Loved this hostel. Would stay again no problem. We stayed in a private double room with private en suite. Very clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Only problem was that ours was on the very top floor and the stairs are small and very windy! But it wasn't too bad. There is also a gorge common room with a little balcony. Don't leave stuff in the fridge though cause people will take it! Thanks again :) Cat.

Staff not very polite, atmosphere of the hostel cold,people don't speak to others maybe caused by the poor places (2 big room of 20 beds,1 bath room without door, just some WC and showers about 5 of each), I feel myself there like spending time in a train station hall.In bath better wearing shower shoes. In bed, sleep with my clothes due to a bed feeling from the cleanliness of it...Sunday morning, staff open room door & lights at 9, sorry for people who wants to sleep...Near station,red light

The receptionist is nice and friendly. The en suite quad room is perfect but the heater was not really working so it was quite cold at night!

Our stay was perfect as far as we are concerned. We stayed on the 6th floor in the double room and had gorgeous views all around the city. It had loads of storage space and a balcony as well as a huge bay window that opened to views of the Westerkerk and Dam Square. This was a beautiful place to stay, and they were very friendly- our room was more like a flat or a party pad with loads of space. The only downside was being on the 6th floor without a microwave or hob, but we did have a fridge.

It was a cute hostel. We stayed in the 10bed female dorm. It hasn't got an elevator (we had to go up to the fifth floor from the stairs) but the room was nice and clean! It has a really tiny kitchen (microwave and fridge-so if you want to have a snack,breakfast or a quick meal it's ok-not for actual cooking) It is in the center of the city, near the dam square. We actually enjoyed our stay there.

The only good aspect in this hostel is the location, because the rest is awful. The room is full (22 people) and there is no window. We have to pass in the reception to go to the toilet and showers, so embarrassing! There is a microwave oven and a little fridge inside the toilet, terrible!! Someone stole the blanket of my friend and there isn't another one. Inside the room is very cold! Also, bed sheet and pillow smell bad. Staff are not very polite and simply didn't solve our problems!

The staff was always skyping or on facebook, just a bit awkward. Also the front door has no lock and neither do the rooms, so theoretically people could walk right in. We weren't given keycards or anything, it was just a walk-in walk-out type thing. None of our stuff was stolen but we definitely felt the need to lock up our stuff.

The only good thing is the location!! Cold shower, thin matresses, barely a pillow and barely a blanket so it was freezing! Every time someone walked upstairs their footsteps on the stairs were ridiculously loud.

Great location, nice layout of the room, glad to see single beds and not bunk beds. One bathroom between 10 was rough and not the cleanest but the location beats all of that.

I don't recommend this hostel. I stayed in an all female room for a weekend and was extremely underwhelmed. The staff was ok, the rooms were not as cold as a previous review had stated, but it was not a welcoming place. We had about 10 people in a bare-bones room with thin, see-through curtains--it felt a bit like an old hospital. If you really need a place to stay, the location is it's only redeeming quality. It wasn't horrible or gross, it was just not worth the money I was spending!

The hostel is expensive, in general really poor, the location is the only good factor. Bathrooms are the worse. You will be lucky if you could have a hot shower...

Excellent location, and if you literally just need a bed and internet then this is your place. But it has no common areas and if you stay in the mixed room downstairs the WC and showers are in front of receiption with no doors so is very weird and uncomfortable. Staff was very nice to me and location couldn't be bettter.
