We wanted to find an hostel in the center of Amsterdam. So we choose this one as we saw that comments were OK. When we arrived there, we had to pay the 5% of the price (they write it in very very small on your reservation). We booked a twin bed room because the double bed one was no available...We... More

Honestly, you can find better elsewhere. Yes it's kind of cheap, but it's not worth it at all. Disgusting toilet and shower. I've preferred to skip shower rather to use those awful showers. So gross. When I was there, there was a lot of disrespectful and really loud people. Tiny tiny rooms.Terrible. Never seen such small rooms. And not clean... More

CONS: The rooms are very small, not very clean (nor was the bathroom) and a private room I booked had a bunk bed in it which was pretty disappointing for a couple. Narrow flights of stairs with a five floor walk up no lift so if you've got lots/heave luggage I would avoid. It's in the middle of an utter... More

I had made a mistake with booking this hostel and they wouldn't let me fix it. Ended up charging me for 2 people instead of 1. The room was smell, dirty, moldy, and overall just not clean in any capacity. I would never stay here again. More

Aside from the fact that the hotel rooms and bathrooms were incredibly dirty and small the staff is by far the weakest point. We did not even stay a night before we decided to move elsewhere. I was traveling with a group of friends and from the very beginning the manager tried to squeeze every dime out of us. He... More

As everyone has said good location But a poor hostel. I can't bring myself to call it a hotel. Rooms are tiny, reasonably clean on inside. Difficult to get bags up stairs. Biggest issue is that there is only ONE shower and toilet for a whole floor. So queuing is necessary. It really does not work. You would be better... More

DO NOT GO HERE! 1 star is too many. We arrived for a night's stay and were disgusted by overgrowing mould in the showers, cramped beds with no privacy (and audible bodily functions from the half-cleaned toilet nearby) and, the final unbearable insult to the considerable injury, were charged over double the written price for the stay. I was asked... More

I spent last weekend in Amsterdam with a group of friends. Unfortunately we were not happy with the accommodation, although the location was good. I have stayed in hostels before but this was grim and so overpriced. We thought that the price would reflect the condition of the place. I'd be happy to pay the amount they charged but we... More

So you understand my viewpoint, I'm not a regular Hostel goer, but have stayed in a few around Europe. I've also stayed in Amsterdam several times although this was my first hostel there. The location is excellent for the Leidesplein area, can't go wrong with that. Typical steep Amsterdam stairs, to be expected. We had four of us in a... More
