Amsterdam Hostel Reviews

Eric would be a good president for Switzerland, very generous!

In my opinion the staff is to strickt with all the hostel rooms. e.g. I have never been kicked out at checkout time so stricktly, kitchen was never closed so tight at closing hours, etc...

Love the hostel as it brought me new friends, and the facilities were really great, especially the in-house bathroom.

no bathroom door. cleanliness was not given. not worth the money we had to spend!

The breakfast is nice, but you have to cook your pancakes by yourself. So if there are 4-5 persons before you, you have to wait too much time. Anyway, this hostel is clean and the atmosphere is good. I spent a good time.

It's a good hostel in a great location. Nothing really special but all you need!

We had a problem with the light bulb in the bathroom going and it didn't get changed. There was a large amount of mould on the walls, so a re-paint might be a good idea. Also, the rooms were freezing.

Great Location! At Amsterdam Hostel there is a very nice and friendly atmosphere and it is easy to meet other travellers, especially at breakfast time while queuing for the pancakes! ;) Definitely recommended!

The building is very old and water pipes made terrible noise every time someone downstars was taking show. People next door were loud during the night and staff did nothing about them. Our toilet had problem and they did not fix it; double bed is really narrow; musty smell inside the room. And they charge additional 15% tax.

Great location, really safe. Walking distance to chinatown, piers and abny other attractions. Staff was fine. Hostel was clean (rooms) but externals as windows, fire staircase etc were probably never cleaned. Linen was fine. Kitchen was extremely dirty and smelly. Breakfast included: yes, but keep in mind that you only have pancakes you're doing on your own (from a huge bucket), coffe and maple syrup. Laundry area was a huge mess: also rarely cleaned. But price to value was great!!!

Excellent hostel. Recommend it wholeheartedly.

Probably the worst hostel I've stayed in in years. The filthiest and the noisiest, no doubt. People didn't even talk to each other, didn't bother cleaning up after them. Breakfast included meant waiting in line in a smoky kitchen and laddling out a disgusting dough into a pan seriously in need of being trashed. I do not recommend this place to anyone asking the bare minimum you expect in a hostel.

the location os great but staff could be more welcoming. the kitchen has very little space to sit down. the outside area is nice but also pretty small for a hostel that big.

Great experience except the people I was with in the room were super rude but it's not the hostel's fault.

Hostel was good other than a group of guests who were downstairs smoking. Even after staff came down to talk to them, the group continued to smoke and were very loud until past midnight. Staff finally came down and sent them outside in the front due to numerous complaints from other guests. There was a front area away from the rooms people could hang out in that was near staff. This area was unsupervised and near the private rooms & it seems it should be closed off at night.

great location

it was really nice actually! LOVE the pancakes in the morning

San Francisco was the first and the last city in our schedule. And in both times we would stay in this hostel. In the first stay we realised that this is a truly overpriced hostel you'll not get what you paid for. The shower didn't work properly, the room wasn't ventilated enough and the staff is unprepared. And in the second time they lost our reservation. After 11 hours driving with a plane to catch in the next day they offered me two beds in a dorm somewhere else, and I had booked a private.

did not expected it to be that clean!

the common area at basement was so nice. i could enjoy watching movie with large and comfortable sofa.
