The location is good, not far from the central railway station and tram stop. However, there is no place to eat, no kitchen facilities, no locker for safe storage of your stuff, rooms are overcrowded. The worst is the toilet and shower, they are both in the same room and it is impossible to take a shower and not to make the whole toilet wet.

Too small, no password to come inside when you arrive, small bedrooms very hot, and price too high for poor quality. But personnals are good.

This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. Not a good value for the money at all.

I had an amazing time in Amsterdam thanks to the guys from Amsterdam Hostel Centre. You do a fantastic job! Enjoyed the community smokers a lot. I highly recommend this hostel.

Rooms are full of garbage and really dirty. Charging extra money than the remaining amount after paying the deposit.

There was only one toilet for every guest at the hostel which was damp (it was also a shower room) and next to the main area. I would say it´s a great place to sleep a few nights and see the centre of Amsterdam but not with any kind of luxury. Very nice room- we paid for two beds in an 8 bed dorm and they gave us a private room which was nice. Electronic key card entry and a code lock downstairs so safe enough. Basic good value beds. :D

Dear Carolina, Thank you for staying with us. But we have several toilet areas in the hostel. And there are also rooms with shower and toilet. It is unfortunate that you have not seen this and could not use. Maybe the next time.

We stayed at the amsterdam hostel centre for 3 nights and had a brilliant time. The staff were great, they were very competent and helpful and went out of their way to socialise and make friends with the guests. Location is within easy walking distance of everything you want to see. Overall highly recommended!!

Bathrooms are not good because after a single shower they get completely wet. Computers available.

It is of utmost importance to have multiple power outlets in the rooms and soap in the washrooms. And the number of lockers in the room should be equal to the number of occupants. The WiFi and free PC usage are good value adds but the hostel has a long way to go in terms of the availability of basic facilities.

mixed opinion. first impression was of a pothead hostel, but well, we are in amsterdam, most people dont come for the architecture. (+) helpful staff (+) cheap (is) (+) beds/rooms clean (-) bathroom: you can take your shower while being on the toilets, and it gets flooded. shower curtains would be a good idea. (-) the crowd it attracts. amsterdam hostels are not for quiet or romantic getaway: your roomies will be high and drunk everyday or so.

It was very good, I liked the location and the room was very clean. Also the staff was very nice and polite with me, especially Benni (or Ben, the guy who served me at the reception),he gave me a map of the city and explained my doubts about the free tour. They also have very good security at the entrance. I think the price is expensive, but other things are fine. Thank you!

Most of the things that he says he has on the hostelworld page, he doesn’t when you get there. I would only recommend it if you really don’t wanna spend money, because the showers are really bad with almost no hot water, and the rooms smell, and everything you do he charges a deposit, it’s ridiculous! I had a horrible experience!

The staff were very friendly right throughout- made us feel very comfortable/secure. We were upgraded upon our arrival, which was a fantastic start to our weekend-getaway.
