Aivengo Hostel Reviews

Standard hostel, little cramped but can't complain bout the price and location.

Great location in Amsterdam, just a few minutes walk from the train station. The room was great, not the most trustworthy of locks on the door thought. The towels were dirty, and no king size sheets, on the king size bed...

It was a really nice place, two steps from the Red Light District. Staff was friendly and helpful. The worse part was the cleanliness : The cleaning lady wasn't really working hard and seemed drunk or something the few times I've seen her. I hope that at least my bed sheets were washed. The room was so dusty that my girlfriend mopped the floor.

when i were sleeping somethings passed from my bed.. approximately five minutes later again something passed.. After that i get up ad waited what is that ?? And a mouse was walking around my bed... then i went to see the staff.. i told this stuation and he said to me: - yes mouses are general problem at amsterdam.. only that :(((( i changed my bed to upper one :)

The matress are too tiny. We can feel the steel bars of the beds.

Aivengo hostel was great. i was glad i booked my stay there, right next to everything that amsterdam has to offer. i already booked a return stay thanks to the friendly staff.

the toilet is too small, only blanket for cover is not enough, better to have plug in the room

The Hostel is in great central location in Amsterdam Spuistraat (opposite Amsterdam Centraal Station). My only issue was when I was leaving on the morning, I was not given enough time in the toilet as a disabled person, I take no less than 3 times longer in toilets to do what healthy people do. Other than this small problem, all was good.

staff were unfriendly at best, the doors are locked between 4-6am so if you head out for the night, you have to wait around till you can get back in to sleep on a "matress" thats so thin you can feel the metal bar through the back. shower and toilets are in the lobby which, unless your a child or midget are a struggle to fit in. one of the worst places i stayed in while travelling through europe

The staff at this hostel were three friends that were high all the time, therefore not reliable for directions or other questions. The cleaning lady starts loudly cleaning the dorms at 9:00Am-- just when literally 13 girls were trying to get ready for the day. Not to mention, the dorm had one bathroom for 13 girls to share!!! Can you imagine how long it took to get ready in the morning with that wait?! I had been haphazardly assigned to a cot. Not enough lighting to read. Plus MICE. Seriously.

on their website they advertise wifi, and there is no wifi in the rooms, just in the lobby which has space for 3 or 4 people to sit, which is always full. There are mice, which are expected, but they run around the rooms, and eat the food. We stayed in a 12 person female dorm/ensuite and had to share one bathroom between 12 of us, which was not very nice. and for having 6 or 7 floors, there is no elevator, but you can't change the structure of the building so that couldn't really be changed.

We had a fabulous time at the Aivengo. We were travelling in a group of 9 and felt like we had our own private flat. The staff were nice and helpful and the location was excellent. The only downfall we had was that the hot water ran out after around the 6th persons shower, make sure you get in first! We had a fun filled weekend!

the location is good, very close to the train station. but the staff is a little bit cold and absent minded. I live on the 5th floor but give me the key of 4th floor, and there is no lift on the building which has a spiral stairs that is difficult to climb. the female room is large but the blanket is very thin, making me very cold in the evening! the common area is very small, only a sofa beside the reception desk.

The 20 beds room is horriable, mice on the ground.

Was clean but not great facilities to cook which was a little annoying as that is how we like to save money, the dorm we had on the fourth floor was really bright in the morning and my friend had to put her mattress on the floor to be comfortable, since there was a bar under her back. I also didn't like that there was no common area for people to hang out and chill together.

amazing atmosphere and great location. definitely would and will come back when going to amsterdam next time!

LOL. This is not the Ritz, actually it kind of sucks sleeping there. Only sleep here if you plan on being so ridiculously high that you won't have any issue falling asleep instantly.

only the location and price is good, if you just want to find a convenient place to sleep for one or two night at a very low price, it's ok. the hostel door is always open, which makes me feel insecured. and most of the times, the room door and window is always closed, so the air inside the room is not fresh at all. also, there's only a microwave and a fridge, which means almost impossible to cook. but what is above my expectation is that it's not noisy, even in the 20 mixed room.

according to the price, I would say the overall quality is acceptable; if you're looking for cheap place for stay, I would recommend it

We stayed in the female room on the 4th floor. The room and the facilities were pretty much OK except for several things. If you need wifi you better stay on the first or second floor, because the signal doesn't reach the upper floors. Be aware that there are mice on the premises - a lot of them :) They come out only in the night and if you leave any food outside the kitchen cabinets, fridge or inside your bag you'll not be able to sleep. Do not leave your bags open in the night! :)
