Taha

The staff was excellent and I loved the location.

Sevans

Locations was great. The park is beautiful and gives space to explore. Close enough to just about anything you could need in the city. Staff was very friendly, and the bar was great and very reasonably priced.

William

They were brilliant with allergies, the food was lovely. Very clean facilities and the staff were polite and helpful.

Carol

I loved the hostel itself- the amenities, smoke rooms, bar, the workers. Hostel is easy to find but quite a walk from Centraal station, so plan accordingly. They have lockers to utilize before / after checking in or out for your stuff for 2 euro.

Vivien

United States of America

Nice hostel in good location with excellent staff! Some activities planned every now and then. I liked that despite it having a bar, it was quiet in the room (on the 4th floor at least), and it didn't feel overwhelming, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Linda

Germany

I liked lots of shower rooms and toilets at the floor. So there're no queues and it makes me happy. Also hair dryers are available in the hall. You can rent a towel at 3 euro deposit. Buffet table is served every morning for 6 euro: juice, toasted bread, nutella and cheese spreads, fruits and veggies. Coffee and tea on top.

There's only few bathrooms and the shower space is very tiny. We didn't spend so many time in there, but it would be a problem if it was a longer stay, I guess.

I was in a 14 bed room and the lockers are only 6 out of 14. Despite this every bed had a basket under the bed, where you could put your staff and lock it, but your objects remain visible. Anyway, I would just appreciated that everyone could have is own locker for the valuable objects.
I really liked the friendly atmosphere and the fact that despite downstairs there were always a lot of people and music, the room where very silent. It is a very-well organized hostel, with various attention for host who are used to travel (ear plug, towel, breakfast available for free or for few euros)

“We were disappointed and even thought to move to another place after check-in”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 5 nights
1) The room is very small and crammed so it's not easy to find your way through the piles of neighbors' stuff. 2) WiFi could barely reach our room (our room was on the first floor) - so the internet was pretty slow. 3) The place is quite loud - even in our room we could hear shouting and noise from the pub downstairs. 4) The kitchen is tiny and badly equipped - even two people will find it difficult to cook there at the same time. 5) Three small fridges are definitely not enough for such a big hostel (there are 4-5 floors, each floor has several rooms and 12-14 people in each room). It was hard to find a place for our food. 6) Two out of three small fridges were not working at the time when we arrived. 7) The kitchen closes at around 10 pm and opens very late at 13:00 so it's not possible to cook your own breakfast. 8) You can't easily get access to your own food when the kitchen is closed because all the fridges are in the kitchen. 9) Somebody ate our food - so not all the people staying in the hostel are decent and honorable. 10) Overall the place is tight and usually crammed, definitely not the best place to relax.
1) Good location - Rijksmuseum and Concertgebouw are within 10 minutes' walking distance.

1.There is no elevator in the hostel, so it could be a problem to carry it. However, the staff are nice, they hold the big luggage to the room/to the exit for me during check in/out. 2.the space of bottom bunk bed is more tiny...I can't even sit inside there 3. No heater in the bathroom, kind of cold.
1.The bed is comfortable and clean 2.they provide the ear plugs for free in case you encounter the flatmates who snore.

The staff can be more customer-friendly. During check-in, staff busy chatting away instead of attending to my check-in. All the staff repeatedly reminding me every morning that the kitchen is closed in the morning - please do mind that not all guests fancy the €4-breakfast which is pretty bland. Luggage storage in dorm Room 25 not well maintained and not well thought out. Double bed in dorm Room 25 has only 1 power socket to share for 2 persons.
Near to the tram stop to go to the city or can walk to the city in 20 minutes. Bathrooms look new and clean.
