Aivengo Hostel Reviews

defi great location but i guess you will get what you paid, compared to other hostels in Amsterdam. no social place unless you start talking ppl in the room... if you are staying one night probably not so bad but if you wanna stay longer... search other hostels

Despite of the bad weather in Amsterdam, the rooms were warm and clean, but we had to go 6 floors upstairs everyday, and it was tiring. But it was sure that nobody were to rob us on this height. The location is perfect (only 5 minutes from the Central Station). I recommend it

I stayed in the female dormitory for 2 nights. The environment there was excellent. It was very safe as it got the lockers to keep the things and other backpackers were very decent and clean. The staff was very helpful and gave us a map! However, the wifi signal there was not very strong and my phone was always disconnected.

The only trouble I faced was the absence of hot water at morning. All the rest was cool. The attitude of personnel was good. Thank you very much :)

We have been staying in this hostel in march 2013. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for great athmosphere, you made our stay in Amsterdam unforgettable. Will come back soon! :)

A very plain hostel, cheap and close to the city. You get what you pay for so its a fair deal. Luxury seekers definitely shouldnt go there. Who just needs a convenient place to stay will be fine.

This hostel was unbelievably cold and not worth the money we paid. In a large room there were only 2 small heaters, and the blankets were unbelievably thin. On request for an extra blanket, we were refused, and the staff were not the friendliest in the world. If you are going to stay in this hostel, I would advise taking a sleeping bag or an extra blanket.

Staff were friendly/helpful. Location was good. 4 bed private room was large with high ceilings so was very cold- weather was freezing outside. There were only thin wierd smelling blankets and pillows provided with hair on them! We were too scared to leave anything valuable there as the locker was broken and the front door had clearly previously been broken into- lots of paint and wood chipped under a new lock. The mattress' were broken, lumpy and uncomfortable and bunkbeds were broken.

We stayed at the attic at the 6th floor, it was huge! My husband loved it but I hated climbing up and down 6 storeys...love it that they had a kettle to boil water..lighting was pretty dim..I think those that came with bigger groups of friends would love the attic, there were two sofas in the room..heater wasn't really strong and we felt cold most of the time..it's pretty good considering the amt we paid

This is quite simply the least inviting place I have ever stayed in, including three of Amsterdam's other budget hostels. That is to say I had low expectations but was still let down. Nowhere to relax (two 2-seat couches for 40 guests?), shocking security arrangements, lights too bright in the room, cramped and all-too-visible washing and toilet facilities, hot water only available from the shower. The staff's local knowledge was non-existent too., though they were friendly enough.

our room was on the uppest floor and the last day we remarked that there is a big kitchen and living room to share but no one told us this on the reception the first day. would be great if we could get the general info from the beginning.But anyway the staff were very nice.

The hostel is overpriced for the quality of the facilities, the kitchen consist in a microwave, a couple of cups, kettle, and a table and it is located right in the bathroom. Besides the beds are in bad condition even the mattresses. But on the other hand is very well located right in the city center, near from the train station and supermarkets.

Nice rooms perfect location.

There is nothing wrong with the hostel persay, however it was freezing - you are given one small blanket and no sheets. I had to sleep in almost all of my clothes every night. There is no common area which makes it almost impossible to meet others. And the hostel is closed from four to six AM... All of the bars and clubs close right around four so you either have to come back early or stay out really late.

the beds are very uncomfortable.

Amazing big double room not very expencive, 5 minutes fron the train station and from downtown, really nice and comfortable. The only thing is that you get to excercise a bit, as it is(at least our private double room) at the 6th floor without elevator :) Definetely reccomended

If your looking for the basic package its ok nothing special you get a bed and a locker but the location of the toilets left a lot to be desired, right next to the kitchen area ( a ledge a few plates and a kettle) but then again it's Amsterdam so I suppose u don't have to use it.

We realised that the 'door code' to get into our room was redundant and that we did not need to enter a code to access our room. To get in and out you do have to go past the reception, but that and the provided lockers are thus the only elements of security provided. Also, the room was very cold; I suggest either providing duvets instead or thin blankets or turning the temperature up. Kitchen is also not a kitchen - only a microwave and a fridge. Friendly staff and good atmosphere though!

First visit to Amsterdam.Greeting by staff member was very informative, map provided. Our room was comfortable and clean, with an ensuite shower room that was adequate. There was a newly refurbished kitchen/relaxation room that proved to be a perfect meeting place. We got to know other travellers. Our room was comfortable and located in a 300 year old building, but we had 70 stairs to climb to get to it.

Great location, friendly staff, clean, handy lockers in bedroom, good value for money.
