connecting flight the next day. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to explore Amsterdam on a budget.

Exactly what I expected, mixed dorm with bunk beds. The jewel in the rough is the Staff,.from Greeting you at check-in through departure. Showers excellent, good pressure and water Hot. Shower shoes recommend, but mostly to shuffle back n forth to the toilet. Access security, front door and room via Keycard. Bring a lock, but they sell them on check in. Additionally, there are Lockers you can pay to store larger bags. Bar and separate Smoking room.

Location was excellent, in very center and Very close to everything around. And also close to Central station, so you dont have to walk with your big bags to get to your place. Would stay there again :)

very friendly stuff and the location, and it really clean the room the bed bathroom and good breakfast
