The hostel is soo cool to stay and its soo young .. But only that the location is a bit not right in the center but u can walk or take the tram . And second thing is the breakfast it should be included in the fee cos its already not a very cheap hostel iv been to lots of other hostels (always i take single private room) cheaper and the breakfast is in.. But over all it a cool place

A really nice place, conveniently situated if you're into parties and/or Rijksmuseum. You'll have to walk for a while or take a tram to get to the Red Light district or Rembrands house, though. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Except for the last day, when we forgot that it was our last day in Amster. And we returned in the late afternoon to find our things all crammed into a garbage bag in the backroom beside the bin. Not nice.

I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel, I felt very comfortable and safe coming here as a single female traveler. The staff was very friendly and very helpful when I had questions. They also had a killer band play on Saturday which made the place a lot of fun. The one note I would have are that it is located a bit outside of the center but it is close to a tram line and a major piazza so its easy to get around and you don't feel too isolated.

Nice staff, cool atmosphere, clean rooms, good value for money, I would stay here again... Tipp: Don't come with big luggage cause the stairs are narrow and steep.

Everything was fine! Big thanks to the staff!:) one tiny detail that wasn't that awesome: despite the no-smoking policy, the room smelled like an ashtray and the window was broken; it was not possible to leave it open and let fresh air in.

Great to hear you've enjoyed your stay and the stairs! People who visit Amsterdam for the first time have to get used to our Amsterdam staircases...Best regards from the whole staff! CU next time!

Great hotel full of character, and the staff are really friendly. Location was also great right in the centre of Amsterdams music scene. The only thing I would critise is the noise at night. But then again it is something you have to expect as Amsterdam has a buzzing nightlife. Overall highly recommended and I look forward to staying again.

Really really comfortable hostel, expected cooler themes rooms but the hospitality of the staff were amazing. They were SO patient and helpful it literally felt like home! Would definitely stay there again and reccomend it :) only thing we weren't happy about was the rude wake up call!! There should be a late check out option.
