This hostel is by far the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. At 45euros a person for a 12 bed, it is an expensive dump. Obviously, as it was a city hostel, with a great location we were not expecting amazing facilities but this was well and truly taking the biscuit. The room: dirty, tiny tiny beds, questionably clean... More

First of all photos are fake. we went as a group of 5, having read the awful reviews we decided to go anyway because it was the cheapest place and not booked out. so we went with very low expectations. When we first arrived the reception guy was really welcoming and friendly which was a nice surprise. once in the... More

My friend and I booked this by looking at the (fake) pictures and didn't read up on the reviews :( As soon as we arrived we got a very unsafe feeling about the place. We have both travelled the world on a budget so weren't expecting much in terms of facilities but this was something else! The "lobby" area was... More

Having booked a room for 10 online for £25 a head, we thought we'd got an absolute bargain. However upon arriving at the hostel, we were first informed that the room we had booked for ten people was unavailable - and as a result two of our group would have to stay at another hostel about five minutes down the...

They staff are amongst the rudest people you will ever meet. booked a room only for hotel to advise they never had booking and never even offered to assist. Please stay elsewhere if going to Amsterdam

I'm used to hostels, so I didn't expect much. And this is one of the cheapest in town, so you get what you pay for. The beds were fine and the room could have used a good cleaning, but I've also seen far worse. Admittedly, it is very loud as the hostel is on a very active party street. There... More

During my stay at Leidseplein Hotel, also known as Amsterdam Hostel Leidseplein, I really only encountered two major problems. The first was roommates, but as it was a hostel, we'll chalk that up to luck of the draw. Second was one very rude member of the staff. Everyone except him was wonderful, helpful, and friendly. I do think other travelers... More

Just as every other review on this site says, this place is a dump, a lie, and a traumatizing experience. I have traveled extensively and always stay in low-budget accommodations, so I'm used to less-than-luxury accommodations, but this was a new low. It is 'run' by three middle-eastern boys in their 20s who are standoffish and disinterested. First off, it... More

Great location and awesome employees but the bathrooms were beyond responsive. I wonder if they were ever cleaned? Otherwise we would have definitely stayed there again. Maybe in such a big city an apartment is a better idea.
