What a wonderful stay

Oh, what a wonderful Hostel this is. It is brandnew and everything was just perfect! I loved the interior and details and the staff was superfriendly and welcomming. It is also located in a lovely neighbourhood easy to walk to the city center or with the tram in front of the door.

Mon lit était trop haut pour mon âge, i l y a des occupantes qui sont bruyantes dans la nuit, sinon tout était parfait .

Central, but quiet.

Stayed for 8 nights, park and museums near by, as is cafés supermarkets and coffee shops. Tram stops right outside. Postbox for mailing postcarrds right across the street, walking distance to Dam Square...

Central, cozy, and clean.

Great place, top standard, cozy lounge / café. Comfy beds, clean bathrooms and showers, both spacious. Central location, a great stay. Going back there in a week for a longer stay...

電停から徒歩1分、アムステルダム中央駅から路面電車で10分強 立地は良く、カーテン付きのドミトリーは清潔で快適だった。ウェルカムドリンクも感謝そのもの。

We stayed in the 5 person room, really good value for money!
Zack, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel is well designed and functional. In the shared (mixed) dorms, the bunk beds had curtains for privacy and large lockers for luggage storage. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have great water pressure. The reception/coworking cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and you get a free drink ticket from the coffee bar :) The only critique is the dorm bedrooms have motion sensor lights at nighttime, which could be distracting if you’re trying to sleep/stressful if you’re trying not to wake people up. Really enjoyed my stay!

Great staff, the pub crawl is their best feature because you get to meet the wonderful guides and go to fun places where locals meet. Props to Wojtek & Lidia for making our stay memorable.

Stayed for 4 nights. Perfect spot! Dorm area was always quite and people were considerate! Bathrooms may be a little tight for some. But great place to stay as I was solo for this trip.

Supert hostell rett ved trikken.

Supert hostell med gåavstand til det meste. Trikken stopper rett utenfor, cafeer og matbutikk rett rundt hjørnet. Kommer garanterr ril å bo her neste gang jeg er i Amsterdam. Bodde på sovesal for kvinner, vi var 15 stk på rommet og det var stort sett stille og rolig. Ikke så sosialt hostell siden det ikke er kjøkken eller store fellesareal. Men ble khent med folk på rommet.

Volveré a alojarme sin duda

Si tuviese que volver a Amsterdam me alojaría aquí sin duda. La experiencia ha sido inmejorable: pude hacer el check-in de antemano, desde que llegué me atendieron con amabilidad y me ofrecieron una bebida de bienvenida. Todo está completamente nuevo y muy limpio. Además las camas con cómodas y cuentan con taquillas magnéticas para guardar tus pertenencias. Lo único que me chocó fue que uno debe hacerse su propia cama y después devolver las sábanas en un saco a recepción, pero tampoco en nada que me desagradara. Tienen comida a muy buen precio, tanto de desayuno como almuerzo, y recepción 24 horas. En pocas palabras, me encantó este hostel.

Great for short stay in Amsterdam

Lovely little gem. Price is a bit high, and there are some typical hostel things missing, like a guest kitchen area. But it was clean, well maintained, and provides easy access to public transit options.
