Excellent localization, very near to Museumplein with a tram station very close. There is also a Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and McDonald's less than 3 minutes walking. The rooms and bathroom are very clean, I had no problems with the people I stayed with in room. Every bed in the room has a socket and a light. There is also an ATM inside of the hostel and a great dinning area with a bar.

Terrible stay. Very expensive, no garden as said in the description, people from the reception were useless and trying to do as less as possible. We had the "H" of hotel in our face in the room and the curtain couldn't hide it completely, and cleaners slap the door at 8 A.M with vacuum cleaner and entered 2 times the rooms at 9 eventhough we said multiple times "no enter", and they woke us every morning because speaking loud. Beds are so small and short I couldn't even sit properly on the bed (I'm 173 cm...), we had the feeling we were in a prison. But definitely not the same price....One of the worst hotel I did for this amount of money ! The bar has nothing to do with the pictures on the site. It's dark and empty, so no one speaks with each other. No space to smoke a cigaret when it rains. And the shower urgently needed a descale ! The only good was the property of the room. I don't recomand it.…

Not helpful, if someone want to extend there booking. You can't know the increase in price if you change the room at the reception. You have to accept whatever price the reception folk tells you.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this hostel in Amsterdam. I made a reservation through Hostelworld, and when I arrived at the hostel, I was informed that I could not stay there because I was over the age of 35. This was a complete shock and, even more concerning, I felt discriminated against due to my age, as there was no clear age restriction mentioned during the booking process. The lack of transparency regarding this policy was frustrating and deeply unprofessional. It's essential for hostels to clearly communicate such restrictions upfront, especially when they can ruin a traveler's plans and make them feel discriminated against. The way the staff handled the situation was equally disappointing. Instead of offering a solution or assistance in finding alternative accommodations, they simply turned me away. The lack of customer service and empathy was truly disheartening. I would strongly caution anyone considering this hostel to thoroughly review their policies and be prepared for the possibility of last-minute disappointments. My experience left me scrambling to find a new place to stay in an unfamiliar city, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same ordeal.…

I just left the hostel today and I realized in the airport that I forgot my coat in the room 305, I called to the hostal but the girl in reception today, 22 October, was extremely rude on the phone and did nothing to support me to get my coat back. My friends are still in the city and I told them to go the hostel to collect the black coat (North face) and I called to the hostel too, to say that my friends were coming, but once they get to the hostel, she didn’t help us, even knowing that we are leaving the country today, I consider this is very bad treatment to guests. Could you please help me with this to figure out how can I collect it?

Great hostel in a great location. My husband and I were delighted with our double room. Clean and had all the amenities as described. Staff were very friendly and helpful also. 24 hour reception also which I thought was brilliant as we had an early checkout.

They do you not want you in the dormitory if you are over 35. They tell you you will be asked to pay extra to stay in an individual room. So this isn't just agist, it is classist, with their assumption an older person can automatically afford to pay for the more expensive room.

10 of us stayed for 2 nights. We had two 6 bed dorms to ourselves with 3 x bunk beds in each. The beds were comfortable with a pillow and duvet included. The bathroom was small but perfectly acceptable for our needs. There was quite a bit of noise at night with people coming and going but that was to be expected for a hostel. The slamming of the door to the rooms was rather annoying. Maybe look at getting a soft close door on the entrance to the rooms? The bar was decent. We didn't have breakfast included so can't comment on that. Check in was fine. A little bit of a queue but we did check in bang on 2pm when it opened so we expected a little wait. The location is great with plenty of bars and sights in walking distance as well as easy access to nearby trams. If you have realistic expectations of what a hostel offers then I would 100% recommended this place. If, like many other reviews, you're expecting a 5* hotel on your s**ty 1* budget then maybe look elsewhere. …

Overall a fantastic hostel. 20+ of us stayed, and the rooms were good quality - with either 4 or 6 to a room. Good quality bunk-beds and bathrooms. Check-in and out was a little slow, and breakfast wasn't fantastic but for the money it's excellent. In short walking distance of the tram, and all staff are helpful and friendly with the bar open for most of the day. Would definitely recommend for large groups - stag-dos etc.
