It's not a very pleasant hostel. The bedrooms are spacious, and each guest is provided with a large box for their belongings. However, there's no air conditioning. The elevator wasn't working when I arrived, so I had to carry all my stuff up the stairs. The complimentary breakfast was good, but an incident occurred while we were eating downstairs. A young man wanted a third serving of a breakfast item, but the limit was two per guest. A staff member was monitoring to ensure no one exceeded this limit. When the boy reached for a third serving, the guard not only yelled at him, disrupting the atmosphere, but also insulted him for wanting more food. It felt like a blatant violation of human rights. Rude staff & the location is poor and difficult to find.

I was in a female dorm, I really liked the room which was spacious and had a great view of the town. Each room had a bathroom. For breakfast people had a wide choice of food. The only problem was that the room key demagnetized really often and so I had to go frequently to the reception. The location was not so near public transportation but there were two stops within 10 minutes or maybe less on foot. Staff was really kind and helpful.

This was my first experience staying in a hostel and i have to say it was positive. I stayed In a female only dorm on the yellow floor. Cleanliness was off an acceptable standard. I had a shower , toilet and basin in the room which was nice as you didn't need to leave the room to use the communal bathroom's on the floor. I slept well as the beds where comfortable. Breakfast was basic but did the trick. The hostel is a little far from the centre. But travelling into the centre you get to see more of the city which I liked. I came across a lovely coffee shop selling beautiful food called Jamaican lounge , which I wouldn't of come across if I was staying in the centre. I would recommend staying here. Staff aren't the friendliest but you get what you pay for I suppose. You have to pay €5 for a towel so make sure you bring one. Lidl is a 2 minutes walk away which is handy as I forgot my toothbrush.

The hostel is quite far from the center hence their rate. The rooms were nicely designed. colorful and clean too. Light and electrical socket for each bed. Plus, bed is not so shaky. Breakfast is a bit boring though. All in all, I have enjoyed my stay. Staff were cool!

Clean rooms, spacious, nice view over the highway from the forth floor. The only down thing is that the toilet is outside your room, so you really need to go out with your keys to use the toilet /bathroom. Apart from that everything was fine. The breakfast is very basic (cheese, bread, ham, and cornflakes..) was hoping for some eggs. Overall, all went well for an urgent place to sleep. And it was very cheap.

It's a very nice hostel. The bedrooms are really big, each host has a big box for his things. The breakfast is generous and assorted, amazing! The kitchen is small and the location it's not the best, but by bike you are in downtown quickly. My experience was great!

It was an average hostel, but with decent prices. The staff was helpful and answered all the questions I had. The facilities were maintained, but cleanliness was lackluster in many places. The levels and areas are color coded. I stayed on the yellow level and the bathrooms smelled kind of bad. However, the prices were decent and it is located close to a metro station, which made it easy to get to the airport. It's about a two-ish mile or 3km walk into the tourist areas.

Huge lobby. Really nice and tall rooms. Comfy beds. The design of shower room could be better as straight from the doors you enter shower cabin- quite uncomfortable. They clean the room everyday and eating is not allowed inside rooms!!! Apparently, it's in their booklet that you received at check-in. The service women went inside our room without even waiting for invitation and warned us it was prohibited. We didn't know so we had to clear all foods immediately. Breakfast was basic but ok, coffee was alright. I think they should improve check in as we had to wait around until they clean the room for around 1hour, but all the other guest were waiting too. Lidl nearby. Tram stop 8minutes walk away. Parking in front but not free. I paid in the machine £15 per day, which turns out not to be that expensive for Amsterdam, but not sure if they check. Altogether, cool place.
