The welcoming, kind staff
Dormitory (my corner) quite spacious, very warm blanket
+ the other customers respected the silence of the Dormitory
Lots of restaurants in the area
The bed must be made by yourself (bed cover, duvet cover and cushion + towel packaged in a plastic bag) so reassuring

decent hostel overall. Staff were good throughout. Location isnt in Amsterdam centre and 15 minutes walk from Zaandam station. Facilities pretty good in general bit no locks on rooms is an interesting choice. Rooms were clean but male bathroom was flithy at times. I wasnt at the hostel much bit it seemed reasonably social.

You step in the front door, it's like like stepping into the lobby of a derelict hotel. No clue you're in a hostel. Then upstairs at reception looks great and modern, big and spacious seating area, guest kitchen where I met the staff member who i found quite overbearing who showed me around. However the door into each dorm does not lock. I was assigned a higher locker. My suitcase was too heavy for me to lift it in so I just had to leave it exposed in the room knowing everyone in the hostel could access it. Going to bed (and you hear everything out on the street) I was on a top bunk, and as I was climbing up, the handrail I could see was already loose ripped off the chipboard panel it was screwed into and falling off the ladder hurting my ankle. I finally managed to get to sleep several hours later a staff member intentionally wakes me up by pulling my bedclothes to find out what happened with the rail and with no word of concern or asking if I was ok.
PS I've added a couple of photos of the holes the rail came out of.

Very noisy, especially the noise from the pool and data center above and the casino below is deafening, until the middle of the night. Furthermore, there was an offer from City Trip Hostels themselves on the internet for 17 euros per night incl. taxes and surcharges and at the counter they said simply; "No, that's not right, it is, just sit down for a moment...24 euros! Instead of their own offer of 17 euros, that is not a little more, that is 40% more. Furthermore, the staff That's great, they really do their very best. But especially posting an offer on the internet and then simply asking for 40% more at the counter is really scandalous!

BAD EXPERIENCE OVER ALL! NOT SAFE
The staff aren’t friendly or welcoming,
One of the stuff stole my belongings and when I asked the manager I got yelled at
The location and facility are perfect
Some of the travellers was complaining also about the rudeness of the manager and that he was racist toward him…
People get locked out after 1am and when you call them or ring the bell they let you wait for long periods
I will never go again or advise anyone to go.
Thanks

Pros : clean, great common space, nice big kitchen, locker is big and easy to use, love the cube compartements (bed).
Cons : you hear the beat from the Casino or pub at night (put earplugs ) and no security so technicaly, anyone can come in your room (make sure to leave everything in locker)
Neutral : Hostel is in Zaandam, not Amsterdam, but a 20 min train ride. Not a problem at all since public transit in this country is 10/10
Had a nice time chatting with some people, I would recommend !

The facilities at this hostel are excellent, and the vibe around the communal area is outstanding, it has a very good antmosphere and a great community feeling to it. It’s very clearly kept very clean, including bedding and wash facilities. We received much hospitality from Franz and Hanna at the front desk making for a very welcoming experience. Overall, I would 100% would recommend a stay here.

Nice and clean in the pods and common areas.
Kind staff: Lau and Patrick were extremely helpfull and kind, and we were shown to our pods and so on:)
The location was very good and close to public transport in Zaandam! Takes about 10 minutes or less to walk to the station. The surroundings are very nice and clean, and the hostel is placed in a big shopping area.
