Good for the money. The hostel is located a bit away from the main town centre, about a 25minute walk but the trams are super easy to use. Opposite an amazing park that you'll love if you are there in summer. Beware of the stairs, they are incredibly steep. Breakfast is just a variety of bread and spreads, kitchen is ok. Free wi-fi and computer access is great. Helpful and friendly staff. One bathroom with toilet shower and basin all in one sucks a bit for such large rooms. Otherwise all ok.

Sarphati hostel is located in the near centre of Amsterdam, which is really convenient. You can get anywhere with the tram or a bike. Also there's a cheap bike renting shop 30 seconds away from the hotel. The rooms are big (we stayed in a 10 people room).The staff is really nice. The only down point is that we couldn't cook anything in the kitchen except with the microwave, so we had to throw away the meat we bought. Otherwise we met really nice people from everywhere in a nice atmosphere!

For a start you don't own a hostel and have your pet cats roam free into guests rooms! It was disgusting Also I woke up one night with one cat sleeping on my chest I am asthmatic for crying out loud It was completely unacceptable worst stay ever I don't recommend for anyone to stay at this hostel Ever!!!

die Beschreibung stimmt nicht überein und allein die unfreundliche begrüssung von dem Mitarbeiter haben einiges ausgemacht.

It was overall a comfortable 3N stay. Although the walls are a little too thin for our liking. Every opening and closing of the doors in other rooms can be very clearly heard. We got a private ensuite room as well but it turned out that it only has shower facilities and missing a toilet bowl!

There are cats in the rooms, everything is dirty, the breakfast is horrible, kitchen is dirty, staff is not nice, first hostel that charges 3 euros for luggage deposit, even if it is for an hour, location is good, but far from city center, a nice wjalk though, there are cheaper hostels that might be much better.

This was an okay hostel. The \'free breakfast\' is just toast with jam, nutella, and peanut butter. My friend and I ended up having to leave early and couldn\'t get a refund for our last night, which was annoying. It\'s also about 20 minutes from the red light district, which isn\'t bad but there are a lot that are closer.

Internet connected computers provided for free. Too few hostels offer that. My experience was fine there. Its a pretty simple place. Good as just a place to crash, not social at all. Not a too far walk from the city center which is good. Breakfast is just bread with condiments and hot beverages.

Basic hostel a little off the beaten path (about a 20-30 minute walk from the main attractions of downtown), but not bad for the price! Breakfast is limited to toast with spreads, plus coffee and tea; rooms and bathrooms are small; staircase is impossibly tiny and steep. However, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, so no big complaints! Take tram 25 from the Centraalstation.

We booked 2 beds in 4-bed room, but at last they let us live in a 6-bed room, there is a person living in it for several months, making the cleanliness terrible...

Personnel très agréable, souriant, qui cherche à vous satisfaire, surtout si l'on ne parle pas la langue ni l'anglais. Intérieur sobre, simple. Calme garanti et très bien situé. On se sent très à l'aise, entouré de jeunes gens et jeunes filles très polis. Reste à faire un effort sur l'aspect de propreté de la lingerie, notamment sur les draps housse. Prix abordable pour Amsterdam.

The hostel location is okay, about a half an hour walk from the centrum. The hostel is not so cozy but quite peaceful and the staff is friendly. Our room wasn't very clean - usually it doesn't matter that much, but the webs hanging from the ceiling and stains we found from the bead sheets were a bit too much. BUT the actual problem is: two weeks after paying the stay, they STILL haven't taken off the pre-authorization they made to my account. They haven't even answered my inquiries! Outrageous.

I have already explained my concerns to hotel sarphati. I did infact not stay there...i cancelled my trip well before arrival and still was charged the FULL amount of money. They not only charged me but they stopped replying to my messages acted very unproffesionally and did not display any amount of ettique nor good customer service. I will never reccommend this to be a place anyone stays at and am very dissapointed in the lack of respect they have. i would also like my time refunded.

-Didn't respect our reservation. -Didn't relocated us in a equivalent paid room. -Didn't keep promess for compensation. -They have a cat wandering all over the place. Cat hair all places. -Kitchen, rooms, badroom are disgusting. Cat lives in a small door wher food for breakfast buffet is kept. -General maintenance is very poor. Too expensive for quality. -Evident that owners only look for money, and the place is falling apart. they dont give a damn for the customer. Worst experience ever.

Sarphati was absolutely fantastic, especially for the price. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend it.
